Not sure I agree with the 5 miles from home comment - most folks I know who have 320i models -even the early models - swear by them and have very few problems. I love the body style etc of the 320i - almost as much as I do my 2002.

The problem this car has is from a previous owner who doesn't know the difference between positive and negative ona battery - has nothing to do with the car. The car has 100K miles on it - doubt that was in 20000 five mile trips !!
