Fellow members,

I have a good friend looking at a used 325. Below are the specs:

BMW 325i
2006
Millage 42000
White out
Black leatherette
CD, no navigator, everything standard
4-door Price: $16000.

The owner told me they recently replaced the tires, battery, and brakes. This car will be brought sight unseen.


I have no experience buying used BMW. What questions should I be asking? Is this a reasonable price? Any known issue with the 325i?

Thank you and merry xmas

i traded my 06 325 in, in july. what your saying sounds good i think $18 is top dollar, so 16 sounds fair. as far as problems, mine had 80k miles and ran like new, the new battery is a good thing in my experience you need a new one every 4 years or so.

thats fair, n52 solid with very low miles

Sounds good. Looking around, '06 325i goes for 14k- 18k (depending on condition, mileage) so assuming everything looks good when you see it, 16k should be ok. Currently my 325 is over 100k and still runs like a champ.

NA engines have long life. Does your friend want a bimmer to mod or just as something he wants to commute in? That's where it comes down to...

either way, $16k is a pretty fair price. I'd see if your friend can finance [if that's what he's doing] through his own banking institution and offer $16k out the door.

Thanks for all the advices. I don't think she will be modding the car other than tint

The car is due for the 45k service. Cost?

got mine in april for more than that and i got 75K miles on the dash, so yea pretty fair deal.
