Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- Listen for a metallic rattle after a cold start. A BMW-capable scanner reads codes P0008, P0016, P0017 and P0341. Bad result: a rattle, those codes, or no chain history after 100,000 km.
- Check for rough idle and misfire on a cold and a warm start. Ask for fuel and oil history. Bad result: rough idle, misfire, or power loss.
- Ask a BMW dealer to check open recall campaigns for the car's VIN. Bad result: an open campaign on the EGR cooler or the rear lights.
