Question 2000 BMW 528i, what to lookout for....? - 03-12-2010, 04:27 PM

Going to look at a 2000 BMW 528i with 93k miles on it for the wife this weekend. What should I look out for while test driving?

I was just thinking of looking at that same car

Look for:

-The digital dash missing pixels
-O2 sensor codes, there are Four! 02 sensors
-the DSC or ABS system light on
-Rubber intake eblow ripped/cracked
-Smooth tranny operation
-Ask if the water pump has been done (plastic impeller)
-Uneven tire wear indicating worn suspension or misalignment

These cars are pretty solid though
