malus139 5 Report post Posted February 28, 2015 Hi guys Car recently got stolen and am looking at another BMW, 9kish-10k (will stretch further for the right car). Fairly picky, have a few options lined up thought I'd ask on here preferably: - Larger engine (2.5+ may consider e90 in smaller forms) - Manual/Auto not too fussy but manual would be preferred - Coupe - Current wof/reg - Fairly straight body condition. - M sport (of course ) I know my budget I'm being fairly picky, worth a shot . PM me if there's anything out there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B.M.W Ltd 950 Report post Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Am leaning towards E90 320i (Newer shape in my budget . Don't even consider one of these pieces of sh*t. They recycle oil and water all over our high ways , your garage, your drive way and my workshop for our grandchildren to acknowledge that BMW was into recycling. Maybe BMW think all this sh*t going into our drains and storm water canals is one of the appropriate ways to do this Go for a E46 or E90 6 cylinder version Edited March 2, 2015 by B.M.W Ltd 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2312 Report post Posted March 2, 2015 So, 4 cylinder E90s are the devil? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMTHUG 942 Report post Posted March 2, 2015 From a mechanical perspective the 4 cylinder e90s are prone to oil leaks. The 6 cylinders are prone to longevity except waterpump failure and rocker cover gasket leaks on the odd occasion which should be a maintenance item. I suggest you go for a 6 cylinder in the e46 and e90 variants. 2.5 or more 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dkonsta1 109 Report post Posted March 3, 2015 Have a look at my 328ci if you like the color combinations. It is 1999 though but I bet much better condition inside out than any newer ones I have seen. I might go for a Benz oldtimer so the e46 will go at some stage. Cheers 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
