can anyone tell me anything good or bad about said car.



the one that caught my eye is a 98, sport, 6sp with 68k miles.



wanted to know if there are any known problems or very expensive to maintain and a rough price estimate.

actually wanted a 3 series wagon but this one i didnt have to go out and look for.



thanks

yah the whole car is a known problem. if you're careful and dont plan to keep it forever, its not a big deal though.



ps system will leak, its gonna need brakes, higher mileage ones need big suspension work (bushings, ball joints etc).
