Which series BMW is the most reliable with the least problems around the year 2000??

3 or 5 series?

would it be smart to buy a 2000 BMW 325i with around 70,000 miles on it? or will it give me problems?

does the same go for the 5 series?

Personally, I would go back one year and get a 99 3 series. The 99 was the last of the E36 and therefore had most all the bugs worked out. The radiator was aluminum sleeved, had an aluminum thermostat housing and metal water pump. If you are looking specifically at the E46 3 series and 2000 5 series (E39) then definitely get the 3 series. The E39 is great but it is larger and more expensive. You can find a higher trim lower miles 3 for the same price as some 5's.

No matter what you get: DON'T ever go to the dealer. You can get almost every part online at Pelicanparts.com and either you or a local shop can install them.

If you can shop around for parts, they aren't really that much more expensive then the next car. It's the BMW specific labor that will kill you. The local dealer is over $115/hr and the shops are all over $85/hr. They aren't hard cars to work on and require very little in tools to do most ''normal'' jobs. Just get a Bentley Guide and ask any technical questions on Bimmerforums.com.
