Help - Buying first BMW

I am close to buying my first BMW, it is a 2004 330i with 105k and in near excellent condition from a local used car dealership. My question is, what would be some of the problem areas to look out for? runs and shifts very smooth. I'm worried about timing belt/chain and things of that nature which you can't see. I hear of fuel pump, water pump issues, and it has the fabric on the A pillar coming loose at the bottom which seems to be a problem with these. It does have a clean car fax.

Re: Help - Buying first BMW

Its depend on what's type car do you want? either you are looking for a car which should be for family use as well or you are looking for the car which have an executive look and splendid display. Or you are looking for the racing car.

I personally like to BMW 3series ride. That is really gorgeous.
