*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted November 10, 2010 The best tip / advice I can give you is : Get a prepurchase inspection done by a Dealer or a BMW Independent Specialist.... no one else Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tristan 338 Report post Posted November 11, 2010 Definitely get an inspection performed by a BMW dealer or specialist as they know what faults to look for in each model etc. as per Glenn's post. Also, from experience with E46 I'd be checking to make sure the windows all roll up and down right the way. And make sure the cupholders (if any) are functioning. (Not sure if in any E46 models they are the spring loaded ones that eject from the dash) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
