Kiwi_BMW 89 Report post Posted March 25, 2022 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 2010 BMW 550i Motorsport | Trade Me Motors Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 1943 Report post Posted March 25, 2022 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle 1515 Report post Posted March 25, 2022 In my experience that's due to more 550's around compared to other V8's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twistee 405 Report post Posted March 27, 2022 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 😏) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
