The 128 is pretty solid, Auto's are always more of a risk than manual, do you standard used car checks and get a PPI done by a local BMW dealership. Should be between $125-$180 and they're extremely thorough. See if the seller will split the cost, if you don't buy it you can give them the results to share with the next interested person. If the dealer/individual selling the car is not willing to allow this, that's a red flag.
