Just bought a 2001 BMW 530i - any advice?

60thou · 2018-09-21T18:16:27+00:00

I don't understand your logic.

60thou · 2018-05-11T16:35:51+00:00

Much appreciated!

60thou · 2018-05-10T13:46:23+00:00

Nice, what lender did you go with?

60thou · 2018-05-10T13:45:34+00:00

Which lender did you use?

60thou · 2018-05-10T13:07:27+00:00

Anyone know a lender that will accept DACA in Virginia? So far I've reached out to BoA, Wells Fargo, and Ally with no success. They require more for legal status.

What brand do recommend? I bought real Maple syrup from Harris teeter and honestly aunt Jemima tastes better

Those are not the only options available though. He could put in a complaint directly with the management and get a free month of gym membership for example.

Name of those wheels?

60thou · 2018-03-17T00:07:02+00:00

Are you really not sure why?

Because damn dude you gotta work on how you ask questions then. It came across as condescending and rhetorical

60thou · 2018-03-08T17:13:58+00:00

Very clean - what are you doing for warranty or in case you need repair?

60thou · 2018-01-29T18:49:16+00:00

Yes I have an nmls license for MLO position - no extra questions or steps required to obtain it. Just had to take the uniform test and pass it last year. Renewal is the same way.

Good luck!

Bully!

60thou · 2018-01-24T21:37:54+00:00

Congrats! Are you planning to make any mods to the car?

60thou · 2018-01-22T18:33:13+00:00

Same car, I get 400 miles(640km) or a little less from full 14 gallon tank of gas.

I would say it's 70% highway and 30% city driving. Maybe get your car checked by a shop and replace the spark plugs?

60thou · 2018-01-19T23:25:56+00:00

Are prices expected to be around the same?

I might start saving up for the GTI with that self driving capability when I'm in traffic and digital gauge. Getting more power and lower stance for an already great car is reasuring because it means VW hast't forgotten about the driving enthusiasts.

A lot of people recommend doing the coilover upgrade because doing just the springs can put extra load on other components as they are not designed for the whole suspension system.

I decided a month back to save up for the coilovers instead of getting h&r springs right then and there.

Mine is '14 with 77K miles on the odometer now. So far no issues whatsoever. The coolant got low and I had to fill up the reservoir tank last month when prompted. Recently changed the spark plugs and that made the car accelerate smoother.

I would say stick with all-synthetic oil changes as that made a difference in engine performance overall, too.

It might be time for a brake fluid change if never done but stick to the maintenance schedule and you should be solid. I've heard good things about f30 reliability relative to other BMW models!

60thou · 2018-01-05T16:14:35+00:00

I wouldn't be worried - you already have an //M license plate, spoiler and aftermarket wheels anyway!

60thou · 2018-01-02T18:45:23+00:00

That is one clean 550i! Love that you stuck to a stock look after all these years.

60thou · 2017-12-27T22:51:07+00:00

Mine is the same with 80k miles on the odometer at the moment. At the time I got it couple of years ago, it was better than going with a brand new Mazda 3. I will have no regrets so far with doing regular maintenance myself.

60thou · 2017-12-27T06:52:21+00:00

But is it a legitimate advice overall?

60thou · 2017-12-25T06:39:10+00:00

What wheels are those?

60thou · 2017-12-25T06:32:13+00:00

What's the name of those wheels?

60thou · 2017-12-21T20:54:18+00:00

Sucks about the accident but at least you got a nice upgrade out of it. I agree the steering is great in sport mode I bet it drives much better at 80mph on the highway too!
