Thinking of buying a 2006 530i

[TM15]

For you E60 experts, not me, what do you guys think about the vehicle in the link? I've already seen it in person and it's pretty minty, whit some new parts such as coils, fuel sender and fuel pump. Any reason for concerns here? Reason I like the car is because it's black on black, 530i (decent gas mileage) and because I can get it for below 15K from the dealer, which is my price range. I'm buying this as my daily and have no plans of modifying it as of yet...I got two other cars that are sucking up my MOD funds. : )


BTW, this will be my 5th bimmer and newest! So please, let me know of anything I should look for on these cars that would cause concerns. Thanks in advance! and looking forward to possibly forming part of E60 community.

luv the sales pitch:
REMEMBER THE CAR YOU SAW TODAY AND THINKING ABOUT BUYING IT TOMORROW, SOMEONE SAW IT YESTERDAY AND GOING TO BUY IT TODAY OR NOW

if it's mint...go for it....

It's clean, 1 owner and only 81K miles. Very minor blemishes inside the car, but seats and door panels are mint! I bought the car!!!! Now to research wheels cause I don't like the stock 17's.

I have to say for strictly performance, price, gas mileage that there is no better combination than the x30 cars. I had an E39 530 and for day to day it was a perfect combination. At one point i was thinking of doing all of the work to my 550 when one member asked "how often are you going to race an M5?". and he was right. And i find myself acting like a moron often in the 550 since it has a little power, i rarely did that in the other cars. So it probably is the right car for you considering the cost to own it.

I wonder why they replaced both front headlights. Was it in an accident? Does the paint on the front bumper look new?
