2009 335i E90

I CU2 · 10-12-2015, 09:11 PM

Hi Guys,

Can anyone tell me if this is a reasonable price at all: http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/de...3901630/?Cr=22

Only thing that I'm hesitant about is the amount of km on it.

Seems ok, that interior colour is pretty awesome, the KMs work out at 13,100 per year which is lowish driving.
8 months of rego isn't bad.

Go see it in person if you can, find out what their warranty is and covers and if you need to hav it serviced by them.

You should be able to talk them under 30k.

the exterior colour is great...not too common. Mileage doesn't seem too high either. As long as there's a full service history.

There's probably a $7k difference between my 2009 Lexus IS250 w/ 83,000km on it. Do you guys think it's worth upgrading?

Initially I wanted something a lot more expensive but then thought about spending a little less.

I've read about the common problems on the N54 - how can I make sure that this car doesn't suffer from them, just a prepurchase inspection?

cant avoid those problems , they bound to come one day..
unless they been replaced then you should be good for a while.

Do you guys think purchasing a extended warranty is a good idea then - I think it's $4k for 2 years with Allianz premium (not the used car dealers warranty)?

$4k? Waste of money for that warranty.

Order your parts overseas and take your car to a good independent workshop and you'll be fine. Stay on the forums and you'll learn plenty of stuff for keeping your car on the road for a reasonable amount of money.

You picked a good car. 09'-10' E90 LCI M-sport 335i is the prime N54 years IMO. I bought my 2010 with 17k miles for $37,500 a few years ago. I'd say get the price for less than $30k and pull the trigger. Cars like that won't last long.

The warranty is crucial but that depends on how much modding uou plan on doing.
