re: OT mechanics: Thoughts on a BMW 325i 2006 with 160000 miles

Got my daughter a 2006 with 145 k miles on it two years ago. Have put out less than $500.00 for minor repairs since. As long as it has been reasonably well maintained, that's a decent price for a fun little car. Also, not sure where you are but you can easily find an indie BMW repair shop that can do work for half of what a dealership would charge you.
