i couldn’t keep up with my 83k mile 2002 540i/6 either...

I have a 2001 528it with the Automatic, Bought it for 2K with a thick stack of receipts and it needed a Throttle Body. Complete Cooling system replacement at 100K, shocks, bushings etd had all been done before I bought it.

For $10k, I would personally expect it to be a little closer to complete than it is. It’s more than a little rough around some of the edges. Probably would be a fun car to have, but I’m not paying 100% of the price for an 80% complete vehicle.
