Hello all!
My first post and I need some help as to whether I should buy a certified 2004 BMW 525i from a dealer. It has only 25k miles on it but it was produced in Nov03. I heard about potential electrical problems with 2004 BMW produced before April04 so based on the below, is this a cause for concern? Could someone let me know which is an issue to worry about and which is not an issue? I need to reply to the dealer by tomorrow so a quick response would be appreciated! The repair history is shown below...
