1996 BMW 328i

Purchased for $3,000

Background
Last owner bought it new, his first car, after his first paycheck. He owned the axis nightclub in Maplewood MN. He was getting married so his wife wanted him to sell some of his cars. He wanted to keep his escalades and Porsche. So he put it up on crags list for 3k and my dad promptly purchased it.

Things we fixed
- Front struts
- Realigned the wheel bearings
- Brake pads :)
