Purchased first BMW, for the chick.
1998 BMW 318ti M-Sport
86,000KM on the clock
10 years of service records. Purchased from a lady who used it as a a shopping car who purchased it NZ new at 24,000KM.
Aware of all the cooling issues, so we'll definitely be keeping an eye on that. She was going to get a Corolla, but hates the numb feeling they produce when driving. She calls it "a driving simulator" as she feels detached from the car. She said this is a dream to drive, nice and tight on the road. Dealer level diagnostic scan came up clean and had a fresh WOF end of last week. Paint is in excellent condition!
Purchased it for $2,600 so she's pretty happy. I've already taken the time to sign up to all the appropriate forums. Any advice for new 3 series owners would be appreciated. What I do want to find, is a dealer that will be able to use the VIN and pull all the records I don't have and add them in. Records from BMW from when it was still under warranty in the 90's. I've heard that can be done, but not 100% sure.
