Is this a wise choice?

Im in the market for a E55, and i have found one that is due to sell at a auction, ( My uncle is a dealer)...


The car is a 2003 E55 with 53k miles on it, should i be worried about the car? are they reliable? My other choice is a 2007 335, but that just a little bit pass my budget..


Any advice would be appreciated

How well equiped is it?

There are only a few specific problems that these cars have, and most are easy to deal with if you know your way around tools, but you may want to budget ahead for an intercooler pump and a tune up.

The cars are actually very reliable, but to be safe, make sure you get some kind of after-market warranty because maintenance/repairs can get very costly without warranty.
