Interested In E90

[jimipedia]

Hello guys,

I'm new here. I'm thinking about buying E90 320i/325i/M Sport. I don't know much about BMW but I really like it and having one is like a dream come true.

Could anyone tell me the different between the models above? If I'm just looking for leisure car (I don't drive fast) which model should I consider?

I saw a lot of these models on Mudah (used car companies) and the price range is from 58k to 70k, is this a normal price for these models? Anyone here ever bought any of these car from Mudah and willing to share experience?

What's the average repair or maintenence cost for these cars?

Thank you, really appreciate for any tips.

the cheaper ones are non m-sport e90 and also without i-drive. I personally would not buy a non msport or one without i-drive or a 320i for that matter. just doesn't seem like a bmw to me

if you really want a nice 325i, check this out:-

Thank you for your explaination for each model. Really appreciate it. What do you think about the listings at Mudah, is it worth it or should I avoid it?

I would definitely get one from a member here with full service records and receipts...at least you know the car had a proper TLC, timely serviced with the right parts replaced and less risk of incurring expensive repairs in the future...

A friend of mine bought a e90 325i LCI year 2011 couple of months ago. He paid RM 118k for it directly from the owner. From used car dealers, you are looking at RM 125k for similar model and year.

Thanks Hebert. i think your friend got a pretty good deal there. i see some 2010 private seller posting at RM120-130k
