Need your purchasing advice on a 2010 CPO with new engine

J. Dub · 08-11-2015, 08:09 PM

Found a 2010 2 door 335I with red interior and 73021 miles on it.
New motor put in by an extremely reputable dealership I trust. Last motor blew a rod apparently.

Still under CPO until November 2016 or 100000 miles.

The motor is 335 miles old.

Comes with:
Nav
M sport package
Convenient package
Back up sensors
Automatic

Buyer is asking $22k

What should I offer him?
It has no mods except exhaust.

Should I be worried about New motor?
I've driven it and it rides well.

I assume the motor was replaced by a BMW dealer under the regular/CPO warranty. If so, I wouldn't be worried.

How many miles were on the car when it was replaced? Do you have service records since then?

If the motor was put in by a BMW dealership id trust it. Last time I was in my SA was telling me about some M6 motors that there were replacing that day

Yes replaced just 335 miles ago by bmw under cpo. Sadly it doesn't come with warranty since owner had it done by cpo and didn't come out of pocket. Apparently bmw does not add additional warranty or any warranty on New motor if car is still under cpo

J. Dub · 08-11-2015, 09:05 PM

I just don't know what to offer him on this vehicle.

One question to ask? If the motor was just replaced why is it up for sale so soon? You would think someone who just got a new motor would enjoy it for awhile.

My only assumption is he's scared. And his cpo is up in a year.
He mentioned needing a suv but I always take those sellers comments with grain of salt.

But I agree. Tomorrow it will be in the bmw dealership and I'm paying for inspection.

Yeah..see what they say..if you got a year CPO that is good...and if it drives well and sounds good it might be a good thing...I mean, generally engines don't go out--it's all the other stuff..but you would have a year to give it a whirl and hopefully not be chasing demons inside that one.

I concur with this.
I shall offer him $18k

No offense, but you should re read the introductory post.

A 335 with 335 miles on the motor?

Either eerily coincidental or someone was having fun with the mileage meter.

I just had my turbos replaced under warranty at 68k and I'm seriously contemplating selling it.

It's funny, when I met him it rolled over 335 miles. Now that he's home it has more.

How come?

Because BMW, n54 in particular, but mind you this is not my first BMW and I work part time in a shop that repairs them.
The shop owner calls the n54 an oil fountain and new BMW actors, both quite self-explanatory.

Shoot, why would you even think of selling with a gig like that--at least you have friends that will be legit with you about what you need to do and hopefully give you the best price in town on a fix.

I'm sure we all have heard the saying about the hot super model and at least one guy tired of f**king her.

Good analogy---you could have a hot girlfriend who is a bmw tech and one day say fuck this--I'm tired of having to have sex for her to fix my car.

Yes I've read many things that have worried me about this engine... I just can't seem to find any car that does it for me like what bmw produces

Well by that I mean turbo, rwd, adaptive headlights, seatbelt butler, sunroof, intuitive navigation system, great tactile feedback on interior buttons, etc...

Turbo>all suffer from waste gate rattle and some from seals and cooked oil lines
Rwd>negative=no lsd, possitive=mt available
Ahl>modules fail, when replaced require coding, many just code them out
SeatBelts>If you are referring to e92 I'm yet to see one that functions 100%
Sunroof>Rarely some need to be reset but drains get clogged causing leaks
Idrive>no for older e9x yes for newer but better without>less items to break
Interior>honestly e9x is primitive compared to competitors especially Audi

If you want the car go get it, that's the bottom line.
