Not looking to buy one, but... SLK 230... why so cheap?

We're quite a knowledgable forum on BMW's thanks to some great members - they also have same issues. VANOS seals anyone? Swirl flaps? Fox was just mentioning the other day his e39 had some sort of issue that BMW USA is replacing yet BMW UK won't for some reason.
AFAIK there are quite a few things that BMW USA replace which aren't done over here..
And don't forget the sub frame issues on the Z3 and E46 Coupe..
 
whats that specific prob?

from what ive read on here about the cooling system issues i got the impression that the failures were parts that youd almost expect to become consumable at one stage

as for the diesels... swirl flaps, that a big fail and design flaw. so many diesels are becoming over complicated... i still beleive the VAG 1.9 tdi is great. apart from EGR and breather issues its unkillable
 
Sorry Fox, in the future I won't bother bringing any of my real world experiences to your table. I'm sure it will be no loss as you seem to be able to best advise everybody and anybody on just about any topic, hats off to you.:rolleyes:

I bought a lottery ticket and won £10 the other day, some dude was saying playing the lottery most people lose, I sure showed him though, I bought my real world experience to the table and thus clearly proved buying a lottery ticket was an infallible way to make money.
