it's going to be over you're head bro. just find something else.

reaper335 · 08-18-2011, 06:50 PM

honestly i don't think you can afford to own this car. brakes, oil changes, air filters, microfilters, ect... if you can hardly afford the car there is no way your going to be able to keep it running

idrift4wd · 08-18-2011, 07:45 PM

i was gunna say, fuck it and go for it... but 100k miles? dam man. your fuel pump warranty is good for another 20k miles. then your SOL. dont do it.

J3NGOe90 · 08-18-2011, 07:49 PM

i think i can afford oil changes and etc.. but im worried about turbos if it was 330 i would buy it without thinking, i never had car with turbos so idk anything about them and how long r they going to last

when i was 16 my first car was 1996 chevy cavalier with 170k, i only had problems with radiator leak

when i turned 17 got suzuki aeiro 5psd with 144k miles no mechanical problems

i think 335i should be fine only thing im worring turbos

anyone here had problems with their turbos?

reaper335 · 08-18-2011, 07:55 PM

turbos, injectors, spark plugs, hpfp.. all expensive things out of pocket

Alpine Whiteboy · 08-18-2011, 08:12 PM

And your previous cars were fine with minimal problems because they were simply NOT a 335...

You will be broke fixing this car... Don't do it, 335's are VERY problematic... Soon as my warranty is up I'm selling this thing, if I don't lemon law it first for breaking down 3 times in under 20k miles...

maristgrad09 · 08-18-2011, 08:13 PM

I would just wait a couple of months to save a little more money. I was in the same situation as you and I figured I would just drive my POS around for exactly a year, and I did. Got a great deal on my car and I didn't make myself completely broke.

Ali.K_BMW · 08-18-2011, 08:41 PM

100k?? jeeeez stay away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

bill1718 · 08-18-2011, 08:41 PM

dnt do it maintance alone youll put your self in debt u can spend 17gs get a sti or evo or g35 something cheaper ur crazy tryn to get a 335i with 100k

Bleep · 08-18-2011, 09:15 PM

I would never ever buy a 335i with 100k miles on it. 17k is kind of expensive too, I've seen 335s with 80k go for the same.

JoeyBananaz18 · 08-18-2011, 10:00 PM

Yeah go sign the papers tomorrow. Then make sure you're taking a personal finance class next semester.

MikeyComputers · 08-18-2011, 10:16 PM

my car had probs at 30k miles and is in and out of the dealer all the time i have 22k+ in repairs under warranty fyi

when my warraty is gone so will my car

PKL · 08-18-2011, 10:18 PM

no way

_shim · 08-19-2011, 12:37 AM

I'd advise not to do it, 100K is a lot of miles, especially for a car like the 335i, which is KNOWN for its problems. All the maintenance and things that could (potentially) go wrong will make you go broke. Wait a little longer, save up some more, and look for one with less miles. It will definitely be worth the wait.

tibra1 · 08-19-2011, 12:42 AM

+1 ..OP for $17K you can get into something nice with alot less miles..
