I need a cheap car to drive on days when I don’t or can’t ride my Triumph. For a 27 year-old car, it still drives pretty good. Needs some fuel injector cleaner, and some TLC on the inside, but it’s currently registered and has clear title.

Be careful, this one has a V6.

Happily, I’ve looked at the engine. No leaking oil anywhere that I can see, and all the cylinders seemed to be lined up one right after the other. Almost like an I.

Yeah, those BMW V6 engines can be trouble. I know the V8s and V10s have rod bearing issues, but those V6s? I’m pretty sure they’re prone to just mysteriously morphing into an inline motor when you pop the hood. That kind of wizardry should be avoided if you ask me.

It says salvage title in the ad?

Yep. Body damage, it looked like. Repaired.

Hopefully the emissions systems are in proper working order. Otherwise good luck registering it

It’s already registered and good on tags until Jan 2016. The check engine light was off when I drove it today.
