I often tell people looking for a car to see what tires are on the car; Michelin, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Hankook, Dunlop, Firestone=good, Wang Ho Super Trak=not so good.
My 2008 with 65,500 miles [winter stored 5-6 months each year] still has original water pump and thermostat AND battery [thanks Deltran].
Folks this sounds like a great car-this is the one you want.

Hey
NorthernDancer thanks for the good words. Yeah, I’m a big fan of the saying: “Take care of the car and it will take care of you.”
This might not be as clapped out as some of the other 128i track cars here like
Phloozy ,
spidertri and the others, but it has gotten me from complete Novice to now Advanced with minimal to no additional mods. Quite a good starter DE car tbh.
