    Hmm.... there is a hell of a lot of things that were "replaced" that actually weren't on this car. I wish I would have screen shot the for sale ad before the mods took it down... Brakes were supposedly new 10k ago. 

    Hey at least the light works. (maybe?)

        I do not have permission to view the ad. Could you please take a screen shot or something for me? Not that its a huge issue, I bought the car for 1150, I just want to see what all was said to be replaced. 

        Just bothers me that the dude knew I was going to drive at home 70 miles down the interstate, and the damn steering was nearly disconnected, the front two wheels were SERIOUSLY bent, and one of the lugs on the front wheel was busted off, and none of that was mentioned. Just scares me to drive it before I check over absolutely everything now.

              Ok, Has anyone here had a brake line failure on a BMW? 

              Not a BMW but last winter some of the guys on here witnessed the Snapsquatch blow the line on my camry. I drove it 4 miles home. Brakes "worked" but it was more or less nothing for 90% pedal travel then locking the front wheel that last 10%

              And for the record i blew the lines on the accord i borrowed from my inlaws while repairing the camry......the lines burst less than 1/4 mile from their house

                Note to self: brakes will be fine as long as you don't let snap drive it.

                I will just go with a hydro attached to my locking oe handle. That saves a bunch of thinking. Any recommendations? I will pay for a quality one.

                  Once you figure out a setup that maintains the OE handle, let me know=) I have wanted to do that setup but never took the time to plan it out
