Hi: Any suggestions on getting a pre-purchase inspection (critical
issuse and or reliable service shop) on my soon to be 1997 328ic.
It's coming from St Louis withh 87K on it. I live in DC and I my
friend thinks he'll have time to drive it here in the next two weeks.
I have already paid 90%, so this prepurchase inspection is to ensure
that it is basically has no major problems, or soon to be
replacements (ie muffler, tranny, tires, roof, etc..).
Thanks Matt 703-200-7469 in VA

CHeck for cracks in the upper hose connection to the radiator. Mine went
about that mileage. Also check for ball joint wear. Its soon.

I just bought a similiar vehicle and took it to the BMW dealer and they did
a 25-point courtesy inspection for me...only thing they found was leaking
rear differential seals...but it was worth it. Plus it was free.
