'09 328 purchase advice
My 22yo daughter needs a new car. The dealer we're working with (dad of a friend of hers, not BMW dealer), has a 2009 328 with 49,xxx miles. Auto, no other options.
Wondering if there are any issues we should be looking for. Carfax clean, one owner. Service records from BMW only has last oil change on 6/11, but could have been done at a non-dealer. Had an '08 335 before our current M3, but I know the problems I had with my 335 don't apply to the 328 (HPFP, injectors, etc. ). Thanks |

OP, I would be concerned about it not being serviced since '11, especially with so many miles on the clock. Why would you pay to service it elsewhere when it can be done for free at a dealer? |

BMW dealer here quoted me $2530 for BMW gold warranty to 6 yrs/100k, $2980 for 7/100, doesn't seem worth it. Extended maintenance $2095 for 2 yrs, also will pass. |

Have the brakes, battery, and belts checked and maybe post/search in the non turbo engine /drivetrain/ exhaust section.

Yea, I get it now. I was just thinking maybe the prior owner wasn't near a BMW dealer so he did it on his own, trying to get the person selling the car to see if there are any records. Either way, should be able to get BMW to do a free service, since there's nothing in their records.
