BMW 116i?

[De@nO]

My dad and I are thinking of buying a BMW 116i

its an 06 model with 180k kms on the clock!

Car has been used by a salesman who drives long distances everyday.
Rustenburg and DBN on a reg basis.

Car is still very clean, and had no issues with it.

What would a fair price be?
Are there any common problems for this vehicle at this milleage?

Not much constructive to say here... The issue I see is that the car was probably driven hard - Being a 1.6 and driven long distances. Considering he did this on a regular basis, chances are higher that he drove at high speed. Not as much of an issue if it was like a 120i or 130i, but the smaller cars are designed more to be used i city driving conditions. Perhaps find an older 118i/120i... Although if you're at the coast, the 116i mght be alright for him. My 10 cents worth... :thumbsup:
