The first thing to go wrong with the car was the fuel pump relay, that happened 10 minutes after I got the car.
The second thing was the water pump.
The third was the clutch; I got that replaced and it cost a great deal of money, because the disc exploded into a white powder.
200 miles after I got the new clutch in, the input shaft snapped on the tranny, and then the ball joint broke and put me in the ditch.
I love BMWs, but these cars are crap.
I would not recommend buying one at all.
Sounds like you bought a lemon.
Well let me see now, you bought a 21 year old Sportscar and you complain of repairs.
Sounds like he bought a junker and now blames it on the 20 year old vehicle that was probably never maintained, and that he thought he was getting a great deal on, compared to the other ones costing more $$$.
My 524 came with all service records from new, and was superbly maintained. Guess what, it cost me more than a lot of them out there, but has been a gem. The most expensive BMW or Mercedes you will ever buy will likely sell for $1,000 or less.
Yeah, I'm sorry but I owned 2 identical 535 5speeds and these were the toughest cars I've ever had... This guy bought a piece of crap. At 19 and 21 years old each when I had them, I put 25,000 on EACH car in a year. I was taking trips @ 1,000 miles each way with not a single breakdown. Yes, the cars had minor problems but they're fricken old and were never meant to be garage queens!!! There is NO better car you can pick up for less than a few grand that can do what this car can.
