Hey all,

I'm considering purchasing a 2 in Tacoma tomorrow (Friday). I'd like to have a buyer's inspection done, but I'm unfamiliar with the area. Any suggestions for a good shop to have a buyer's inspection done at?

Many thanks,

Chad

Take it to BMW Northwest in Fife.

Thanks but unfortunately that's where the car is being sold, so I'm looking for an objective 3rd party to do the inspection. So far, the likelihood of me buying the car looks slim. The seats have bolsters on which the leather has been rubbed raw. I suspect that won't be repairable.

If the seats have been abused- that's a good indicator they probably didn't take care of the rest of the car.

Id trust BMW Seattle over BMW Northwest if you're shopping used.

BMW Seattle doesn’t have any M235i in stock. BMW Bellevue has three. Then go to Strickly BMW to have the car checked.

As it turns out, BMW Northwest wouldn't let me take the car for a pre-purchase inspection. So, I put an end to that discussion


Unfortunately, M235i's with xdrive seem to be pretty sparce around the NW. To make my hunt more tricky, I'm looking for a non-black interior. Been looking a couple months to no avail.
