Hey a buddy of mine is selling his 2004 BMW 325i for $2700, and

>had everything fixed up
Elaborate.
water pump, alternator, battery, suspension items (LCAS, RTABS), fuel pump? What's been replaced and what hasn't, recently or ever?
None of this stuff is cheap and you're at about the right mileage for some of it to go out.

dont. save your money for a 330

>>17725630
Buy a civic instead

He replaced the transmission and brakes, along with some of the interior things like new motors for the windows.

This

Unless you dont care for the extra hp/torque

also check the cooling system as they like to take a shit.

AC blows cold, I just want to know about the reliability.

>>17725728
Engine cooling system not a/c.

>>17725728
>doesn't know cooling system means radiator and water pump and coolant
this car is not for you.

And with this comment, stay the fuck away from a nearly 20 year old BMW.

Your buddy is getting rid of it because the person at the shop told him its probably gonna be fucked soon and to get rid of it.

Yeah, I figured as much, I'm not into cars at all, I just wanted to know if $2700 might have been a good enough deal to take and worry about repairs later.

>>17725630
Buy a 330i, mine has 300k km on it, a blown headgasket, but it still drives good.

>>17725774
it's not. what's wrong with your current car?

>>17725779
Public transportation/bicycle.

>>17725774
If you want a cheap reliable car get a civic or accord, or some toyota.

Used BMWs can be ticking time bombs of maintenance issues, and you will pay big time if you don't know how to fix it yourself.

spend 2700 bucks on a civic instead.
