Opinions on this 335i
I am currently looking at this vehicle. The carfax seems clear it had 1 owner. I have never bought a used vehicle ever and worried about what may go wrong other than normal maintenance. I am clueless when it comes to maintenance.

Couple of things... 1) buying used is the more financially sound choice to make. Let someone else eat that outrageous first year depreciation. 2) I don't have a 335, I have a 11' 328i, however I've been looking for a 335i and 335is. I feel the price tag on this vehicle is wayyyy too high. For that price, you could get a 11 328i that is generously equipped and has a extended warranty. For 4k more you could find a 11 335i sedan as well. I realize we all have a budget, but I'd keep looking. The pre-11 n54 engine was a great engine performance wise, but had a lot of issues(hpfp and turbos). They got ironed out toward the end of its existence(2010). I would steer clear of these if you don't have warranty coverage. Best of luck!

Thanks guys. I was going to take a look at it just to see the condition of it since it's hard to tell just from pics. The sticker on this was around $51k...if I were to purchase, I would try to get close to 20k. Not sure if this is standard or not from BMW but the dealership will be giving me 12month, 12k mile warranty. It's just so hard to find this color! Lol

Regarding the 09 you've provided a link to, that's way to much for that year and those miles. Sport pckg isn't rare so dont' buy that part either, be mindful of the DTML fuel pump. Double check the charge pipe also, if it's OEM ask if it's been replaced if not find out what brand it is. Other than that 09/10 are your best years for a used bmw. Not only for the engine but the navigation starting in 09 looks nice compared to the previous years. Hope this helps and regarding the hpfp and turbos they have factory warranty so they'll be covered

What's the average cost to relace the DTML pump? Also, what's the warranty on the Turbo? 100k? |

See if you can't negotiate the price down. I don't think there is a ton of people out there in the market for an 09...plus it's the holiday season, so more buyers will be looking at new and gently-used cars due to the incentives. They should find it difficult to move. |

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=729833 As far as the DTML fuel pump, it isn't much but if you take it to the dealership they'll charge roughly 300+. It's relatively easy and unfortunately I didn't know that until AFTER I dished out the money for it to be replaced
