Very dependable and comfortable car

I've owned this car for the past 6 years and put nearly 100k miles on it. The only repair issues I've had is replacing the leaking gaskets. If you decide to purchase this model BMW be sure you have an honest mechanic. I noticed antifreeze in the oil reservoir and was almost certain I had a blown head gasket. When I took it to my mechanic I was pleasantly surprised to find the problem was just a bad oil filter housing which cost only a couple hundred dollars to fix.
