Hello, i am considering a E39 523i. Its a year 2000 model with 130,000ks on it. What i really need to know quickly is

1) where is the cheapest way one can go to get a BMW properly serviced

2) including things breaking that ccan be expected of a 7 y.o, 130k km BMW 5 series, what service costs is this likelt to cost me for the next 5 years/75000 km?


and if anyone else can answer...
-how many KMs can the engine go to (keep the estimate conservative) if it si properly maintained?

thanks!

any info?

i know its late night for most aussies :( maybe i will respost this in the general forums and hope to gain some idea.

better to post in the e39 section for general 'what will go wrong' info
or ring the local BMW place
dunno about in aussie but in auckland theres heeeeeeaps of places that specialize in euros but arent BMW stealerships

For starters, what state are you located in?

Secondly... www.eurocca.net/forums

The cheapest way to get a BMW "properly serviced" is to go to a BMW specialist. There's a bunch in different states. Depends where you live.
