What to look for?

painoz · 07-05-2020, 07:37 AM

Looking at 2011 335I for my daughter. 84k miles. Great shape cosmetically. Dealership closed, so couldn't pop the hood or drive it yet. What should I look for mechanically? I know the N54 well, so will look at VCG, OFHG etc.....anything specific to N55 I should be looking for? I also plan on pulling codes.

Best to ask this in the N55 section

almost all the same things for n54 apply to n55. leaky gaskets, valve cover failure, water pump etc.
