Honestly the designer of the E60 is a genius because this car hasn’t aged 1 day. The styling completely fits in with modern design language despite being 20 years old.

@@marcd7332 Yeah true. Same thing with the E65 and to a lesser extent the E46 too. I've never really liked the designs of the early/mid 00's BMWs, especially considering how nice the E38 and E39 from the gen before and the F10 and F30 from the generation after were.

@TheCrypto34 7 месяцев назад

Just found you and this video, got an 08 535i I hate to love since it gave me a transmission problem earlier this year and I had to replace it. I've always found it annoying that it had built in bluetooth call but no media sharing and a fairly dated display. After watching this and your older video on the 335i, I feel decently confident to replace the head unit once I can save up the cash for one. Overall good videos and I'm glad you actually walk through plugging things in even though it seems like such a simple thing to do. Shade tree mechanics like me who are used to working on older things like a 1994 ford ranger, get a little nervous with newer cars and all their sensors and electrical bits. I know just enough to get myself into trouble, and not enough to get back out of it most times with that.

@1998Haris 3 месяца назад

Maintenance records for both 2011 is more extensive with all work done at bmw. However it’s at 135k miles. 2015 has only 83k. Are these decent prices or should I be trying to negotiate??

Right now, the 335ix's from 2011/2012 should have hit the bottom of their depreciation curves, and at the same time you'll have one of the best examples of that generation possible (excluding the M3 of course).
