Hi Dave,
I'm looking to buy a BMW and I have recently looked at one that I'm really interested in- it's a 2011 328i with 92K miles. First of all, I'm hesitant to buy a used BMW because I don't know if it is a good idea to buy something with that many miles. Secondly, what are some of the common problems and future costs I should keep in mind before I buy this vehicle? Are there any major maintenance/ replacements that I would have to pay for a car with 92k miles? Are there any common problems that I should be aware of?
thank you!
My car has 92000 miles.
