Question Need Advice About Buying

Hey Guys, I'm new to this forum and in need for some advice.

I've been recently looking into buying a 320i E90, my budget is $25k. I have had a look on carsales.com and have found 2005 models with 60k on them for about $20k. I want to get this car but I have concerns about reliability and actual running costs.

If you guys could perhaps give me an idea of those things and what I can expect in the near future (parts/service costs/potential repairs). Also if you guys could also tell me what I should look at before buying it would be great.

P.S I don't expect to drive more than 15k kms max a year and even that is pushing it. Also I live in Australia, thought it might help with relevent info.

Thanks.

Props if you can guess what the 'P' in my username stands for!

That seems a little high for a 2005 325. Reliability wise you won't have too many problems unless you have the dealer do all the work for you. That's where they get pricey
