Brilliant cars, built like tanks, 24 valve 2.5 is a strong performer and reasonably economical, arguably the pick of the range. Suspension/steering bushes and links get sloppy with age and steering gets vague though. Two mates ran them for years, both loved them.

Solid car, ran a 520i for a year. Very very decent.
Not sure how they are going value wise, what's the T&T situation on it?

Very well built cars but they eat front suspension!
Also check for overheating/coolant loss and any other leaks?
