lowrev 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Hi all, yesterday I was at the car yard and saw this black 2001 318i M-sport which was gorgeous to say the least, I wasn't looking to buy a bimmer at this time but seeing this machine have changed my mind, now my question ... is it worth buying it for around $15k? It has 123,010 k's on it. What should I look for when inspecting the vehicle or what should I ask the sales guy? Your inputs are much appreciated and needed as this would be my car for VERY long time. Edited November 10, 2009 by lowrev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
briancol 3 Report post Posted November 10, 2009 Hi lowrev, What part of this fair nation do you live in and what is the name of the dealer? Reason I ask is because I am a dealer in Auckland and providing I know this dealer, I could save you a few hundred on the purchase of this car. PM me if I can be of any help. Cheers Brian.

lowrev 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2009 Ok guys just a quick update, I'm currently in a position where I can purchase the car but I'm having second thoughts. What should I observe and inspect when I get to test drive the bimmer? Your inputs are very much welcome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would suggest if you dont pick up on anything yourself, you should get it checked out professionaly by a dealer or an Independent BMW specialist before handing over any money Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Simon* Report post Posted November 11, 2009 ^^what Glenn said Incidentally, are you paying a good price for this? 15K is on the high side in my opinion for a 318. Assuming it is auto too as you haven't stated otherwise. This appears to be better buying E46 323Ci manual Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
