2010 E92 335i xDrive Coupe (First Time Buyer!)

kinggr · 09-05-2020, 12:31 AM

Hey all,

I've been a BMW fan for a while and recently graduated from college. Very soon, I will be commuting to work and wanted to fulfill my desire of finally purchasing a BMW! I've been eyeing F30 328i's throughout college, but the I4 just didn't impress.

I just found this E92 335i xDrive with the N55 engine for about $13,000 with almost 55,000 miles.

I have done extensive research on the F30's because I planned on getting one of those, however, prices have inflated since the pandemic and I find the prices to be too high for an I4. I would prefer to pick something up temporarily, such as this 335i and drive it for maybe 2-3 years until I'm more financially stable to get something such as an M340i.

I know this N55 was in the F30 335i as well, but I just wanted insight on what you all thought. Worth test driving it tomorrow? It seems dirt cheap to me. It has 1 owner and no damage/accidents. Downside is silver exterior, but hey the price is pretty good.

I appreciate it all!

I just decoded the VIN, unfortunately for me its running an N54, not an N55. I'm not sure if I'm going to purchase at this point due to reliability concerns. It has clean carfax, though the report lacks service history (could've been maintained at an indy shop/garage).
