Hasn’t driven it in the winter. He has had the valve cover gasket replaced, oil pan gasket replaced, replaced all the plugs and has changed oil every 5k miles. I have him down to 6k on this car. Would this be one you would buy or would you stay away with it having 160k on it? It is a very beautiful car

the oil change interval is very good
but with a such mileage you have to check if all recalls are done, because vanos bolts should be done, PCV heater (last well known recall)
and after that you have probably be ready to replace water pump, head cover, that all will cost around 2k at dealer
also xdrive can take its own maintenance, and if you location have no winter, i've tried to avoid car with xdrive with a significant mileage
