What's the mileage on your 35i?

Are you still on the original turbo? Can these turbo engines hit 200K?

Trying to get some feedback if I should jump on one at 133k.

Thank you.

I don't have the scraping noise when turning. Well, if it involves removing the airbag or the steering wheel, then I can live with them not functioning. It's mostly radio controls anyway.

Thanks.

I was thinking e70 35i. How are those cars? I'm sure the I6 turbo is much better than the V8? I haven't really read much on them yet.

This is where the leak is. No signs on the reservoir cap.
Is there a spray epoxy of some sort to get by?
Will this blow up and start gushing on the highway?

Are the 4.4i ('05 to be specific) prone to valve stem seal leaks,

or are these mainly on the 4.6 and 4.8's that are more powerful? How about the coolant plastic pipe?
