My 528i is turning 20 years old this year and she has been serving me well thus far. I've spent less than 10k in 2.5 years time in maintenance / repairs. Really solid for it's age, take your time to search for the right E39. The one that you posted looks decent for a 525i but the mileage is quite high. Again it all depends on the service history. The engines used in the E39 are quite robust.Of course wear & tear is higher compared to E60/E90 but these models are costlier to be maintained. Anyhow if you got yourself a lemon, definitely it will be a horrifying ownership experience regardless of which model you decide to go for.</blockquote>
