What to do

[39KiwiTouring 2]

Your list is realitively minor & really I doubt the 3k fix.

^^This, keep shopping around in fact take it to a BMW dealer and get a full comprehensive list, then have fun shopping around you could recomission that car for $1500 with wof and 6 months reg. I know I have the same car with a list a little longer, thats been sitting 2.5 years and a wagon with air bags in the rear.

Surprisingly tidy, reasonable KM and as everyone else has said, it looks like it would be worth fixing.

This is a good DIY guide for doing the adjusters, much easier on the pre-facelift lights. http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showt...Adjuster-Repair
