WTB 2015 520i (Need Advise)

[miket]

Dear all,

I want to buy a 2015 Sep 520i, anything that i need to take note during test drive and major repair that i need to prepare for the next 2 years ownership.

Appreciate 520 owner can share your comment, feedback and thanks in advance.

Hi! Have you shortlisted any? Repair list would probably depend on the mileage clocked.

If you are intending to just drive for next 2 years, safer to go for low mileage ones with recent service records as higher mileage usually means higher wear and tear. Then standby a small sum just in case got oil or coolant leaks during your 2 years ownership.

I will minimally do ATF flushing and also change the inexpensive infamous yellow grommet regardless of mileage. Refreshing the yellow grommet will prevent water from seeping into the interior during raining season.

Yes, i did. 2015 Sep, mileage 79000km (not sure it genuine mileage). Interior, exterior and engine bay like new car condition, it like too good to be true..... SMQ348D, not sure is the previous owner in this forum can advise me.

Nevertheless, appreciate your feedback.
