Default Could be my next ride

I was looking on the internet to find my mom a car and found this thing. The car is like 150miles away from my house so me and andrey might drive there to check it out.

I think it is a pretty good deal on the car. I wanted a 95 to 98 M3 but that car costs a fortune 95 is around 15K dollars in good condition, but 325i will do just fine. The car only has 99K miles and when I called about the car older guy picked up so I am hoping he is a driver and the car wasn't abused much.

Aren't known for reliability? Please, mine has the same motor as that 325i and I have 235k miles on mine - still runing strong and burns no oil at all. With this mileage some problems I did have was rust and suspension. I can safely say that older BMWs are very reliable and will run well over 200k miles. Unless you get an auto. US spec BMWs get GM auto trannies which fail before car reaches 200k mark. And they are also fairly easy to work on. Vovka86 and me changed every front suspension component and it was pretty straight forward. The hardest thing I ever had to do was the exhaust, because it required some cutting and welding. My uncle helped me with that (same guy that painted my car)
