| I'm interested in buying a 2007 335i CPO. Considering it's already mid-Oct, do think there will be a a drastic price difference between now and Jan 2010? | |

Hey all you 3 series owners. has anyone ever exceeded 500K miles... I have! and Im here to to tell you there is no one on this plannet that can tell me this isn't the Utilmateachine. I owned a 325i 4 dr manual.....I acutually never had any problem. I live in the Calif. L.A. area, my mechanic South Bay Indepednat bmw in Gardena...they are the best. when I needed an oil change, they check everything.... I never took this car to a dealer...and I purchased it used with 60K already on it and no history report back in the day. I kept oil changes and service routinely.... Never needed a trans, and did not ever have a clutch until I gave it to my sister and to honest she drove it a yr longer and traded for a 530. at that time the only thing was happening the trunk started to leak when it rained. Im sold, no matter what I will probably never own another brand... although the benz is started to look alittle more snazzy.... NAWwww! can't do it. Love yu beemer lovers Im picking up a 540il tomorrow used one owner 161K miles- clean.....MIles do not scare me. that is if it has been taken care of.

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 24, 2009 7:41 am) I had 1987 4 dr, let me see if I can find one in my old photos and copy and past I did not ever recall having a clutch replaced... Maybe when I purchase it with the existing miles the shop already put a new one... Don't know, But I just did nit have any problems. I never did any of that down shifting, I never rode my clutch... Because I was taught not to. once I gave it to my sister she had to replace it. That is what baffles me so much when hear other people always having a clutch problem. The learned now to drive astick on a 911 or 914 porsche....those gears are so close together that you could really strip them fast.

Hi, I purchased a certified 2007 328i in the North Bay area on 11/30/09. It had 18400 miles, with auto and metallic paint being the options. It was listed for $25,900 and I got it for $25,000. I obtained 0.9% financing thru BMW financing. Of interested, BMW is paying the first two months car payments. I had to tweak my payment schedule to maximize my monthly payments to get "more money" out of BMW. The max monthly payment was $863; thus BMW picked up an extra (approx) $1700. My final price was about $23,300. I wanted to finish payments in 24 months, but BMW financing forced me to get a 36 month loan term. If someone is planning to buy one, the max BMW will pay is $1000 per month, so you could save $2000 if you buy a more expensive car. Also, rightly or not, I purchased an extended free maintenance schedule to cover me for the full 6 yrs. The finance guy initially offered it at $3095, but apparently you can negotiate this by 'bidding' on the computer. The lowest offer was $2000, and I took it. Considering the brakes and minor work on my Acura cost $800, at 30,000 miles, I may recoup my investment. Also, I test drove a 335i with the sport package, and while the engine was great, the ride is a bit punishing on anything but perfect roads. I just love the way my standard 328 rides and the engine is more than enough for me. Hope this helps someone save some money. Cheers. |
