F10 550i

Recommended Posts

I watched this F10 on TM and thought someone either got a bargain or a headache, given the 155km and the oil leak I would think the latter.

Anyway I see it's back up for sale on FB Strictly BMW NZ asking price is $14k down from $19.500k

I've been looking for a good F10.  Avoiding 550's like they are a plague rat though.  Every time I have seen an F10 with an issue it has been a 550.

In my experience that's due to more 550's around compared to other V8's

It's not the oil leak tou have ti worry about, it's the coolant hoses, valve stem seals, breathers etc

One of my no's is a light colored interior.
It has actually been quite difficult to find a good one.  Lots of poverty spec ones listed at the exact same price as higher spec'd ones (Trademe - What is everyone else listing theirs for...)
Lots around the 130km mark that have had zero maintenance.

Prices are starting to fall.  I will just sit and wait.

I spent a long time convincing myself that the 550 was solid with only minor issues, I really love the touring. Guessing the 535D version wouldn't cut it for you? I came really close to buying a one owner nz new one, they seem to be very underrated and undervalued.

Me too - still think I'd consider swapping mine for the right 550i. I think the LCI 550i with the N63TU would be worth a punt but I'm not brave enough to run the OG engine in the pre-facelift. N57 in the 530d/535d is a great engine though (not that I'm biased 😏)
