Used Car of the Day: 2004 BMW 325 XiT
It's wagon time yet again. This time it's a 3-Series wagon of 2004 vintage.
This 2004 BMW 325 XiT wagon has an automatic transmission and is a daily driver, so the mileage is over 191,000 and rising.
It has a Sand Leather interior, moonroof, power front seats with memory, heated front seats, fog lamps, rain sensor, and CD player.
The seller has apparently replaced many parts and has replacements on hand for others, and he or she notes that the car has a vibration at 30 and 60 mph and some cosmetic damage and rust.
The ask on this car is $5,000 and you can view it here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

It looks like it's had a OK amount of maintenance done, though no mention of a LOT of common this-era BMW things. I'd say this is a sub-3K car, at least in my area. That said, having owned a pretty decontented E46 wagon I ordered new and owned for 14yrs and 130k miles, compared to more modern BMW fare, they're not too bad to keep going at all.
I owned this car, but with a manual trans and RWD. The 2.5L engine was lovely, but did not have enough power to pull AWD and a slushbox.
One of only a few cars that I still miss.
