It wasn't really fun to drive either. The automatic transmission was OK in
"sport mode" but really sluggish in standard mode.
I think for the $3K ask he could get a much nicer and better made MB.

Those engines are known for blowing head gaskets and having all kinds of
issues. Basically they’re a POS using BMW parts that are not known for being
reliable. Throwaways. If you could pick one up for $500 and treat it as a money
pit project for some reason then it might be somewhat
Went and looked at this car today. Cosmetically it's OK, the typical dings and
scratches you'd expect on a an 11 year old car. No rust or major damage.

are priced accordingly.

I don’t know about these for longevity, but I’ve been told they’re pretty
robust otherwise. The price is in line with what I’ve seen in my market for

these?
