no i did not purchase any addictional warranties except the 6 month powertrain they gave me free !!

Who did you purchase from?

The inline 3 liter engine is pretty much bulletproof so I wouldn't worry much about it.

Nice, congrats!
As mentioned, the naturally aspirated BMW engines have great durability, nothing to worry about as that's still relatively low mileage

ibeclueless · 10-08-2010, 03:54 PM

congrats on your purchase

jopa489 · 10-08-2010, 05:00 PM

Congrats, nice car! Hope to see you around.

Very nice. I hope you know that you are now locked into BMWs for life.

Nice car. Congrats. But you will love and hate jet black. Any scratch is highly visible and washing is due very often. I used to take the car to the local "Mexican" carwash, then I was taking it to local BMW stealer car wash and after seeing more scratches after every wash at both places I had decided to do it myself. But nothing beats jet black when you are done. Lovely car, dont worry and enjoy it.

Nice to see there are others who decided on a 330. Good luck with it. I purchased my first BMW (2006 CPO 330i) last December and I really like this car! This thing really knows how to run. The 255hp does not sound that great as a pure statistic but BMW did it right. The Valvetronic, VANOS, STEPTRONIC is all put together as it should be. This car always has plenty of power and acceleration in reserve. Everything except the RFTs (but let's not get into that). Enjoy--

congrats on the purchase.
like most German cars I've owned its a hit or miss with problems. I got my first BMW back in 2001 (325ci) along with my buddy. I had to bring it back to the dealer to check because the check engine light came on frequently but my friend's bimmer had no issues.
