Lookin at my first 335i tomorrow

Ok I sold my beloved VW 20th nearly a month ago. In the search for a gently used CPO 335i priced reasonably well. I think I may have found one.

I will be lookin into seeing if the HPFP was ever replaced. Either way under CPO it will be covered for 120k from what I understand

Have the service records pulled and take a look at what's been done. It will tell you all you need to know, well; a good amount. Don't rush, there are plenty of 335's out there.

But yes, you will absolutely enjoy it! Then you will want more power, trust me.

Oh yea get a CPO if it's not already, no matter what. Especially with the new waste gate warranty.

Yes turn the wheels to the left and it will be visible on the right side in front of the tire. Looks like vents in a square shape. Can't miss it.

Just got my 335i a month ago , it's a 07 and I am loving it .
It's been at the dealership twice already . One for the vanos units and the cam shaft bearings . Watch out for those . I lost engine power in both . If its cpo ur good , but ask them to change them anyways .

It seems overpriced...it's an 07' with 47k miles - for $26k?

You will love it! I got mine back in April. Moved from an 01 E46 325is to a 09 E90 335i xDrive...man I'm in love! Once you start modding it you can't stop. Gotta have more power! These things are beast. With the right work and tune you will be blowing away M3's in no time! CPO is the way to go! Havn't had any issues other than a lightbulb burning out. Took it in for an oil change and they ended up doing the oil, brake fluid, and micro filters just because BMW said it should be done. All of it was covered under the free maintanence since it's still under factory warranty for another year. Idk about the price. I paid 34,500 for mine 09 335i xDrive CWP 19,000 miles. Worth every penny!

Good Luck!

Car looks clean. Go for it they are incredible machines. Also I believe yours SHOULD have an oil cooler since its a manual. But check anyways. I don't have an oil cooler and I've never overheated so I wouldn't call it a deal breaker. Try to get the car for ~$24k if you can. Good luck.
