My father is looking at picking up a 2000 E55 with about 75k on it. What kind of problems do you all see out of these cars at 100k+ and what are some of the things he should keep an eye out for when he goes to look at it?

Thanks

 

Mass Air sensor has gone bad at 68K mi, another shortly after warranteed by shop. Headliner rattled over ever bump till I figured how to quiet that one down. Car seems solid, and I'm hopeful it will give me years of trouble free service.

 

Thanks for the info. How much do those mass air sensors cost?

 

I was expecting to see 2000 questions on the E55 but you only asked one!!!

jk

 

 

I think it was $379 for the part and some more for the labor. Close to $500.00 when it was done (included charging th A/C). I was not pleased either, as this was within the frist 150 miles I had the car, and the "extended warranty" didn't cover it.

 

He bought one today, a 2000 with 49,515 miles on it. It should be here sometime next week. The first thing he is going to do to it is get a clear bra for it. We also have to mount the front plate , I think it is really going to take away from the looks of the front end, but it has to be done.
