Hi All, A buddy is looking at picking up a 2001 325i. It's got about 155k on it and is being offered to him from a friend for $3000. Price seems really good compared to what I see in the Autotrader and for his purposes this is exaclty what he wants. Anything in particular to look for on this car? I don't see any tech bulletins that are concerning. One for a fuel level sensor and another for troubleshooting steering problems. Anything else we should look for when we go check it out?
Might be a good idea to check the rear subframe mount areas for metal tearing. http://www.turnermotorsport.com/t-gallery-e46-subframe.aspx
If its an auto make sure the tranny fluid has been changed at least twice by now. the cooling system should be updated if not already done. ie: expansion tank, thermostat and housing, water pump, fan clutch and check the radiator over.
