    I'm looking at a 2001 BMW 525I wagon. Looks to be a clean car, one owner, 91K miles (but yes, I'll do a pre-purchase inspection if I get that far).

    Anyone with any experience with them?

    91,000 miles isn't that many for a BMW

    You probably already know it will want premium gas. That's aboot 20 cents a gallon over regular here.
    Nice car, though.

    I bought my first BMW this weekend (for my girlfriend).

    It was too hard too pass. 1994 325I convertible, 82,000 miles,no issues.

    I will provide an update in another 82000 or when something breaks.

    Holy hijack
