Should I be weary of anything?

Hey guys,

Im going to go test drive, and hopefully buy an 08 335Xi sedan. That being said, is there anything that is well known to be an issue(s) that I should look for when I take it for a spin/look around? Its loaded to the max and is a MT if that helps narrow anything down. I appreciate and and all help!

Thanks, Austin

I know you were asking about issues but to start. That car has a lot of miles for the price. I wouldn't pay over 25 for a car like the one listed, it also has leatherette which I'm not sure if you noticed or care about.

I have an 09 sedan and along with the update I also think they worked out problems like the injectors that some cars were having. The hpfp seems to have been virtually fixed with the new pump. Overall if you're looking for a car out of warranty I would not spend more than 25 then find a respectable warranty company and spend 2k to get coverage to 100k.

Good luck
