Just Bought my first BMW

[euro325is]

Well..After driving up to long Island to look at a car I saw on the net I TOTALLY hated it. The dealer felt so bad he directed me to his wholesaler. At this warehouse they had a 1993 325is with only 60,000 miles on the clock in perfect condition. Needless to say I bought it and I am picking it up next saturday after they paint the ugly gray, give it a good tune-up, detail and fix some minor things.

What was wrong with it?

And how was the drive up?

you drove up from baltimore to buy a 325?
i didnt think they were that rare that you had to travel that far

He never said he drove up to LOOK at a 325, just that he ended UP buying a 325.

But good luck with the car. I hoe you dont' have problems with it. I have not heard good things about the '92-mid'94 325i/is cars. Hopefully yours is an exception to the rule!

The drive up was good..The way back i took the verizzano and goethals bridge which seemed to be quicker after i got off the long island parking lot.

As for the car. The salesman totally lied his ass off describing the car. There were 2 cracks on the rear bumper, a busted windshield, a big dent in the front spoiler, paint chips, one fog light, the seats were destroyed, it was just ugly.

As for the car I am buying, the guy who I purchasing it from is a wholesaler who used to be a mastertech for bmw. The guy requested that I allow him to tune it up so it runs perfect when I pick it up so I said why not. The car ran very strong, then again it is a 93 with only 60,000 miles.
