I've got a 2002 525i loaded with 102k miles. Drives smooth and strong! Never had any maintenance issues, ... ANY!. I have absolutely NO plans to ever sell the car! One day it'll be a classic so I'm going keep it until it earns "antique" license plates. I bought it when it came in off of lease @ 66k miles. Mint condition (no paint chips, dings, food, smokers, animals, etc.) I'll upload photos of the car if I can discover how to do in this forum.
