540i as a high mileage long distance highway cruiser?
I just relocated to North California but drive to Southern California about twice a month. I calculated that this is about 20,000 miles a year just in driving to and from Southern California. I have a 2018 M550i and a 1976 2002. Neither of which I wanna put an extra 20,000 miles a year on. So I am looking for a sub $10,000 card that I can put 20 to 25,000 miles a year on reliably and without too much expense. I am doing a lot of research on the E 39 BMW and it seems like this made me in the car. I have found a few 540s that may need an engine and I thought if I get them for the right price and rebuild the engine, I may end up with a very reliable car that I can put a lot of miles on. Any advice for a BMW guy that wants an E39 to rack up the miles?
