If you have to ask, stay away from it. BMW is a rich man's car.

Typically BMWs start falling apart around 100,000 miles. Oil leaks, front end problems, and cooling system problems are common. Check out carcomplaints.com and see what others who own them are saying. You can check on any recalls that might affect your BMW as well. Hope that helps! Jim
