Not sure if it is a common problem but it sounded like a fan belt ticking..anyway the sound usually disappears after its warmed up. However dunno what's the future implication but just take note and always be the first to start the engine when you are viewing.
Anyway if you take care of your ride and send for regular servicing, think the car an run well even after at high mileage. Hope this helps..

Anyone can verify?

Will be getting my e60 pre LCI 525 this Thursday, will be sending to workshop to do all checks.
Anything to look out for or change for a 72k mileage ride? ( assuming 72k mileage is correct as there are no doc to backup, car diagnostics can verify right? )
According to Rod, there is a way to check whether the mileage is correct or not. Maybe u can check with him (under R2D or better still call him/nadia).yeshe;876485 said:Bros,

nothingman;874842 said:i felt tat my RPM moves a little causing slight vibration of the car during idling. Any e60 bros faced this problem before. the vibration may just a little but it can be kind irritating.
