Found a very clean bill/blk 2006 325xi with 63k miles for $8,900. Anything to be worried about with this model?

check car gu ru to check prices they tell you if it is a good deal or not and as a girl I like that

Check the car fax

IDK but I have a 2009 328i 2 door 4wd coupe SULEV nothing wrong with it that is major, just stupid things starting to go out like:
passenger window reg it doesn't always go up and a rear tail lite out or loose wire
2 recalls for the housing inside the heater that needs to be fixed waiting for the letter another less serious recall, and I had another recall and I got it fixed. The oil seal gasket thingie needs to be replaced, I was told to wait until I smell burning crayons. WTH?

the windshield rubber need to be replaced it is cracking from the car being left in the sun sitting waiting for a new driver at 3 different dealership over the years and the driver seat belt sensor goes on when I am driving on the highway with my seat belt on? Sometimes if I pull over and stop the car (residential only) then restart it the indicator goes away. It happens once in a while but that is not my daily driver. I do love this car better than my 2013 BMW 2 door 328i coupe non sulev

It drives faster than the 2009 328i but that car has heavier doors and feels more solid for some reason. I feel a little safer in it, I nicknamed the car Grandpa John, because there is always something wrong with him...

My 2013 I call the Squirrel because if you drive it like a race car it will perform like one in M drive mode

I'm coming up on 3 years of ownership of a 3006 BMW. Gas oil and tires, I did have a brake line rust out but that was Michogan road salt feeding the tinwprm. It's been rock solid reliable.
