Urgent, I need help buying another BMW

2006 330CI, 64,000 miles. new tires, clean car fax, dealer maintianed.

issues:

front end. weather at a stop or while driving... when you press the brake pedal, the steering wheel goes to the left about 1 inch. I can get the wheel to eventually go all the way around to the left lock by repeatedly pressing the brake pedal at a dead stop. The car drives and brakes dead straight with no hands on the wheel.

There is a clunk in the front end at various speeds.

There is a significant rip in the driver seat upholstery. May need new seat cover. Passenger side is begining to go in the same spot.

Body is very good for the age, top is very good. It looks like the car was kept in a garage. runs like a raped ape. no sign of oil leaking, engine runs crisp and snappy.

The guy wants 20,000. Edmunds, KBB and True car has the retail at 15K to 16K in good mechanical condition depending on which site you would use.

How much would those repairs cost that I mentioned... Ball Park.

The x5 is running strong with 153,000 miles, original drive train and trans. can't be happier right now. I am not giving up the X5.
