2003 BMW 5 Series Sedan 530i 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5M)
168K and still going strong!
 This car is amazing!Bought it in '05 with 7K on it and now I have 168K and still solid, well built and reliable!If you can DIY some things, you can save a grip of $$$ and still have one of best cars built, period! Heavy car and going through tires is going to be an issue but nothing beats this car on the open road!I drive from northern CA to southern CA twice a month 700+ miles and 30+MPG can compare with a lot of hybrids out there...but no hybrid is as fun to drive. It truly is the Ultimate Driving Machine!
