Hello BMW auto fans!
I've been riding and building the motorcycles for many moons and have decided to take the plunge into the 4 wheel world. Located a 535 i model for the super price of $500. Has 115K on the clock and supposedly needs drive shaft repair. If these cars are anything like the motorcycles I should be happy in the future. If anybody has one of these models, any and all comments/tips/opinions/parts sources etc. are more than welcome in my world.
Thanks and keep the rubber side down......
it sounds like you do the repairs yourelf, so if it's just the shaft then you'll have no problems taking care of this care. What i've noticed while tackling drive train issues is that Beamers are pretty easy to work on ( in general).
