Hi, I currently have a 2003 325i with 66,000 miles. Looking to sell it to buy a used V8 model. Leaning towards the 550i since I hear it has fixed problems from the 545i.
I found a 2006 550i with just over 77,000 miles. 4.8L V8, automatic transmission, asking $13,000. I found several of these cars for sale with over 100k miles, but I wouldn't buy one with that kind of mileage unless it was truly rock solid maintenance wise.
So basically, any of you have any experience with the post 70-80k mile 550i's?
I have heard of transmission issues with the V8 models at this mileage. Thats the last thing I want.
Assuming this car passes a complete mechanical checkout at a service center, and has a proven record of proper maintenance, is this a safe buy?
Thanks!
