Need buying advice!
I am down to two 2009 models to purchase:
#1 2009 328i Coupe 49,850 miles Premium Package Sport Package (18" tires) Space Gray/Dakota Gray Navigation NOT CPO $22,900 #2 2009 328xi Coupe 17,000 miles Premium Package Sport Package (17" tires) Space Gray/Cream Beige NO NAV This IS CPO $29,900 Would it better to pay more for the 328xi CPO with less mileage, even though it's not a "real" sport package/suspension, and also has no navigation? Or is it an acceptable risk to buy the higher mileage 328i WITH sport package, 18" rims, NAV, and No CPO (pretty much out of warranty)? |

If the car first choice is still under factory warranty you can just extend the warranty on it, usually around 3k? Its under 50k miles, all it's down to now is whether 3 years has passed. The first choice is definitely more well equipped than the second choice.

Go with number one and purchase a good aftermarket extended warranty. I got a 3yr, 30k miles for $2500 that covers everything incl valve cover gaskets, electronics, etc.

I have warranty for my 328i. Gives me a peace of mind that if anything goes wrong, I will be covered.
Peace of mind is priceless.

My wife has the gray interior on her bimmer, and it's nice and cool (relatively speaking, of course.) So a light interior is my choice. Thanks for the input! |

Because $2500-3000 is alot of money and 328i is fairly reliable. And for a warranty thats only 30k miles, chances are you will not even use it. Also 3rd party warranties always try to scam you. If you can do little things yourself and find a decent BMW shop (not dealer), you should be ok.

Yeah, its tricky. I used warranty on my M3 and on my 335i for new turbos, but I havent used it on my Audi A4 and they say 328s are more reliable

I would buy warranty for 335i for sure, 328i's are pretty reliable in comparison. I just like to take precaution cause I know these 3ers are a pain to fix lol.
