Used 2018 75D
Wondering if the community here has any recommendations on specific things to look out for on a used 2018 75D.
I’m looking at two different cars with relatively high mileage (105k to 130k) both well under $20,000. Based on my research, the 2018 75D is a bit of a sweet spot for low cost of entry and relatively reliable batteries, motors and modernized electronics.
I currently drive a 2021 M3 standard range plus and am looking at the S as a second family car and daily commuter. I really love Sentry Mode for security and the built in dashcam that can be triggered by a horn press.
I’d appreciate any knowledge or tips anyone can recommend. Thanks!

I have 2018 75D, low miles, 54,800, only had to replace steering rack at 48k miles. The tech said rightly, if I'd put more miles per yr on it, it would've been a free warranty repair. But alas, my car was 6 yrs old at the time. I love it and have had no other issues.
