G83 - Can a Low Mileage 2004 daily drive?

How many years have you been daily driving it? Maybe your mechanic has gotten it pretty well sorted out by now. Have the timing chains and valley pan gasket been done?

That being said I have finally found a rust free E30 325e in original henna under a 100K in mileage for 6.5K It's going to need everything in the engine compartment gone through but I love a nice smaller car that is enjoyable to drive.

I nearly bought an E46 Touring vs a the E91, but the E91 having more hp/tq and lighter in weight was the driving factor.

I don't need to bring my granddaughter with me and she's 10 so she doesn't quite fit in an E30 anymore since she is nearly 5 foot. So this is a me car vs a family car.
