Concerns buying a used f82

[Bmweth24]

I went to inspect the car and it had oil leaking also ran it for codes. Transmission was clear but the engine had some misfires I will attached the screenshots but other than an oil leaks would it be worth it to buy it? It has about 100k miles and about to go into service (idk if they’re going to fix it)

Buying that car would not be worth it unless it’s a good deal even with a bad motor.

What’s a good deal for you?

[headstart101]

With 100k miles and clean title, no more than $31K.

That’s what I was thinking. Even with the misfire?

With the misfire you could still be rolling the dice because there could be other issues that are not obvious yet. If the only issue is the misfire and the engine runes fine when warm, I’ll say go for it but just be aware, you could be buying a problem with no end in sight.

I would definitely check the oil pan gasket as that’s a major issue with the oil leakage. And make sure there’s no bad scuffs to the oil cooler.

31K is still high, I wouldn’t pay over 27. Friend of mine bought a clean title ‘15 F82 with 55K miles and a 6MT for 32K. Decently optioned as well. He bought his last week.

I would be concerned about the low oil code. Doesn't take much to starve the engine of oil.

Clean title? Which state?

I’m Ca so prices are a little higher. High mileage clean title cars are going in the high 30’s here.

I saw oil leaking on the valve cover and oil filter housing
