Its not exactly cheap, but with old BMW ownership it always makes sense to look for a better example with some maintenance already addressed. That car looks nice, and cared for. Looks like a great way for a young car enthusiast to get started.

The biggest thing isn't the snow or even the salt, its how fucked the roads are. I seriously thought I was going to rip my fucking subframe off driving through edmonton even in the middle of summer. Expect the suspension life of a car in Alberta to be about 75% or less than it would here. First thing I would do is replace every bushing and shock mount on any used car.

IIRC, that car was selling for 1/3 that a couple of years ago, plus the auto is a turnoff.

Valid point. But if the starter spins on turning of the key, and the engine doesn't turn there is clearly a starter gear or issue with the flywheel which is what it sounds like in the description. If you can jump it down a hill and the car runs fine I wouldn't be afraid. Pulling the trans and putting in a new flywheel probably isn't very much fun for the maximum 2 grand he would get for that car in good running condition.
