    Looking at 08 550i - anyone in Atlanta area recommend a PPI?

    I've been keeping my eye out for the right E60. This one I've found is pretty well optioned.

    Question is a PPI even worth it? I'm not sure how in depth they get looking at things. I'm in Tampa, which is a bit too far to just drive up to look at it. But I want to make sure it doesn't have some of the dreaded common issues that happen with these engines. Alternator bracket leak, coolant pipe, valve seals, etc.

    Am I just better off getting a 535i? lol

    Thanks

    How soon are you wanting to move? I am thinking about selling my 535 and I am in Tampa.
