1997 BMW 328i Sedan. ~127k miles. Runs very well. Strong and Quiet. 5 speed. shifts smooth. beige heated leather seats. motorized seats, power windows, all work fine. Heat and AC works great. Stock radio with the stock 5 cd changer in the trunk Tinted windows New brakes as of this week. **PRICE IS $4500 OBO** This car has been very good to me. The only problem I had was the fan breaking and poking a hole into the radiator. So now it has a new waterpump, radiator, and fan. The Bad: -very very minor rust starting up. Hard to help that on a 13 year old car but overall it is very solid. -normal little nicks and dings in the paint, again it’s a 13 year old car. -I bumped into someone about a month ago and bent in the nose panel. The nose panel was the only thing affected. I pulled it back out a bit and it doesn’t look horrible, but it’s definitely something to mention. I am selling the car because I’m probably moving back to Hawaii in January and my grandmother is giving me her old civic to use until I leave. If I wasn’t moving, I would probably drive this thing until it exploded. It’s an awesome car. Very comfortable, quiet and smooth. Easy to just drive, have fun and not be worried about things going wrong. This will definitely not be the last E36 BMW that I own, that is certain. I’m located near UB south campus and work until about 5 M-F. Other than that I am usually available to show the car. Some pics in the CL ad. I’ll get more when I find a camera to borrow. I’m in between SLRs right now. 😕 [http://buffalo.craigslist.org/cto/1410303665.html](http://buffalo.craigslist.org/cto/1410303665.html) ---

Might be interested in this as I am looking for a dd. Are these cars easy to work on mechanical wise? I just talked to a friend and he says parts are expensive but it’s manageable if you do your own wrenching. ---

The only things I did was the waterpump/fan/radiator and didn’t find it particularly hard at all. And those parts didn’t seem crazy expensive either. I mean it’s obviously more than a cavalier, but less goes wrong. ---

Yeah e36’s are pretty simple to work on. I had a '95 325. Never left me stranded, pretty reliable. Only issues were an abusive previous owner. Nice car, looks pretty clean. GLWS!! ---
