Buying an used beamer 323i

[vtac82]

Hi guys,I have been wanting to buy a beamer for the longest time. I was eyeing at 2009 models with minimal k but after calculation and reasoning with my inner rationaile, I decided it was above my budget.I then reduced my expectation and am now looking at 3 2007 models. My want is the 320d but there isn't many around with low ks but I have found one 323i 2007 model with about 57k mileage.Xenon lights is a must for me and i see 320d 2007 does not have xenon?Any advise to me or should I wait for a few more years with savings? I can't bear of the thought of driving my boring honda for a few more months!!Thanks guys,Victor

Hi Victor, sounds like we are in the same shoe (car)......

I am newbie, other than the cc what attracts you to 323 than 325 or 320....hope you can share...cheers

I then reduced my expectation and am now looking at 3 2007 models. My want is the 320d but there isn't many around with low ks but I have found one 323i 2007 model with about 57k mileage.

Xenon lights is a must for me and i see 320d 2007 does not have xenon?

bro the 320d's are msport versions, and come with bixenon lights.
the 320d is a completely different beast compared to the 323.
if you're after comfort and the idrive, get the 323.
if you're after performance and a naughty smile on your face after every drive, get the 320d. look into the e9x threads to read more about comparisons and common issues with the 320d vs the 323/325.

have fun on your search. i'd keep looking for the 320d, which started to sell here in 2009, i believe. 2012 is not far away, and you might find one in your budget range soon enough.

and oh, you might wanna put a post into the newbie section with some info of yourself soon. otherwise, might kena tembak!

I thot the E90 323i was only launched in 2009..... only available after the LCI...

The 320d beats the 323i hands down -if you like always driving into petrol stations to fill up-buy the323i. With the 320d, a full tank takes you almost 1000km. Some more, it drives like a 911! Try your best to find a single 320d owner who is not happy with his car in this forum-ZILCH! We all are crazy about the car! The only thing better is the 325d with 6 cylinders.....we hear rumours in the air it may be brought into M'sia soon by BMW....

Might be easier to help you if you gave your actual budget? also, if you are getting a 2007 BMW, be prepared to spend up to 5k for replacing wear and tear parts, depending on the milege
