Buying a 335i Sedan

[HellfireZA]

So I've been going around a few BMWs of late and I've found myself at a 335 which I'm very close to buying. I'd just like some knowledge from you guys on a few things, phoned Auto Atlantic and SMG Cape Town on their recommendations and got various prices sent to me.

I'm looking at a 2008 335i, it has 60k on the clock.

Who services BMWs down here in CPT that doesn't charge and arm and a leg like the dealers and what type of maintenance am I looking at cost wise ruffly, I can't seem to find a service sheet/manual online so if someone has that, I'd love to take a look. Thanks guys.

I can suggest Garage 808 in Bellville.

That year model would probably set you back around R250k. The safest option is to extend your motor plan. Last time I time I checked there are two options i.r.o mp extension, i.e you can extend for time or mileage. Mileage is quite expensive but if you extend for MP for a year it should cost around R15k. This can only be done twice though as far as I know

Not sure of the actual maintenance costs out of motor plan but some of the componants on the N54 are hugely expensive. I suggest you read up on some of the common problems with the N54 models. Issues with the hpfp are common with these cars.
PM your email address and I will send you the maintenance schedule
