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.
UPDATE - Light comes on and then goes off again. Is this in need of service or Oil Pump?
I'll be buying a car tomorrow so really need an answer please!!!!
Is it a yellow light or red light?
UPDATE - ITS RED LIGHT OF OIL THAT KEEPS COMING UP AND THEN GOING OFF
Do not buy. Oil pressure issue
could it be the sensor or definitely pressure issue and therefore either leak or oil pump
