Sorry wasn't able to reply you much as I am actually working in Vietnam and my mobile usage is restricted. But bor Gen is a good person to ask about 535i. He has one of this beauty too for a long time now. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  As mention by bro Gen, 200K is pretty high so the more information you have bout the previous services done is better. You have to really put aside some significant cash for maintenance wear and tear work. But please do check for the transmission functionality as it is not cheap to replace or repair if it has not been maintained. Try shifting manually thru all gears and notice for any slippage/hesitants or jerking during gear shift. Put in sport mode and give it a go pass 3-4k rpm (turbo kicks in around 2k rpm plus).I would advice you take the car to a trusted mechanic to do a overall check before you commit. I did that with my purchase from a private seller. Infact it also helped me to bargain the price after we ran through the diagnostics and mechanical check on what needed to be done to bring the car back to satisfactory level. Highly recommend to do this. Even better if you can get BMW 360 test before committing to such a high mileage car. This initial invest can be crucial and also a little peace of mind to yourself.  Anyways bro hunting a good 535i that suits you is a challenge and an adventure in itself. It took me a year to finally fall for one beauty head over heels. She was everything that I wanted...as the saying goes good things comes to those who waits, best things comes for those who waits a little more until they find the one!!...<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> Happy hunting bro. Hope you find one soon if that 200K miler is not the one! Good luck!</blockquote>
