Idea of Value

Recommended Posts

Got my eye on a 2012 320i wagon m-sport, 90k on the clock. Advertised at 15k, good price or too high?

2012 is a model changeover year I believe.

F31 - (newer shape) yes, buy it

E91 - more likely - (old shape) Poor value and a poor engine choice - get a 325i

This is the older E91 shape - this generation 4 cyl 320i motors are not known for their reliability. 325i is same price, more reliable and more powerful.

I think it’s the older model. Looking at the read the lights seem more ‘square’ whereas from what I can gather on the F the lights look wider and less deep

Yeah, most likely - newer shape Msport wagons tend to be more in the mid 20's and up.

E91 is a great shape though, but I would go for a 325i all day.

Post the rego and we can tell you in half a second. Either way, if its a 320i avoid it like the Rona.
