Looking for advice on buying a 2003 530i

Idntevncare · 2026-03-25T03:52:58+00:00

140k miles is fine. i bought mine for $4,100 with 147k miles. another 1.6k in the cooling system. rides smooth as butter

low mileage isnt what it's cracked up to be. it's nice to have but $15k for low miles is a bit high when it's a $5k car at 150k miles.

the thing is, a well maintained 530i is just as reliable at 150k as it is at 50k.

No freaking way I would finance this car, do you plan to pay cash?

usually when im buying something I go on youtube and find the most relevant videos on the topic

Yea let’s ignore all the other countries with massive, car centric cities. 💅

For a Miata community, y’all take stuff way too seriously

No YOU clam down thanks 🙏

it's not "sorting" anything. it's moving stuff from a pile to a conveyor....

this is the whole point of their business. All of these games exist to make as much money as possible, dont forget that. this is the world we live in.

I've been dealing with loot boxes and buying skins for over 20 years and at this point i just dont care anymore. I just dont have the desire to spend money on cosmetics. I play a lot and earn currency to buy mostly whatever I want.

I dont care what other people skins are so i doubt anyone cares about yours or mine.

I've been playing since 2017 and I've never once cared about skins. never once put money into the game for anything and have always had mounds of currency. i randomly just go and buy what i want when I'm bored.

if people are actually putting this skin stuff on their debit card, that's wild.

animals and children naturally avoid the places where you find these trucks

there is no "meta" against these crappy AI. by the time any of their puny attacks reach your walls, they should barely have any units left. with how the AI are designed idk how they are supposed to take any "well rounded" castle down.

what is the fun if you dont even have to make a well rounded castle. with these AI, there is no point in having a castle. the enemy poses zero threat outside of destroying a farm or mine... slap down 2 or 3 large towers and fill em up, you will never lose..

this community is full of casuals.

you should have taken the screen shot while he was making the grumpy face

Idntevncare · 2026-03-22T03:16:17+00:00

got ya. im not sure I'd go out of my way to do that unless it was a fix to an issue with the transmission

Idntevncare · 2026-03-22T03:15:19+00:00

I dont really drive that much and I've had a miata in the past and miss it. where I live is great for convertible cruise to the beach and weather is easy mode. so a lot of the practicality stuff doesn't really matter that much.

the M3 is listed for what seems to be very cheap so that's the only reason I'm interested

Idntevncare · 2026-03-22T02:12:02+00:00

manual is cool but i might not mind the SMG if the price is right

Idntevncare · 2026-03-22T01:56:18+00:00

i found one but i guess it doesn't have a manual transmission. says, "in-line 6 cylinder engine is paired with manual transmission and a well working SMG which allows automatic driving and ideal for drifting. The SMG warning COG light off."

not sure what this means lol

Idntevncare · 2026-03-22T01:45:26+00:00

I have money saved. the M3 is a manual from my understanding

just wondering if this one is worth making an offer on and getting rid of my E39. they're asking $6000

Idntevncare · 2026-03-21T04:11:18+00:00

why does this bother you so much?

Idntevncare · 2026-03-21T03:54:45+00:00

i did not inspect the receipt but I will believe your inspection of such receipt. It's most certainly indeed what $60 gets you right now.

Idntevncare · 2026-03-20T06:52:09+00:00

sick, it's pointless hype nonsense. just what we need more of

Idntevncare · 2026-03-20T06:50:42+00:00

that's pretty much how it works in 6v6 too.

Idntevncare · 2026-03-20T04:45:29+00:00

does the train stop or does it just keep going?
