I am in the process of shopping for a "new" used BMW, while also repairing on older 325is. I have used this newsgroup often and want to thank everyone who has sent me reponses on previous posts. It is much appreciated.
Here is the latest. I can get a 1991 535i with Manual Transmission, 131K miles, for $4000.
The car is extremely clean, but it has been wrecked.
I noticed the car pulls to the right, when breaking, ever so slightly, it could almost be by imagination or the tilt of the highway. When I take my hands off the wheel and apply the breaks, the car drifts to the right, a little, but not much really.
My other concern is that the temperature gauge stays square dab at the halfway mark. We drove for about 40 miles and the gauge stayed at the half way mark the whole time. When we stopped and idled, it did not climb.
It passed smog with good numbers.
Any advice? - before I basically write a check and get married to a car for the next 5 years or so??????
Thanks in advance.
