Hi all sifus, I am currently looking for e60 5series and my budget is around 150k. any good recommendation or if anyone of u would like to sell urs? I search around and found that there are so many models in the market, some got "i", some "Sport edition", some different spec... I am getting quite confused now. Can anyone enlighten me? pls....

bro,
Try to get the basic information here,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_E60

Based on your budget, you could easily get 525i (M54 engine) year 2005 or 523i (N52 engine) year 2006. As for M-Sport version, you may need to push your budget to 170k.
I suggest you go and test drive a few models and assess which one you feel more comfortable with. All said and done, you should prepare to put aside an average RM 600-800 per month to keep this model.

RM600-800 per month to spend on which area bro?

IIRC 523i is also 2500cc but just detuned from 218hp (for 525i) to 192hp.

bro,
525i and 523i are both 2500cc but the power output lower for the 523i ie 177bhp and 230 Nm

Of course, it's not every month but it's an average. When you are lucky, 3 months maybe "no action" but
once it comes
Just take a look what the rest of the members shared in this forum for service & maintenance charges.

Just tally up the cost by and you will realise that the average cost more than RM 500 per month, yes?

Both are not M-Sport version. The first one has changed to M-Sport bumpers only. Take note both did not state the actual manufactured year. Just registered year.

Year 2007 - 2009 is the year registered in Malaysia. Normally these models are manufactured around 2004-2005 in their origin country
