Ah, you sound like you have a nice case of wastegate rattle. Something that is swept under the rug on this forum but very much talked about in the E90 forums.

Type wastegate rattle in Google and...

I would negotiate down to 30-31k if I were you. That's not a bad deal though- I would feel good about knocking off just a grand even.

Meh. There's been plenty of early model 2007 335i's running around without sludge or coked bearings and they're well over 100k. Turbo tech has improved. Now, if you want to talk about wastegate...

Oh I'm well aware of what's going on in the N54 tuning scene and I agree the engine is definitely very strong. That does not, however, satisfy the rest of the variables that go along with the motor...

Better in terms of longevity? That is a stretch.

Having said that, OP test drive both. If that extra power matters to you, get a 535i and never look back. The 528i is hardly a slug but the 535i...

Indeed I do. I could've sworn someone on here suffered the leak on their 550i. Guess not. :thumbup:

OP, if you're looking for the most reliable E60 I'd shy away from a 550i. That potential internal coolant leak issue is quite expensive to remedy. The active roll system is awesome but will...

I'd expect a little over $40k, but to be realistic. Not $50k. Very rare to see the ventilated seats option but I don't think anyone's going to pay extra for it. Also, it's not like wagons have a huge...

No shop besides a BMW shop can update the info on the key. All that means is the person got the car serviced (or didn't service it at all) at an independent shop.

Learned that the hard way. If you have the door open and you're rolling slowly, make sure you don't let off the brake because this will happen.

I used to laugh at those too. I had a clear bra on an E46 330i that I used to own. It didn't yellow, but it definitely became more hazy as time goes on. The line where the clear bra ended became very...

Hopefully that's the extent of your damage. I'd say you made out well if that's the case. Best of luck.

I'm positive. BMW put them in E90s around the same time. If it's an LCI car with adaptive bi-xenons, then it has cornering lights. There's no other combination. I really like that future but I can't...

Are you sure? I have a 2010 so it has CIC, but I'm pretty sure you could just uncheck split screen in the CCC models as well.

Not bad. While we're talking about modded cars, I would love to see what a tune on an F10 550i would do. I imagine they could put down some crazy numbers.
