What do you guys think of this 335i? I’m bmw newbie.

oneabe · 03-25-2019, 10:49 PM

I’ve been looking to get a bmw with an n54/n55 engine and I found this 335i. A friend knows a bmw tech who will look at it, but I wanted to see if anyone else had any advice or thoughts. Thanks

Check for all maintenance records and recalls that were done. Seems like a good deal to me tho. I’d still talk them down on price no matter what tho.

Noooooooooooooo to this car, it doesn't have Sport or M-Sport package,

Cream interior...no thanks

I wouldn't touch that car, shitty options for that price & miles.

Its a nice looking car and if you plan on staying stock, will work. The facts above stand in regards to missing sport option etc.
All that said, it is over-priced substantially IMO for what it is - that is a fact, the rest is up to you.

GL!

Staying stock? It's clear the car has already been modified.

A 17k non M E9X needs to have every option checked off. This car does not even have logic 7 or comfort access.

MEN54 · 03-26-2019, 01:25 PM

and low quality audio system as well, no no to this car

everyone over here talking about all these options and missing the fact that the previous owner tried to make this a fake m3 all round. run buddy

I see wheels, hood, bumper and it says exhaust - to me that's not modded. That's an appearance package at best.

I was referring to doing some mods to produce more power. It will need an oil cooler to keep things healthy long term and it looks to have a stock suspension which will need an upgrade as well if a decent amount of power is added.

Very overpriced, IMO. I bought a 2010 335ix last week, comfort access, some sport options, non-M, with 126k kms (78k miles) for $12,500 CAD. $10k USD. I'd keep looking if I were you.
