E92 Advice

[vinxter]

Dear All,

I am about to get a year 08' 323i E92 with very low mileage (65k++) from a family friend. However, i would love to know what are the usual things/issues to know of when getting a preloved e92. Also, in a worst case scenario what are the usual repairs that would cost a bomb?

Thanks!

Since you are getting from a friend, it would be advisable to ask your friend what are the things that he have changed over the years.

Take a note of the thing he have change and change the parts that he have not changed.

water hose, thermostat, radiator, GB oil, ATF for power steering, control arm, engine mounting etc

The above parts are wear and tear after 6 years of usage.

water pumps, lower arms, brake pads/discs, shock absorpers are also something which need to change after 6 years. Check if your friends has done that.
