Decided to buy another 530i - BMW Forum

rashid · 03-09-2009, 04:43 AM

I have 530i, 2002 but start giving me more problems as it already passed 300,000 KM. For this reason, I decided to buy another & sell the existing one.

I am looking for 530i, 2002 or 2003, full options including Original stock TV, Nav. & distance Control sensors. It should be white with beige leather interior & Auto transmission. Millage: 150,000 Maximum.

Will appreciate your help & support.

540 / 530 i / iA or sport are all ok but should be white with beige leather interior & Auto transmission. Millage: 170,000 Maximum but with TV screen & Distance Control sensor!

Just curious, where are you located? Why no car(s) listed?

If you can find one, I will apprecita it.

I am located in Abu-Dhabi, in the gulf area, but can arrange some one to test the car & do the necessary arrangments / shipping if the car if acceptable.

there should be tons of fivers in Abu-Dhabi

People from Abu-Dhabi used to import from germany but now changed to USA. the size of population is much less here & therefore the options are also less comparing to us & germany.

Not very many BMs with the TV option here in teh US, especially any 5ers that I know of. I've only known of 7 series with it installed

Yes .. I have noticed this from the adds available. I've been searching for almost one month without any luck.

What about the OEM DCS?

rashid · 03-21-2009, 06:22 AM

Found one, 530-2003 with the Required color & options, 107MK.

Still I should make sure of the accedents & smooking smell ... befor I see it ...

Question:

Any differences between 530-2002 & 2003?

No significant changes in the U.S. models:

The 530i I found is not a good one ..

What if I change to 330 Xi (2004 or 2005), what differences I may feel comparing with my existing 530-2002?? Apart from the size …

Will appreciate your help
