2016 550 AWD with 64k miles - to buy or not to buy

Hello all,

I am new here and hoping to be an owner soon. I have found a beautiful 550 AWD, fully loaded, 64k miles going for $27,000. I've been told the 2016 is the only 550 one could buy with any slight sense of security. Any tips on what I should be looking for in terms of issues? As a whole, would this be a recommended purchase? Anyone with a high mileage 2015/2016 550 that can comment?

Thank you!

You can buy , its a good deal and N63tu is slightly reliable too , but beware of maintenance repairs , buying with extended warranty is much better and safer.

Garage List
My 2016 550i RWD has been reliable for me so far, I've had it for 20k miles. 6k oil changes, some minor coolant top offs.

The plastic T pipes on the turbo coolant lines have very minor leakage (obvious from the dried blue flake where the hoses connect) but I plan to have them replaced when I probably do a coolant change/pump(s) swap as preventative maintenance on an almost 8 year old car.

I've broken myself some PCV pipes installing my cold air intake after downpipes, those would have been expensive if I had used the OEM and not aftermarket replacement.
