>buying a shitbox from a dealer
Shiggy diggy. You only want to buy a BMW new or from an adult owner that took great care of it and has a folder full of maintenance records.

>>16459615
Find me one with under 100k miles and in this good condition then, cause I couldn't.

>>16459629
It does look pretty clean and there are few 330s in dallas/austin/Houston. Carfax says mileage inconsistency.

There is this one though. It's a 9k car and it's been listed a month.

It's also double the price of the car I'm looking at...? My budget is about 7k mate.

>>16459729
Budget of 7k? You can't afford a used BMW.

>buying a used BMW and expecting them to be reliable

>>16459764
Yeah, I can.
>budget
money set aside for a specific thing, in this case, 7k.
You know what that doesn't imply in the least? It doesn't imply I'm an 18 year old poorfaggot like you, and it implies I have 7k to spend on a car, not I have 7k to my name.

I'm not driving 100 miles to Weirdsville to buy a 2.5L BMW.

Speak for yourself. I just bought a 2005 BMW 530i in great condition for $5900.

instant red flag: it has the old pre facelift hood installed for some reason (hence the gaps all around it)
Avoid

look at that front end
mismatched paint and disgusting gaps everywhere

>>16460199
And the front bumper is cracked. This thing was 1k tops at auction.

>>16460175
Did you just pick up on that instantly?

>>16459491
That has been wrecked, odometer rolled back, and i haggard af with the wrong hood.

Come on dude.

>>16459491
BMWs arent reliable but the e46 is a very fun car to drive, and theres lot of aftermarket, go for it

>>16460376
it's an easy thing to pick up on

Huge redflags:

It has the wrong hood on it, the reason it has huge gaps around the headlights. (This car is a facelift model with a pre-facelift hood.) pic related is how the facelift hood should look like (notice the grill). This thing was probably in a crash or something. Also the engine service light is on and the EML light, which means there is a malfunction in the electronic engine management system
