high milage is it a problem for a 530d

[tomcole20]

Im buying my step dads 2000 bmw 530d

its done 133k motorway miles, and got full history,

is this is problem or is it good for a fair few miles yet

[Beyond Rational]

At 16:19 on Sunday, it had done 134k, so I think it's been clocked.

HTH

Theres a thread in GG about this aswell - similar mileage car too I think?

Same car, he's just posted it everywhere in the world. Except the cross-stitch forum.

[RobJShe]

I was hoping he might register before you did!

[tomcole20]

My uncle's 2000/W 530d has 160k on it now and it's still going strong.

test drove a hard driven mini cabbed 2002 530d with 257k on the clock. ran well but think the box was starting to go. engine seemed fine

A mate of mine has a 2003 530d with 210k on it, you'd never know it, drives perfectly.

Mine has 191K - 2002 touring, bit of a clonk from diff when setting off, everything else is fine, no intention of changing yet. The engine and transmission is battleship grade looks like it will go on and on and on

dont tempt fate on that transmission the seem to have a tendancy to just go bang

Is it a clonk or more like a 'chink' from under the car?
