The early versions of this car are notoriously bad as documented in

..Damn I wanna like this car but cant ignore wjat you guys have told me..I guess the best way to salvage this would be to get an 04 which in my case means waiting till next year unless I get a proven 03.I would have access to service records so I can narrow it down..I guess if anything could screw up a Bimmer..it would be Windows..Damn..a BSOD at 75mph wouldnt be good and waiting for a patch is hilarious..

Well, BMW did extend the warranty on their 02 and 03, so you're covered regardless. Just expect some things to go wrong and be willing to put up with it. YOu should check out your BMW dealer service area and see how good/bad they are. If they seem like a good dealer then why not?
