I have been watching the market for a while and all of a sudden we are getting a few cars under $60k. Not just the high milers as expected with around 100k kms, but now cars with around 30k kms. It is like wow that was quick!!

Even I was surprised to see that white low km 1M so cheap. Anyone on the forum snap it up? Great buy if nothing sinister under the skin.

Make sure he gets a full inspection and get a car history check done
Ask him why he sold it so cheap he could have easily asked for another 10k and got it with those kms |

All checked and ok. Full BMW service history with no issues. I think it was priced according to Redbook.

If it all checks out, he stole it at that price
As 2011 1m are valued at 60k with 50k on the clock and he has half that so its worth at least another 10k |

First I think sub $50k 1M on carsales. A price reduction high km's but one owner. Do you think prices are going to get lower or only the well used ones?

Really depends on the history of the car and how it was driven
High km means nothing because it could be all hey but be prepared to spend a small fortune on replacing stuff Again depends how it was driven |

Lol no the n54 in stock form will last a long time when you do just the routine maintenance maybe the occasional fuel and water pump but at a 100k it will need a valve adjustment and for safety sake possibly a timing chain tensioner
Routine pulley bearings, belts and bushes are going to be changed around this time too Lots of things are going to be needed in the near future like possible injectors so high km cars have their drawbacks too High maintanence Last edited by martymil; 12-12-2016 at 11:11 PM.. |

I have lots of experience on these cars and have broken enough parts and seen them break on mates cars
Enough too know that high km n54 are only good for one thing to turn into race cars as your rebuilding everything anyway or be prepared to spend loads of money What I mean by bearings is Wheel bearings Pulley bearings on the engine belts Not engine bearings Valve adjustment is not mandatory but advisable Seen engines break from poorly adjusted clearances |
