That's a good look. Call up your local BMW dealer and see how much an inspection would cost then ask the seller if its ok if they check it out.
should i cop a 99 5-series?(edited)

I'd look into that. Its says minor blemishes. If thats the case, spend the other 1100 to clean it up, and then put it up for sale for 6gs. An SI with that mileage for that price is a STEAL.

No. Just find a GOOD shop near you. Call and tell them youre buying a used car and want to know if they will do a pre purchased inspection. Most shop will put it on a lift, thoroughly inspect every part of the car and even take it for a test drive. This is probably cost you $100 though.

All of all the used cars around 4K you picked a Beamer?
You can get a Civic, Sentra, or Corolla with a lot less miles on it. Hell, you can get a 99 Caddy Deville with about 125K miles on it for 4 stacks.

Deville? Those things have higher failure rates than Xbox 360's...
Why do ya'll even ask for our opinions though? This post reminds me of dude that wanted and got that salvage Maxima. Really, ya'll just lookin for confirmation from NT
So yes get the 3, just throw some BBS' on there and you'll be like your neighborhoods own Rich Porter
