Other than that, good deal

Re: I bought a BMW, made a video
When you look...Go for the 2.5 M50tu motor, came in the 325i/is and 525i. They are well known for going upwards of 400,000miles without anything but regular maintenance.
With that said, most problems are going to be electrical and other things the work happy Germans over-engineered.

Yah, I remember going over a 92 325i convertable with 100K on it, car was 6-7 years old at the time. Owner was looking to fix all the small ---- before selling it, ran up a $1K bill replacing power antenna masts and silly ----. The only thing that's ouch-y about them is having to step to the dealer for brake pads because everything else didn't have the wear sensor and/or squealled like hell. See also: Mercedes.
I didn't know for sure, but kind of assumed, than the 325i and 525i were the same engine. I drove one (1) 525i automagic, and it was slow as *****. I see why Yuriney bought one with M5 badges.

Re: I bought a BMW, made a video
get an e34 not an e36... the e36's are the cheapo versions of EVERYTHING the e34 barely wieghs more, has a lot better suspension, more room for fatty tire, feels a lot less cheap on the road, has more engine bay space, and fewer
