Teacher, I've always liked that generation 3 series with the 6 cylinder, but I've never owned one, so I can't really comment on how good they are. They do seem to have their own following still, though.

Interior looks in good shape.
Not a fan of that color. But you can go blind for that price.

I am not a fan of the color either, I am just looking for a daily driver that is cheaper to drive then my Suburban. 10 mpg is killing me right now and gas is only going up. Once I start working again I will put the new motor in the camaro and more then likely sell what ever I have bought, be it the BMW or something else.

Go for the BMW. If it runs fine then it should be a good DD.

I'd definitely check it out. Wish I could tell you what to look for on these cars, but I don't know.
EDIT: Just thought of something, check the shock/strut towers for rust, its an issue on even older BMW's, maybe not one this new, not sure.

Nope. After I took them out I "reset" the sensors (like after a tire rotation) and the car doesn't display any info about the TPMS now.
