E36_Turbo 84 Report post Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Nice example, mileage is creeping up there, appears to be fairly tidy overall, these tourings are such nice cars, testament to the correct way to make a car last a long long time. Anyone on here own this? Sometimes i feel almost tempted to part with my E46 and cruise a daily E36 again....but E46's are just as fun IMO. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1529197169.htm?rsqid=3c4017fac8404a04b7325901a58bbaee Edited January 26, 2018 by E36_Turbo Edit 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle 1662 Report post Posted January 26, 2018 High k's on an engine is no problem as people generally keep up with oil servicing with BMW's but the ad doesn't give me any confidence that things like suspension etc aren't worn in your typical BMW fashion Where the interiors photos at? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtydoogle 383 Report post Posted January 26, 2018 I like. But it'd most likely be very worn out unless it's had proper money spent underneath 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E36_Turbo 84 Report post Posted January 26, 2018 Agreed, there's not a lot to go by, in regards to detailed info on the vehicle maintenance history. Either they're neat cars, but at that mileage i still wouldn't commit to such a thing. On a side note i did own a 323i manual e36 with 370km's on it, and it went very well, despite usual wear and tear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted January 26, 2018 don't judge a car just on the km number I have had many cars through here with high ks that have had more new parts throw at them than a 150km car 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtydoogle 383 Report post Posted January 27, 2018 They will run those miles with minimal maintenance, just oil and cooling stem stuff. Buthe it would be due for its third complete set of bushes etc I'm not worried about kms on vehicles, most of mine are what people consider high, buy on condition. My old man has a Corolla with over 800km on it with minimal maintenance and never had a mechanical failure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
