Buying a used BMW i5? Have it inspected first

That's a common case, and exactly what the Digital Report Package is for. We inspect the BMW i5 on your behalf in Budapest and send a full report with photos and video in English, so you can decide remotely without travelling to see the car yourself. Plenty of our clients buy from another city or country and never go near the car until it's theirs.

Every BMW i5 ages a little differently, yet some trouble spots come up often enough that we treat them as standard checks. For the electric model, battery degradation, charge-rate behaviour and the high-voltage system are the headline checks, since together they set both the real-world range and the resale value. As an everyday electric car its wear shows in the suspension bushes, the tyres and the brakes, along with the urban knocks, kerbed wheels and parking scrapes that build up over the years. These premium German EVs carry a great deal of driver-assistance and comfort technology, so we confirm the cameras, sensors and convenience systems work, alongside reading the high-voltage battery's health. We would rather find these things now, with you, than have you discover them three weeks after the purchase - so we check every one and explain what we find in English.

Yes. We provide pre purchase mechanic Budapest across Budapest and its agglomeration, as a thorough car checking service of the BMW i5 carried out where the car is parked. There's no need to bring the car to us - the inspector travels to it. You get the same on-the-spot check and English report wherever in the city the seller is.

Yes - book an inspection for each. Plenty of buyers have us assess two shortlisted cars, including the BMW i5, before deciding which one to buy. Comparing two written reports side by side is often the clearest way to choose, because you are weighing documented condition rather than two sets of first impressions.

Often it matters most on cheaper cars, where a single major fault can equal a large share of what you're paying. For a BMW i5, an inspection that costs only a fraction of the car can save you from an expensive mistake, or hand you the evidence to negotiate. Put simply, the less you can afford an unexpected expense, the more the inspection is worth.

A typical on-site inspection of the BMW i5 takes around 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the car and how easy it is to access. Complex or high-spec cars can take a little longer, and we never rush the parts that matter. We would rather spend an extra ten minutes confirming a suspicion than hand you a report with a question mark in it.
