Having a hard time

Long story short. I crashed my e60 a few months ago. Totaled it.

Now trying to find a 2011-2012 F10 with the following
Navi
Cold weather package
Black ex and black interior
M sport package
Premium 1 and 2
Tech package (on 2012)

Then I will get the 2017 5 series

Problem is everytime I find the rare m sport, something's off. Ether too many miles, production date is in 2010, isn't color combo I want, ect

What should I do? I found one but the production date is 11.11.2010. When did they start fixing all the problems and complaints?

Any suggestions, I'm going nuts

Cant comment on when they fixed issues, but my m sport has a 10/2010 production date, and according to the repair history, it experienced the mis-firing/drivetrain malfunction at 4000k. According to the history, since then there have been no problems. If you're buying a car with a warranty though, at least you have some backup.

Regarding your search, I went through the same thing a few months ago. I wanted m sport with very specific options. In the end, despite a very extensive search, I could not find the exact car I wanted. I ended up compromising on the color. I wanted white, but ended up with dark graphite. In exchange I got pretty much everything else I wanted. My experience is that if you must have the m sport, finding exactly what you want will be extremely difficult.

Also, you sure you want black? I'll never do black again; swirl marks...

How's dark graphite? Cousin has a sport package dark graphite, haven't seen it in a while tho.

Also swirl marks can be reduced with hand washing and then after a while you would have to get it "restored" by a professional detailer.

Man, you can't beat a black F10 m sport, that has just been washed and waxed. Lookin freaking amazing. I'm so stuck on black tho. Can't see myself getting any other color.

Yeah, I'd get a used low mileage 2010 550i msport. You'll probably enjoy the handling better than any F10

Have you tried going to a good BMW dealer and checking out their CPO cars. Those carry extended warrantees and are supposed to be checked from top to bottom/front to back. They are a good place here to get a 2011 or 12 with low mileage. Remember that the 528i is a 6 for 2011 and 4 for 2012.Good luck.
