I want to buy a used 2012/13 F10 5 series, they are cheap, an average of 20k and some as low as 17k(high milage ones)
Are they reliable? Would hey have to go into the shop for repairs alot? My current car is 13 years old and breaks down once a month

Be sure you have roadside assistance. Kek
If you want a car that retains some driver feel and isn't a pigfat mess, take a step back and look at post-facelift E90s.

They are cheap for a reason.
What is your current car?
>>15461974
2003 Chevy Malibu

These BMWs will break down once a month after a few years as well.
>>15461956
Why? They aren't engaging to drive anymore. They don't have a dipstick. They're pigfat with too many driver aids. The last good 5-series was the e39.

I'm not a boyracer, I just want a sedan that handles well
>>15462134
it's not even too heavy for its size
it handles pretty good
you can turn off all the driver aids (unlike other luxury car brands)
Go to r/BMW
Better than this circle jerk of broke niggas

Purchase a BMW through carmax and purchase the maxcare warranty.
German here, it's almost always a bad idea, especially that series is notorious for being crap
I saw a 330d broken down at a motorway service just the other day

So why not get a e39?
>>15462493
Because I don't want an e39, I want an f10
E39 is old and ugly imo

>E39 is old and ugly imo
So is the F10.
Latest model or bust.
>buying antique BMWs
>ever
>>15462527
F10 is the latest model
>>15462134
Word. And seriously don't buy a BMW unless it's an M car. Just don't do it.

Are you that autist with the E46 who lost his shit and made a thread on that subject
>>15461956
why don't you buy a LS460. it has a nicer interior, better engine, is bigger, more reliable, etc.
>>15462230
If you want a 5 series, look at a 2010 535.
If a 3 series will do, look at the 2011 335D.
Or go full retard and pick up an F01 740...
>>15462519
Get out you filthy casual. Shut up and buy a camry faggot. You're obviously not an enthusiast.
>>15462630
I'm not
>>15462561
Not everyone is a boyracer
>>15462582
Lexus is unreliable
>>15463345
Hahaha. Opposite of truth troll strikes again!
>>15463345
do you have donkey brains?
>>15462493
What's the difference between the numbers on various models of BMW's? Is that just a difference in packages for luxury or performance and the like? And how do I identify when a car is an E39? Is it merely any 5-series produced between 96 and 03?

E39, e38, e46, f10, etc... Is the chassis code. 3xx, 5xx indicates the engine. It used to mean displacement but now it's arbitrary.
