Looking at a BMW 335i e92 2008 model

[B1gw1ll]

Hi Guys

I have been driving my 120d e87 2005 model for the last 7 years and it had its ups and downs but still going strong.

I was looking around on Gumtree Cape Town and saw this BMW 335i e92 2008 model for sale and close to where I stay.

I spoke to the dealer and asked him if I could come have a look at it on Saturday. Want to see if I could get in & out of the car myself due to my limited physical movement.

Just would like know if this is a good idea. Any advice on what to look out for. Price good? I'm in no rush to buy another car, and I'm a big fan of the e92 shape :=):

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks Guys :ty:

If you set on getting a 335i, I would rather go the non convertible route, and get something a little newer. Also, keep in mind your fuel bill will more than double

I would get the Coupe over the vert. 300kg weight saving. Price seems decent.

Hey dude, I'd go the coupe route. Getting in and out of the car is the same as, if not easier, than getting in an out of an E82.

If you're looking at N54 335i's, one of the people most well-versed in N54 know-how is selling his. The car's meticulously maintained and anything people would advise you to 'be weary' of with these cars, has already been taken care of. Here's the for sale thread, the car is a quite a bit further away from you than the one you originally posted, but the price and condition more than make up for this, along with the age difference:
