2011 328i xdrive with high miles?

Badmon · 06-07-2016, 10:50 AM

Im looking at purchasing a 2011 328i xdrive coupe with 131,250 miles. Are there any known problems to occur in the future or present if I were to purchase it right now? I just don't want a headache like my last lemon purchase of a 2009 e92 that I had for 2 days. Thanks.

Get a pre-purchase inspection(PPI) somewhere reputable is my suggestion to avoid getting another lemon. What's the price on it if I may ask? Just curious

If it comes with a stack of maintenance records, why not

High miles cars can be a gamble. I agree with the above post recommending PPI. Luckily, since you are investing in 328i instead of 335i, there is less that can go wrong.

I would suggest you go look at the car in person, and get a feel for the owner. There is a big difference between 130K miles from 16-year-old drag racer vs. 60-year-old librarian. Either way, good luck and I hope you find a good one this time
