Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hi Im buying the above car tomorrow.

MOT history is impeccable and lady owner assured me no issues but Oil light
comes on every now and again. Would you advise buying? Could just need
servicing which Im happy to buy but could also be oil put which is a no no.

What do you think?

I would not buy a BMW older than 3 years old. Not a fan of plastic parts on cars and BMW has them all over even in transmission that cause failures. Cost of parts is a fortune. Have a weekly funds for depositing money into for your first fix.
