Super cool Wagon for sale: BMW 530Xi Touring -06, Black with tan leather.

This is a quite wonderful premium car. It is in excellent mechanical condition and a joy to ride in, both as a driver in the front or a passenger in the back. 

BMW E61 2006. 111 000miles. All service has been done according owners manual. Good tires and brakes. 

AWD, 6 speed automatic, panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated seats (no more sweaty balls in the summer), Bi-Xenon adaptive headlights (turns with the steering wheel). 

This is a Wagon, a family car, and it has been used as such. By that, I mean that is has been in a few fights on publix parking lot. She has 2 dings on the drivers side and a few scraps and scratchs. The bumpers are suffering from some cleacoat being burnt (see pics). On the other hand: It has never been drifted while leaning on the revlimiter. If there has been vomit in the back seat, it's because little Billy had too much cake, not because Peggy-Sue had too much wine. 

GRM Price: $5500.Located in Charlotte, NC.

Let me talk to the wife, that is just rough enough for me to not care if she finishes it off.  Also nice enough for me to feel good about her driving it.

Has it ever had a coolant system service?

In reply to akylekoz :

She got a new water pump and coolant flush about 2 years ago. I also replaced the crankcase breather system (You are welcome!) about 6 months ago.

This has been the Mrs daily driver (aka "The Mothership") and we have driven it far on weekend or vacation trips. Far from new, but still a very nice and safe car to drive and ride in.

Thanks,

I'm a little scared of the adaptive steering, two people that I know had to replace theirs at a cost of more than your ask for this car.

On the other hand I love BMWs.

i'd rock that in a heartbeat if i needed it.  N52 is a great engine.   I heart my (now my daughter's) 2007 525xi.   i bought it at 136k and it's now at 206k.  Change the ATF and filter (which is molded integral to the pan, so $125 instead of $25), of course the oil filter housing seal leaks every 24k miles, but those are the only real weak links.  Oh, and wiring harness from roof to hatch, they fatigue fail from bending as the hatch is opened and closed.  and there's something weird about the keyless antenna on the wagons that the sedans don't suffer from.

There are many things in life to be scared of: Loss of a loved one, health issues or perhaps the potential risk of a nuclear holocaust. But I don't think a BMW steering system should be in that list (YMMV). If your concern is strictly the offset between a potential repair bill and the price of the car, I'd be happy to charge a bit extra for it. yeswink

that is a great price for that car.  more power and more utility than my 525xi, which is still a great car at twice the mileage of this one.  somebody needs to step up.

Bump.

Looking to sell. If some friendly bastard would show up and wave $5000 around, they would leave with a really sweet wagon...
