advice needed on buying 95 325ic 5spd with 155K miles
I've never owned a BMW before and do not know what I should be looking for
with so many miles on the car. I have not looked at the car yet, however want to be prepared for when I do. Is there any major service work that should have already been done prior to this many miles or needed soon i.e. valve job, new clutch, wiring, injectors, etc? Thanks |

Older 93's weren't built too well, 95s are fine. The rear subframe bushings may need doing by now. Parts are cheap and a good independant mechanic will have the right tool to fit them. By 155k if it's on the original shcoks think about new ones. For a convertible with normal suspension I'd use Boge turbo gas. If it's got no history be sure to change ALL the fluids (diff, gearbox, power steering, coolant, etc.). -- Who needs a life when you've got Unix? :-) Email: , John G.Burns B.Eng, Bonny Scotland Web : http://www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk - The Ultimate BMW Homepage!
