[QUOTE="gameover, post: 625854, member: 14717"] You said you had 2 things but listed 12 :D Let me be completely frank, a used BMW purchase is not for the faint hearted. Things will go wrong, even with a full service record although at least you can see what went wrong before with the records. If it's a SKD model you can verify the record with one of the dealers. If it's an AP model then whatever you see is completely open to forgery :D Think about this, BMW Malaysia only warranties their brand new cars for 2 years while all other german manufacturers warranty them for 3-5 years (Audi 3 years, MB and Porsche 4 years, VW 5 years). :D I had the means to buy a BMW many many years ago but I never could bring myself to do it for the same concerns you listed above so I didn't. When I was ready then I took the plunge. There's no shame or regret, just anticipation of being able to buy a much newer BMW in the future and not worry about so many things. [/QUOTE]
