Is it a good buy?

babaikram · 01-07-2018, 03:49 PM

I am interested in buying this car below with 33,000 miles as my second car (family 3rd). My experience with BMW 6 cylinders are limited but I have had three 4 cylinder diesel BMW. The main reason for buying is to experience the thrill of 6 cylinder BMW. My G30 is new and negative equity is in the region of 5,500 to 8000 if I try to sell it now.

BMW 325I M SPORT CONVERTIBLE N53 3.0 First Registration Date01/03/2012

I believe HPFP, injector and coil issues would have been dealt with before this engine was produced

So what do you guys think of any potential problems?

My 20-mar-2012 build n53 f10 (530i) needed all it's injectors replaced at 40k miles.

Good engine when it's running right though.

Thank you

No problem. If you like the car, buy it and put a mondial warranty on it right away. Should be fairly cheap for the 3 series. Kicks in after a month.

I've got a e93 330i, I love it! Power delivery is great being NA.

As Mike said get the warranty for peace of mind. Mine is about £650 for the year with no excess.
