2015 535i 65k miles, great price, worth it?

Hajid · 09-01-2022, 11:39 PM

Looking at a 2015 535i, 65k miles, well looked after and all. 2 owners. Any advice? It's at a pretty good price, any concerns I should have, I know it's a bmw and all but I've heard the n55 is a pretty reliable. I will keep up with maintenance and even preventative maintence, and I will most likely only hold the car for another few years and let it go after 85k miles. I just don't want to be in a money pit and spend thousands fixing it. Any advice? Any comments? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I bought a 2014 535i with 119k miles. Now have 146k and I've only had to replace tires and perform oil changes. The previous owner kept up with the maintenance and it was mostly highway miles. It runs beautifully, and perhaps I'll spend some cash here and there for new thrust arms or a windshield washer fluid tank that is leaking now, but even a couple thousand per year is better than payments. 65k miles is nothing if it hasn't been hooned.

Between 65K and 85K you might have leaks from both oil filter housing and valve cover --- common occurance. You should not ignore any leak from the filter housing. Cost me about $1,900 to have both repaired.

Price is about 20k flat, I'm also looking at a 640i 2013 80k miles. For the same price aswell. But I needed some opinions on the 535i since I was leaning to the 640i

My 2013 535xi has been great, but if the 640 is a Gran Coupe, then it's no contest as I would trade up to a 640 GC in a heartbeat.

It is a coupe, but im fine with either as I won't be carrying around more than 1 other person unless a rare occasion.

Thats a decent price depending on the options. The research I did shows the N55 the most reliable of the F10 engines. If that helps.
