Buying Advice?

codym · 05-30-2011, 09:58 PM

Hello all,

My name is Cody and I have been a BMW fan for as long as I can remember. I was wondering if anyone could offer any buying advice on a 2005 BMW 325xi (92,500 mi).

I know the basics as far as asking for maintenance records, carfax, and speaking with the previous owner. I have searched and searched the forums, but feel more comfortable asking the question directly. I am a little unsure on some of the maintenance to be performed (i.e. shouldn't the cooling system be replaced between 70,000-100,000 miles?). If there is anywhere that has buying advice, feel free to direct me there!

Thanks in advance!

Cody

Thanks guys...I took it in to a local "independent" shop and it appears that the previous owner was a bit abusive!

Thanks for the help guys...I'm still looking for my future e46!
