Seems like a slip of the finger while selecting images to upload to CL from the phone. Id like to believe that was the case for an FX35 I saw a few months ago with a random pic of a guy riding up an airport escalator

God I hope not

It must have rust starting on the quarters because he completely neglects to show pictures from those angles. Doesn't look like a bad car otherwise but if it was premium sound, he definitely did some frankenwiring in there...

Terrible pictures-check

Hoonigan stickers-check

massive sub box wired by Ray Charles-check

Cheap bottle of NOT BMW coolant to guaranty good maintenance and it doesn't have cooling issues- check

they've tricked you too, huh?

If you have to carry a jug of coolant in the front seat...

The radio looks like it's secured well enough to turn into a G-force meter at any hard acceleration.  He also neglects to mention the 245k+ miles on the odo.  This guy has gotta be fucking high.  My guess: 19 years old, first baby with younger girlfriend, works low paying job, has no life skills, still lives with parents, enjoys excessive amounts of monster energy, vapes, aspires to own a rari and pronounces it as such and thinks Ken Block is a great race car driver.

I guess it is just an E36 so no one really gives a shit what color it is...........

Problem is you should never mix coolant types. Just because they're the same color doesn't mean anything.
Used to be that coolant was coolant. Now there are additives including phosphates & nitrates which can vary along with containing ethylene glycol in different percentages can mean MOST coolants are incompatible. This can lead to corrosion in the cooling system and the early degradation of things like water pumps, gaskets, and radiators. I wouldnt recommend even mixing brands, much less types but thats just me.

On my E30, using the "wrong" coolant caused some electrolysis to set in between the combination of dissimilar metals (aluminum, steel, iron etc) and two freeze plugs were "ate up" and had to be replaced.

245k on the odo... and here I was wondering why seller was taking a closeup picture of the airbag. Doh

Logical reason for coolant jug in the front, no room with the subs in the back.
