The only thing about that car is the Km is very high :fencelook:

Why don't you ask the guy for the VIN number, go to BMW agent and ask them to give you the history of the vehicle. That should give you an indication on what problems it had. Also, if you decide to take it, make sure you get someone(BMW Mechanic) to give it a once over to give you peace of mind.

Why would some downgrade from a E90 to a E46?

I understand you want the E90 but why would the current owner of the E90 downgrade? Is there something he not telling you?

Just my 2 cents bud. Good luck.

The E90 owner is a retired man.
He is looking for some thing smaller. Thats what he said

But thats is a good question why would you down grade??

The problem is the car is in Mosselbay and i am in Cape Town i cant view the car. Saw photos only

Nothing much smaller between the cars except the 318 less powerful but probably heavier on fuel.

260 000kms on a Diesel is bound to have problems.

Injectors is quiet to be very expensive to replace.

Mileage is a bit scary for me :fencelook:

Radyn does the E90 have 260k km? If so, walk away and look for something else. You might find others for less mileage and year model and package.
