This might look like a necropost I think he would be awesome . Already has that goofy and aloof character . He would only need to beef up for the role . <| sep |> That ' s why you should make them come to your place first . <| sep |> Ya mate nothing but me jocks <| sep |> There clearly is a big difference between e 36 s in the US and in EU then . Toast at 150 K miles ? That is 240 K KM , my e 36 325 i has 280 K KM and is still going strong . I bought it for 700 euro in Germany . I drove my previous 316 i bought for 1600 euro to 240 K KM , was also still running perfectly fine . Both cars were previously owned by people who maintained them well , and that ' s not just because I ' m lucky . From what I hear , people in the US really do trash their cars , but that ' s not the case here , well most of the time it isn ' t . And if they were , it ' s really not that hard to tell . None of my cars have big issues , hell not even minor issues . Other than basic stuff ofcourse . These cars are so cheap that it ' s not even worth buying one that has problems . That I agree with you . Where I live you can get an M 3 in perfect condition with 80 K on the clock for $ 20 k , paying that kinda money for a nonm is a huge waste . Hell I don ' t even think there is one for sale for 20 k ! Obviously you don ' t get a good deal if you pay $ 5 K for an e 36 , when they ' re worth less than half of that . For $ 5 K you can buy e 36 s with around 100 k km that ' s 60 k miles . Ok when we ' re talking about an extremely good 328 i from like 1999 , they tend to go for little over $ 5 K , other than that , almost never . Then again , I really do think prices differ compared to the US . Unless you ' re talking about M 3 s , I cannot really get my head around paying more than 5 K for an e 36 . Also note that 316 i , 318 i , 320 i are dirt cheap here . Which I believe aren ' t even that common in the US ? 325 and 328 tend to go for more . And we don ' t even have a 328 is atleast never saw one .
