I have my 2010 550i GT for more than 5 years now and I love it, Power and Luxury combined together.

The movement of the headlights work better while driving. I believe they are speed dependent. On my X5 I can see them move dramatically depending on the steering angle.

this car is insane, i'm gonan test drive it this friday. it's the 2014 model. so stoked

incredibly helpful. Im in the market for used 2011/2012. Found a few in CA. Any advice on what to look for ? i've heard to ask about rear suspension? Again thanks for posting..great content and well explained.

@StatementPlus

2 жыл бұрын

For the rear suspension what people are talking about will be the air bags. There are air bags at the back to self level the car when you have a lot of luggage in the back (i know, luxurious right?) They can tend to leak causing the rear to sag after the car is turned off. When you turn the car on again they pump up but this burns the pump out, so the air bags need replacement but they are 1. cheap and 2. very easy to replace. If you're in CA, then that helps a lot as you don't need to look for rust. There isn't much else to look for except the usual N55 engine stuff you may want to research on. Good luck and thanks for watching!

The car has never seen snow, never been smoked in, and I've never had anyone in the rear seat.
