The second one seems like a better buy, but def wrong bumper,

Eish man, cheap isn't always better,

you need to consider what was done,

sure thing you will need to change is Damper pulley,
check for oil leaks and turbo leaks,
Shocks
disc and pads,

its costly to repair/replace,

my advise, wait for one to be sold on this forum, or ask around for someone who recommends a sale,

Or buy from a reputable dealer like Mcarthy or empiral or something

There was an awesome pre lci sold on the forum few weeks ago. "Merlot" (maroon/crimson) colour as the owner called it.

Now that was a stunner. Bit more expensive than the budget you mention here, bit if I were in your shoes I'd rather spend a tad more and know what you are getting.

Must be very careful, you don't want a lemon and end up with a 100k car parked off as it has too many issues.. The E90s out there are getting rough.. I was looking at a 2007 E92 335i as a project and I realized to do it right I was probably better off with a written off shell or a very expensive well maintained one as it will cost the same if not more to get it sorted. My 2c.

Damper pulleys I did twice on my E46 330d. They break approx every 100000 Kay's
