Alright guys here's the deal. Some loser ran a red light and hit my e60. It was my first car! Both cars were totaled.

Anyways my father is buying me a 2011 535i m sport. It's pretty cool and loaded. It's jet black.

Build date is 6/22/2011. Any thing in particular I should look for? The guy says it has zero issues and he has all service records. He also says the numb steering wasn't a problem on his car as they fixed it before his was built. He says it drives like a champ and is mostly highway miles.

Were early complaints on the f10 fixed by June 2011? What should I look for while inspecting the car and driving. My dad is a master mechanic with a bunch f shops and he's very knowledgable in cars.

Someone who's been around the F10 longer than I have can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anything was addressed with the steering until the 2014 LCI. I was considering buying last year and drove the 2013's. The steering was completely different feeling to me than my 2014, which is LCI.

You should go and test drive the car, the steering will feel numb compare to your E60. The 2011 F10 had a host of issues, vibration on the highway, pull to right or left, acceleration lag, jerky transmission............

While I know many people on this board have 2011's without significant problems, a good rule of thumb may just be to stick away from the 1st or even 2nd year of production to allow a manufacturer some time to work out kinks.

Tell your Dad to buy you a new car. Why is he being so cheap???

I don't want a new F10 because the next generation is 2 years away

Consider it more like 4.5 years as it's probably a good idea to stay away from the first two model years so they can work out kinks. I think the LCI is a good time to buy - not "old hat" yet, but also enough time to get most important fixes and revisions into the car.
