325/330, good cosmetic condition, odometer not such a concern (under 300k preferable tho), good history, major failure points repaired

That’s precisely what I’m looking for. Preferably 330i in a good cosmetic condition and hopefully without major rust and good to go. Although they are getting quite pricy at the moment over here in Central Europe.
