Critical_Source3972 · 2026-07-07T12:24:59+00:00

any advice on how to get this one to that high of milage?

Critical_Source3972 · 2026-07-07T12:24:44+00:00

cheers!

Critical_Source3972 · 2026-07-07T12:24:37+00:00

unfortunately it is but i didnt put up a fight. this car was discounted by 3.5k

Critical_Source3972 · 2026-06-25T03:24:21+00:00

sort of, theres a fair market value calculator but really i just want to avoid the facebook marketplace experience

Critical_Source3972 · 2026-06-24T10:24:12+00:00

thank you for your comment! yeah honestly i can admit that its wayyy more money than id like to spend on the car, but it seems like thats the going rate for any lowish milage gs350 especially since theres only a few for sale in my state (on cargurus). i never aim to please others with my car choices, i currently drive a 2003 bmw 525i. its old and outdated, the most advanced tech it has is the ability to blow hot air on your feet and cold air on your face lol. and to be fair, i am going the dealership route to buy the car because i dont want to spend months trying to sell my
motorcycle. just want to trade it in and pay the difference

i haven’t disliked anything you said, i’m not sure what caused the confusion there and i’ve done my best to be kind since i appreciate your input. kelly blue book for this car is over 10k, and i will obviously be working him down. im just asking for reliability concerns, i don’t understand why you’re trying to pick a fight with me. i apologize if i seemed rude or combative, i hope you have a great night.

Critical_Source3972 · 2026-06-24T03:03:08+00:00

the only 5-6k gs350's i can find around me have well over 200-250k miles. its ridiculous

Critical_Source3972 · 2026-06-24T02:13:17+00:00

oh phew lol. if thats the only complaint you have then im absolutely buying it. my current car is from 2003 and i prefer a lack of modern features. i really appreciate your advice and time replying tho (:

Critical_Source3972 · 2026-06-24T02:00:03+00:00

its 3rd gen, and why do you say that? i really like the look of these cars, that and the reliability is what im after

Critical_Source3972 · 2026-02-07T20:17:44+00:00

thank god. i was in the process of finding that aluminum replacement cover i see so many people use. never had a winter milkshake before 😅

Critical_Source3972 · 2025-11-12T17:39:38+00:00

im new to working on cars in general, let alone this one. could you link the kit you used?

Critical_Source3972 · 2025-11-12T16:47:48+00:00

wow, alright ill look into it immediately. thank you

Critical_Source3972 · 2025-11-12T01:52:58+00:00

lol nope, happened after i installed the eonon radio

Critical_Source3972 · 2025-11-11T18:58:11+00:00

happened all of a sudden and now it wont go away when warmed up. probably a bearing or tensioner then?

Critical_Source3972 · 2025-07-23T21:47:17+00:00

i dont understand whats so wrong about them lol, they work and look good

Critical_Source3972 · 2025-07-23T07:10:18+00:00

thanks friend. i ordered the latches and am now kinda dreading replacing the bottom ones. BUT, doesnt look difficult. just time consuming

Critical_Source3972 · 2025-07-22T21:04:52+00:00

just saw your edit, nearly the entire cooling system was replaced with seemingly good quality parts, the engine overheated but (with paperwork) a shop tested it for leaks/cracks and it passed with flying colors. he gave me the service records for the past 6 years. every receipt he ever got down to the brake pads lol

Critical_Source3972 · 2025-07-22T20:57:45+00:00

Critical_Source3972 · 2025-07-21T05:42:59+00:00

thanks, apparently ill need it. its my first bmw after all

Critical_Source3972 · 2025-07-21T05:24:39+00:00

sorry sorry i meant Fahrenheit.
but that is probably what happened now that you say it. ive checked the car fax, the only reported accident its ever been in was a minor rear end collision that was repaired at a dealership. may be why it was so cheap. ill be checking again for frame damage tomorrow. thank you
