As they all said above, I would hunt down the car's history.
Easiest way, if the seller will give up a key, is to have that
key "run" at any BMW stlr. Full history, via any BMW dlr, will
pop up.

Without knowing "what's been done" to it, we are only guessing
as to the potential probs. to be alert for.

Cooling system and all its components, as Alpac suggested, is
an Achilles heel. Window regs are penny ante. Having a trans
"looked at" is a very difficult diagnosis to do with any real
discernible info, imo.

Run that key and/or get the history by any method, before
you fall in love with it, let alone buy the beast.
