sascha 17 Report post Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) Visit My Website Anyone know this car? Very cheap for an e46 328i manual, but high kms and no service history. Im considering driving down to have a look, but wanted to know what people think first. Looks pretty tidy for kms, but would definately need to have it checked out fully cause of the lack of service history. Anything too look out for in particular? I know the e36's have issues with cooling systems, is that the same with the e46's? Any help appreciated/ advice Cheers Edit: Is it possible to take the rego number to a BMW dealer and see if they have any service history for it?

E36ShoppingTrolley 7 Report post Posted August 30, 2010 no service history and kms as high as that, could be looking at expensive repairs... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted August 31, 2010 Would you like some fries with that High km's burger? Highest I've seen - would have to get it checked out surely. Is that cheap? I couldn't spend that on a car with that mileage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sascha 17 Report post Posted August 31, 2010 Would you like some fries with that High km's burger? Haha I dont know, It's not much more than an e36 328i of that mileage i would have thought.. But yeah it seems cheap as in comparison with lower km e46's (obviously), just gotta think about if its worth it, bearing in mind that repairs due to missed out maintenance could be real costly. Any ideas on what its worth? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. M 10 Report post Posted August 31, 2010 Agreed, I would stay well away from that many k's. But since its had three unique bidders and current bid is $5650 I guess the market has spoken... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant 4 Report post Posted August 31, 2010 I would agree with those who say get it checked out thoroughly by an expert (aka Glenn or Ray). If it indeed checked out OK, I would have no issue buying it at that price. High KM's are of little relevance nowadays if a car has been well maintained. When I first arrived here, I drove one of my parents-in-laws SAABs, this one had 380,000 miles on it and drove like a dream. It has been maintained from new by my father-in-law (a SAAB master tech). I guess my point is, that a good well maintained car will go for ever (figuratively). Chances are if it has been a rep's vehicle it would have been properly maintained.
