2001 3200I Keep Or Change

Hi,

I've got a 320i E46 X Reg 2001 with about 115k miles. I have had it 21/2years and covered 35k miles.

The million dollar question is whether to keep it or sell now before the value drops a lot.

Runs ok but uses a lot of oil and I'm having a few niggles

Thanks

Ocky
