125i F20 A/T Advice

[AceRally]

Hi guys, I'm considering a 2012 125i Sports Auto as it's a car I really fancy. It has about 33000 KM. I have gone through some threads here that referenced the model. I asked dealer to show me the motorplan history and some of the things that stood out were:

- OIL PIPE. EXHAUST TURBOCHARGER (ATL) LEA at 31900 KM for R4182
- REWORK CORROSION PROTECTION at 23482 KM for R606
- HORN/EMERGENCY CURRENT SIREN/ANTITHE 28508 KM for R681

There's also a 'speakers permanent failure' on the list, all were covered by motorplan mostly and warranty here and there. The rest of the list is mainly standard service items.

I will call dealership for more details but I wanted to know from others here what you think of the vehicle and if it won't give me too much trouble to worth the purchase price. Thanks.

Regarding the last point... You never mentioned a price so we aren't sure if it will be worth the purchase price

About R270 000, private deal.

Agree, at 270k its a steal!

Btw - the corrosion item on the list was a standard recall if I remember right

Thanks guys for your views, I checked with other dealers as well using VIN number and there's no comments on the car...everything seems ok otherwise.

That sounds like a great price, certainly didn't find any at that price when I was looking!

Thanks, ja it is a great price. I think the key is to find a private seller and negotiate as this is not the original price he had advertised for.
