Nothing but diesels from now on. Shoot me if I ever buy a gas car again.

Remove the oil fill cap and see if you can see any sludge. If you can walk away from it. If you do decide to purchase it plan on reaching deep in your pockets to get the tranny sorted. The other weak spot, if maintenance is neglected, is the cooling system.

Check on Bimmerboard or Bimmerforums.

And there is no way I would pay $1000 for a luxury vehicle that cannot drive under its own power with 200,000 miles.
