Hi all,
I am new here and I am looking to buy a 116i soon. I used to have 2010 X3 2.0d auto msport pack years back, had to change transfer case for 4k on it at 100000km, had to order it from germany. But not a tech person in cars, know a little bit
Can someone give me advice on which one would be better in terms of possible breakdowns and things to look out? Advantages/disadvantage under the hood ( excluding the new shape, lux things smoother ride of 8-speed gearbox of newer model). Which one will give me more troubles?
I am considering :
a 2009 22000km E87 about 10k
a 2007 41000km E87 about 7,5/8k
and
2011 /2012 with 27000km/30000km, i am assuming those are F20 as they have the newer shape, about 16,5k
The price difference seems lucrative to buy an older one, but does the older one give more issues?
Thank you for any help,
I have read some of the blogs on 116i topic here, and took out that oil service is about $240to400 every 10000km, what about the bigger services what is the cost on those.
I am located in Christchurch any reference to good service place.
Kind Regards
Anastasiya
