It’s a shame the video wasn’t 2 seconds shorter, then we could’ve had a 3:25 video featuring a BMW 325 !

I just came back of checking a car that I almost buy. It was a E46 328CI for 4k. 5 minutes is what took me to walk away from the car. It had key scratches on both side. Door dents (wich is common but not good). The interior had marks of not cleaning it properly but what said to me “this is a lemon” were the tires. It have the cheapest one you can buy and were in bad condition. If he can’t afford a proper tires or don’t care to put a decent ones, I can’t imagine how the car was mechanically. Its a shame though, I really liked the color.

Also take an obd2 scanner. If the owner erased the codes there are some tests such as emissions that will take a while to show again in the CEL light, and cats can be very expensive.

Sometimes it’s hard to know. I bought a cheap truck, and the owner said it didn’t leak or use any fluids. I did my due diligence and checked everything and test drove, but lo and behold, the next day it used all of its coolant. And the day after, all of it again. It turned out to be a leaky manifold gasket where the engine was burning the coolant. But the exhaust smelled fine and there was no coolant in the oil, so there was no way of me really knowing! Thankfully it was a cheap truck and I didn’t lose too much money
