E53 4.8is 2006 / 61000 miles
Discussion
Hi - i am looking for advice please.
I have owned a lovely E53 4.8is with low mileage for some years.
She is expensive to run (she is in today for MOT and 2 track rod arms and 2 front airbags on advisory that I will have replaced) - with poor fuel economy - but as i only drive about 400 miles per month these days that does not worry me. I have the figures to show she costs around 50p per mile driven in maintenance.
I had the chip sorted to get the full 400 bhp.
I imported a US coil spring replacement kit years ago when i had trouble with the air suspension, but never used it as i finally found a BMW specialist that diagnised the problem and fixed the relevant computer. That can go with the car.
What is she worth?? I am thinking around £ 8000 due to the low mileage. And is there still interest out there in such an old car?
I would appreciate any comments to help me decide on her future.
