Howzit guys,
I finally bought myself my first BMW (now ican join the club) she's a 318i 2004 model with 170 000km. I purchased the vehicle for R75 k (which I feel was pricey and was told that too) but nevertheless my wife really loved the car.
I believe it had the N42 engine and i was told it is a problematic engine. I just wanted to know if these cars are any good? From what i saw it looked really sexy, neat interior, neat engine, body is immaculate and service history is upto date. Before i purchased the vehicle, the gentleman had the armbushes replaced as well as the passenger window mechanism.
Is there anything that i should be wary of and is the mileage high for the year model?
any assistance or input will be much appreciated guys..thanks!!![Rollsmile]( "Rollsmile")
