I am looking at a 328i, 5-speed with 116k on the clock. I am really skeptical about buying the car because it was bought at auction from one of those small private dealerships. I have heard horror stories and good fortune stories about these kinds of places...
The car is a 2 owner car and they do NOT have service records or any history about the car. They said they fixed the sunroof because it didn't work, but everything was 'perfect.'
I am wondering what are the primary big money items I should keep an eye out for when I go? I assume the following: look for leaks, check fluid colors/levels, listen for ticking, listen for thunkping when turning wheel side to side.. anything else?
