View 5 Series (G30) DirectoryBuying Tips for the BMW 5 Series (G30)
- ✓B48/B58 petrols are generally strong, but recurring coolant top-ups deserve investigation rather than a casual seller explanation
- ✓Make sure every ADAS function, parking camera, and radar-based aid works; bumper knocks can turn into expensive sensor alignment jobs
- ✓Check run-flat tyre wear carefully because inner-edge wear on heavy M Sport cars can arrive before owners notice it
- ✓If it is a diesel, still verify EGR recall status and DPF health even though the G30 is better than earlier BMWs overall
