Good lord. I’d be scared to death of whatever else is half-assed on that car. I’d have the car inspected by a reputable BMW mechanic, it’s a possibility you just traded yourself into a real nightmare.

That's exactly what he did. These cars fall apart after 60k miles. For a Toyota 98k is low miles, for a BMW its a ton of miles.
