If you dream of speed and prestige, if you like German classics, then the coveted blue and white circle on the hood is your choice. Once you drive a BMW, you will remain a loyal fan of it forever. And in order for the car to become your friend, carefully consider its choice and purchase. Especially in the secondary market.
Instructions
Step 1
By purchasing a car in a car dealership from an authorized dealer, even if it is a used car, you get a guarantee of its legality. After all, some BMW models have been among the top five most stolen cars for many years. Therefore, buying a used car is associated with a great risk of getting into a "criminal" car. When buying a BMW off hand, even from friends and relatives, make a request to the traffic police department and conduct an examination of the numbered units (body, engine, interior) of the car.
Step 2
If you have not yet decided which model you like the most, compare the technical characteristics of the cars. And most importantly, decide for yourself what exactly you want from this car. If you need a "workhorse" for commuting and family commuting to the country, look for another car. Therefore, as befits a status car, BMWs are very expensive to maintain, consume a lot of gasoline and have a high tax rate. This also applies to cars over 5-7 years old.
Step 3
When inspecting a used car, first of all pay attention to traditional BMW problem areas. For example, they have a very vulnerable checkpoint, both mechanics and automatic. Moreover, manual transmission is even more often, since drivers prefer fast driving, with sharp changes. Problems with the gearbox in a chain pull clutch problems with them.
Step 4
Pay close attention to the condition of the body. Still, a sports car, high speed is not uncommon. Therefore, a large percentage of BMW cars are after accidents. Defects can be identified, first of all, by the degree of body staining. Until the domestic technical centers have learned how to select the color so masterly. Another little trick: notice if the windshield has changed or if it is cracked. With a hidden deformation of the body after an accident, a crack appears on the windshield, coming immediately from under the rubber band.
