2008 BMW e61 touring 520d 165k ...........would you?

[aston]

Unfortunately my E39 touring has died, sadly I have to replace and am considering an e61 facelift, I'd prefer a petrol but hard to find, reading the internet there's something negative stuff about this particular engine, however I find people more often than not only spread negative trouble and strife, another friend is telling me that the air suspension will break as will the i system, are these BMW's really that bad???? Thank you

Knowing near to nothing about BMWs I googled the model. Looks like there were a few recalls. That might put me off on its own. Though Parkers seem to like them https://www.parkers.co.uk/bmw/5-series/touring-2003/review/

Test drive a few and ask the seller some searching questions.

Good luck with the hunt
