Experience I have been an ASE Master Mechanic for 25 years.I have worked in many dealearships although BMW's are my favorite.I now have my own shop,specializing in BMW's.I have autocrossed and even gotten into mud running with my 4x4.(I am NOT a teacher and don't claim to know everything about the cars I never see.I hope to help you with your repairs and do expect some knowledge on your side.)
Question I'm considering buying this car with 160000 miles.
Generally speaking, what common repairs/costs would I be looking at?
thanks
Answer That is a hard question to answer not knowing how the previous owner has taken care of the car.If the regular maintenance has been done all shouldn't be that bad,it is still a fairly low mileage car.But with that in mind it may have also been lack of maintenance because the mileage is so low and it wasn't driven.So if you had previous records it would be good.But in general I would think about it ,I love "7" series cars.If you need to check on parts call Bavarian Autosports 1-800-535-2002
