Isn't the time to ask that question, before you buy not after?

The 3k civic is a meme, but you would've been better off with a japanese car that has turned into a shitbox than a german car that has turned into a shitbox. And you're about to find out why.
Sure, you'll need a set of good torx bits, and then take it to a bmw dealer mechanic because BMW doesn't release information on how to fix to independent dealers. enjoy being cucked.

The Germans want you to go to the dealer for everything. I wonder, is there any aftermarket at all for BMWs or do you have to go to the dealer parts department for everything?

bushings, expansion tank, fluid change

Make sure you got a thick wallet.

Why would you buy a slow car with high mileage and infamous maintenance costs??

Make sure the engine starts and get a 330i
