Hey guys, question concerning my 525i

[sirius_GTO]

Well guys, I have a 95' 525i and it has 217K highway miles on it. I bought it from an original owner that did all maintanence on it. My question is, how long is this engine going to last? Right now it purrs like a cat, it makes NO noise whatsoever. I could swear that I was driving a brand new car.

I bought it for 3K. The only bad thing is the cosmetic is a little bad. No dents. just paint chip marks.

I just wanted to know how long this car was going to last because I know I got a good deal from it, and was wondering if its worth putting a paint job, new wheels, upgrade suspension, eyes, and new front bumper...

all in all, it will probably cost me 3K to do all of this.

Thanks a lot guys, much appreciated.

I bought mine with 218,000 miles on it. It has 229,500 now and it's running better that ever. I'm hoping for at least 300,000 or more. Just keep up the maintenance.
