Do you guys this is good deal?

https://www.bmwofbloomfield.com/vehi...3B5C56EP541416


I am thinking about getting this car, Any insight into how reliable the engine is? Anyone have issue with the turbo?
It was a loaner so I'm worried about it being driven too hard.
Let me know realistically how much lower I can get the dealer.

So,

I checked the car from BMW's database to look at the service history and unfortunately, I don't have good news on it. Most of the time the vehicle was 5000km late for its service, one time 9000km late! I also had a look at its repair history, the car had a lot of problems with it including fuel injectors leaking, noisy trim, changed side mirror due to creaking, engine runs rough both in idle and acceleration, rear right tire constantly losing pressure, catalytic converter permanent malfunction, drivetrain malfunction, engine stalling at red lights and etc that I cannot list.

I would definitely not just stand away from it but stand miles away from it.

Can you link the database you used to check the service history? Thank you.

Unfortunately no as it is BMW’s internal system that I have access to and it’s not open for public use. If you have something that you’d like to check I can look it up for you.
