Hello everyone, I am new here and would be getting my ride this evening.
Getting 00 318, the 1.9l one. The mileage on it is 85,000.
Very excited about it and understand that this is a coming 5 yr old car and 1 owner.
Anyway, wondering what would I be expecting to service or wear and tear parts that I have to do? Would I run into a hefty bill? If so, how much?
Also any advise for me? This is my fist Bimmer.
I am asking this because I just scrapped my other coupe as it would cost too much to do the gearbox, timing belt, and other wear and tear etc.... although I love my coupe....thought that this unit was a pretty good one.
I have read from the other threads and seems like BMW is on timing chain, when am I expected to change it? Cars that I owned all ran on timing belt.
Other stuffs like brakes? Oil Change...sparkplugs.....?
Please advise.
Thanks !!!
