suspenceful Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 15 hours ago, AsparagusMike said: Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't these cars come with a limp mode feature to possibly avoid damaging components on the engine such as the head-gasket? Yes, but it can only do so much. If the water pump stops working or the car has been continuously driven while overheating, there's always a chance of catastrophic failure.

patsbimmer1 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 In person its an off white that I think they called oyster. Still highly stainable. I don't think i'd ever have the comittment to keep it pristine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks nice, but I would need to put black seats in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone bought it a few weeks ago for 3500 and is trying to flip it. The rust was fine for me only thing that kept me from buying it was the dent in the passenger door. The car isn't Boston green like it looks. Its actually Ferngreen.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motor and headgasket are fine (knock on wood). So far it needs an alternator, and potentially a water pump. P_Roloff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been in Illinois since 2010 with documentation. The car was sold to CarMax, then bought at auction by the guy who I picked it up from. He took a gamble and soon found out that he was in over his head. Like Jason said, it is a manufacturer buyback car (lemon law). I knew this before driving down there and it doesn't bother me. My friend who works at BMW looked up the VIN this morning and determined it was bought back for HPFP issues, which are very common in the early years of these cars. Cool that it's nothing serious. HPFP are well documented. A different friend of mine had a 2007 335i with a buyback title that he was still able to sell for $7k last year. It had way more miles, smoking turbos, and no packages. The one I just bought is nice, just needs a little work. The title isn't even stamped with any buyback crap. It's bone stock, and completely unmodified. Dealer records, original owners manuals, paperwork, etc. I got a steal @ $2,400. Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably flip it before I get too attached to it. I've been wanting another sedan. Only thing that bothers me is no heated seats... first world problems. Otherwise it's lower mileage than my daily 335i and has paddle shifters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_love_cars Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Look what just resurfaced after BaT: https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=420950 Looks like the BaT buyer was in over his head and couldn't muster $26k cash for this car (shhhhhocker). I really wanted to buy this car. It still just seems like way too much money for what it actually is, despite being really clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
