So I made a switch frim MB to Beamer now. Got my first bmw 08 535xi. I have been looking for the e60 m5 and ? 6. But I was tokd thst they drink a lot of oil and are very costly maintenance wise if yiu drive a lot. And I do drive a lot.
So got myself a 535 with 40k miles.

I was also told that the 535 and 335 were known for some problems. What do the folks here have to say about that? Any sleepless nights for you guys?

It looks like all the recalls were tsken care of by the previous owner.

Wanted to do some mods so I started off with the white leds for the angels. And white leds for the license plate lights.
I heard its a nightmare to change the license plate lights?

Also want to get a rear spoiler. What are some good ones out there?

And thank you. Been enjoying it for the past week :)

Oh boy. BTW I was told the M's drink oil like anything. Thats why I didn't buy the M5. I should have bought that. But then again I didn't have any problems yet and I hope I Dont in the future. I have only had it for about two weeks now. Where can I get some nice trunk spoilers? BTW what are the must have mods on this car? :)

Congrats on your new ride. There are a few issues but then what high performance sedan doesnt have issues. The major ones are covered by bmwna, like the hpfp which is covered for 10yrs or 120k miles. With the oil thing I've yet had to add oil and I drive 90 miles everyday for work. I've had my car since April and I'm extremely happy with the car, especially after doing the Cobb ap and upgrading my wheels and tires.
How can I be 100% sure that hpfp is covered by bmw?
Also I honestly dont even know what that is but a few people have told me thats being a known issue. Thanks guys.
