#6953 of 6997 Thougts and Advice by dittykb Aug 31, 2007 (10:18 am)
First, I'm thinking about buying the following vehicle that has a clean Carfax history, one owner, end of lease.   2006 330i 4 door auto Black/Black Sport Package 35000 miles $28000   1. Does this sound like a good deal? 2. Should I extend the maintenance warranty to 6/100,000 for $1600? 3. I only want to keep the car for 2-3 years or 80,000 miles which ever happens first, is there anything major that I should expect during that time?   Thanks a bunch!

Replying to: dittykb (Aug 31, 2007 10:18 am) 1. Does this sound like a good deal?   It doesn't sound too bad, but I don't follow the market that closely. Why not ask over in the "Real-World Trade-In Values" topic.   2. Should I extend the maintenance warranty to 6/100,000 for $1600?   Not if you are only going to keep it to 80K.   3. I only want to keep the car for 2-3 years or 80,000 miles which ever happens first, is there anything major that I should expect during that time?   Not really; at 60K the car will need the major service which BMW calls an Inspection II. It costs from $500-$700 depending on where you live and who performs the work. You might need brakes as well- $250-$500 an axle subject to the previously mentioned variables. I'd also figure in a couple of oil changes -which is a dead easy DIY procedure- and that's about it. I'd be extremely surprised if the maintenance/repair costs exceeded $50/month from 35K-80K.

I recently bought a 2006 325i (CPO). I really like my car! However, when I move from a complete stop the car is not as quick as I would like it to be.   I certainly feel there is at least one second gap before it picks up. The salesman says I am not imagining things and it is by design which he calls 'speed by wire' or something.   Is this true? Does anyone else experience the same with their 2006 3-series sedans?
