Hello, I plan to buy a BMW 5 in the near future, it should cost up to about 12,500€, i.e. it will probably be Bj. 96/97 (but anyway the new – so with clear glass light throw). I have quite specific ideas about the equipment, but not about the motorization, but it is supposed to be a gasoline. As far as I know there are the 520, 523, 525??, 528 and 530, where the 523 would be the most suitable for insurance & taxes. My question is actually: Do they have the right to buy a BMW 5 in the near future? different engines any known susceptibility/muggles? What should I pay special attention to when buying BMW (which should not be attached to the engine should be clear). I am also interested in how the BMW spare parts prices are for the 5s. I would probably repair damage myself, because I also restore cars anyway, so it is only about spare parts prices. What costs, for example, water pump, ZK-sealing kit, headlights (the complete headlight), wheel bearing? Are there for the n 5er a spare part “scene” – for example for bumpers? If so, what are the prices? Oh another question: Does BMW actually use quite classic timing belts or do they have a different concept? That’s a lot at once now, sorry
