: Hi folks. I'm in the market for my first BMW and I'm looking closely at both the E24 (6 series) and the E30 (older 3 series). Specifically I'm considering a 1983/84 633csi and a 1987 325. All the cars in my price range ($4000-$5000) are high mileage cars (over 100,000), but appear to be in very good shape. Would someone please provide some discussion on the pro's and con's of each model and which would be the better buy? I've been doing research on these cars as to the "gotcha's" to look for when doing my pre-purchase inspection like problem rust areas and such. I would also appreciate further discussion on these "gotchas" as well as anything else to look out for. Thanks!
I've owned a 1984 633csi for 4 years, 80k to 105k
I paid top $$$($9000)in 1995 but its conditon was exeptional. I've had very few problems during
my ownership. I did replace water pump, battery,
tires,and antenna all work was done by a local garage that specializes in foriegn car repairs. The costs were all reasonable. Recently I noticed a
vibration in the front end at the 30-50 mph range
i'm looking into the cause now, otherwise its a great driving and looking coupe.
I say go for the 6
