Hi,
I already had a 528 BMW a couple of years back but in 2002 I managed to
destroy it. Now I want to get a 540. I'm debating between the 99, 2000 and
2001 models (UP to around 15000 Euro). Since most people here have quite
in-depth knowledge about these cars, I was wondering if anyone could let me
know which one should I choose (price to future expenses ration, what
modifications were made over these years and what are the parts that are
most likely to fail). I had the 1997 528 which was fantastic and except for
changing oil, there was nothing that I needed to do. I really liked the
sports pack that I had in my old car (i.e. stiffer suspension, sports seats,
M series stearing wheel etc) so that's what I'd like to have, BUT now I'll
be using this car in Poland where the roads are horrible, so would it be
better to get the sports suspension (m-spotsfawek or however it's written)
or the normal one? What would you suggest considering the fact that the 2000
model is much cheaper than the 2001 (from what I've seen in the ads in
Germany). Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Raphael
Ps. Does anyone know any good online sites with BMW adds in germany? I'm
using www.mobile.de and it seems good, but would like to have a look in
other places.
