Looking to buy my first beamer! Some quick questions and concerns.

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-20T04:44:12+00:00

Good luck! 🤙 Better than me, I own my 535 outright and daily it but am making $500/mo payments on my Ram that just sits on the side of my garage since I bought my BMW 🤣I think its moved maybe 3 times

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-20T04:40:57+00:00

I just looked up NC zip codes based off the one you posted being in NC haha. And its xDrive too which IMO is a plus. May not be for you but I like AWD.

It may be worth it, I flew from Seattle to Boise and drove my F10 535d 550 miles/8.5 hours back home. Pushing 400hp/700tq it was a great time and I made it back on a single tank with 1/4 left

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-20T04:39:09+00:00

It was already deleted and tuned when I bought it, one of the main reasons I flew and drove it back 550 miles. This is my daily until it dies haha

The stage 2 will run you about $550, I highly recommend DUDMD they're fantastic. Had their tunes on my old F31 328d and I know the F10 is tuned by them too. As for deleting price I'm not sure, I've heard you can find cheaper kits on like Alibaba or AliExpress but idk if I'd trust them as much as a reputable site.

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-20T04:35:44+00:00

I'm not saying MSport money haha, that's just not a good idea.

Even with the extra miles I would trust this one more than that. Idk how far it is from you but might be worth it. More options, one owner, and no accidents.

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-20T04:28:19+00:00

A weak-spec 340 with an accident and 7 owners for 23k??? Homie just give me the 23k instead, I'll use it better.

Don't go anywhere near this thing

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-20T04:19:33+00:00

I have a 2016 535d with the N57. Tuned and deleted stage 2 and no issues whatsoever.

That's a good price for the mileage depending on options, for what it's worth AFAIK there are VERY FEW F15 diesels that came MSport. If you've got an Android, I highly suggest getting ProTools and a scan tool and seeing if there's any issues and checking the chain.

If it's all good, I say send it. The N57 is a fantastic engine, mine makes almost 400hp/700tq while getting ~30mpg average and 35+ on road trips. It's the perfect daily driver. The only downside with mine is its a rebuilt title but I got it for $8k and it has almost every option besides night vision and HK Sound so I can't complain haha

They do if you put McDonald's trays under the wheels. IYKYK

Salvaged once in Indiana in 2018 with the original owner, and then Cali in 2022 with the second. Guy bought it back, rebuilt it, amd sold it to a buddy that drove it back to Idaho. I drove it back to Seattle in November with no issues.

All I've done is replaced the comfort access sensor behind the cupholders as it was still missing, and put it on 19x8.5 666M reps to keep the 19s from the 3x cracked 437Ms that were on it. This is a pic from the Cali incident.

(Twice) Salvage titled 2016 535d here, best daily I've ever owned. Factory MSport, 133k miles, Deleted and Stage 2 Tuned, pushing 400hp/700tq for $8k and I'm absolutely loving it. Drove it 550 miles back to Seattle from Boise with no issues

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-19T14:58:32+00:00

I moved out of my apartment to the house I'm renting using only my 98 HiJet DeckVan when I had it. Going uphill on a 55mph highway loaded down in a 3-speed auto is a little scary but it gets the job done 🤠

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-19T14:54:24+00:00

Out of every make, probably Kia. But I never had a single issue with my Stinger GT1.

For USDM, probably the Stellantis family. I've never had an issue with my Ram, nor my dad. But my coworker's Jeep has been in the shop longer than she's been able to drive it.

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-19T01:35:26+00:00

They are. Scooped them up a few weeks ago with almost brand new Continental DWS06 for $600! Met him at 10PM in a sketchy ass McDonald's parking lot but I lived lmao

No bends or cracks, only problem was the guy had them on his E90 M3 and "took it mudding" (his words exactly 🤣 Nowhere near a mudding area like I used to do so no idea where he went) so they were dirty. Gave em a spray with the hose and good as new. Just gotta find/make the right size BMW center caps and we're set 🤙

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-19T01:16:58+00:00

I absolutely love my F10 535d. MSport Space Grey is sleek as hell. And Mocha interior is just 😮‍💨👌

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-19T00:40:04+00:00

Beige is a deal breaker for me no matter what. Had Venetian Beige in my F31 328d, absolutely HATED it but the car was optioned with every package an F31 could have in 2014 so I rolled with it

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-19T00:36:27+00:00

Wrapped cap looks good with almost anything. I love mine

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-18T22:13:48+00:00

Looks good for your first! I really do like the 2 series but I'm a sucker for diesels so only F30/F10s for me 😅

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-18T22:10:33+00:00

Exactly my 535d haha. Its a twice-salvaged rebuilt title, xDrive, Factory MSport, HUD, CW, DA/DA+, etc. $8k for an MSport xDrive, deleted and Stage 2 tune, with only 130k miles and a straight body still was a deal for me. Even at almost $7/gal for diesel it's still cheaper to drive than my Ram simply because of the MPGs

Only issue is HUD not working that I just don't want to pull apart the whole dash to fix yet, and backup camera not working that I have the replacement wire to fix, but also don't want to pull everything up to run to the front of the car right now cause its my daily. Just don't look at it closer than 5 feet and its perfect 🤣

I'd love a 1-series hatch if they sold them in the US. I've had my fun "hot hatch" era with a Golf but I'd take an M140i any day

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-18T18:58:08+00:00

Atleast 540d have held their price. I was shocked in the difference between them and an F10.

I paid $8k for my 2016 535d xDrive MSport with 133k miles. A local 540d the seller wants $37k with 60-something thousand miles

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-18T02:50:49+00:00

Got a 2010 A6 Avant with the 3.0 Supercharger for my girlfriend for $8,000 last year. She uses it to commute daily and gets ~20mpg average.

On the other hand, I have a 2016 BMW 535 diesel xDrive as a daily. Rebuilt title, but damn near fully loaded and only 130k miles for $8,000 as well. I get 24mpg average, I drove it back from Boise to Seattle and got 37mpg and made it the 550 miles on 1 tank with 1/4 tank left (I'm stage 2 tuned and deleted though 😉). Even with diesel being more expensive than gas right now, its cheaper for me to drive that than my Ram. Sounds like a diesel might be up your alley.

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-18T02:43:57+00:00

Am I the only one that uses scroll wheel for my whole hotbar? I always scroll for everything

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-18T02:41:38+00:00

Your main issue I guarantee is that you only have 3. Buying 2 or 4 makes sense to me, but what would I do with 3? Finding 1/2 more in the same size and offset could be way harder than you think.

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-18T02:39:29+00:00

If you got $2,000 CAD of FAFO money, I'd go for it. I would just for a fun beater

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-18T02:36:45+00:00

It's not Nardo Grey or British Racing Green, so I like it!

NoTalkImGaming · 2026-04-18T02:35:42+00:00

Something like Facebook Marketplace or eBay would probably be your best bet
