I, 23M, am thinking of buying a BMW 525i (post 2007). Growing up I thought these looked amazing and now I’m genuinely considering getting one. How bad an idea is this and have I completely lost it?

    I can vouch for the E60 525i. Solid car, I’ve never had any really bad problems with mine.

    In the ~7 years I’ve owned mine (bought at 8 years old with 150k miles on the clock), I’ve had to:

    - replace the front springs

    - replace the front shocks

    - replace an ignition coil

    - have a wiring repair job done on the reversing switch

    … and other than that, it’s been fuel, filters, and tyres. It’s been solidly reliable, decently fun to drive, and very practical.
