| I bought an '84 318i back in '91 with about 58k on the clock. I got rid of it in 2000 with 185k on the clock. At one point it needed brake work equal to what my girlfriend at the time had to do to her Honda Civic - mine was cheaper. All in all it was a great car, but I did find a great mechanic who specialized in MB and BMW vehicles. He gave me great service at a great price and kept that little baby just humming.
If the car you're looking at has been very well maintained, and that's often easier to find with BMW owners than owners of "lesser" cars (I say that very tongue in cheek), then you'll most likely be getting a good ride. |
