[quote=temeculaguy]Went with a 2010 528i, with ridiculously high miles (over 90k) for 19k incl tax and lic (didn’t buy from a dealer, fairly unconventional method but not a salvage, clean title, no collisions either). It’s freaking gorgeous. [/quote]

Wow, awesome. Congratulations. Welcome to Club BMW.

Your situation sounds a lot like mine, including age – I think there may be something to that.

I’ve been driving an old Saturn to work for years – no heat or AC for a long time – so a 328i was a huge step up.

Sounds like you got a great deal – I paid 20k for my vintage 328i (2007) with 36k miles.

As mentioned I went to buy a 5 series that had 96k on the odometer, but based on my in depth research BMW’s are very well built and there’s no reason a 528 shouldn’t go 300k and maybe more cost effectively.

I wasn’t worried about the mileage at all, even at 96k.

I really have to watch my speed on the 15, that incredible I6 just wants to go go go.
