Hi group,

I've just been perusing the forum looking for a post that lists known issues and things to check when looking to buy a used E90. The one I'm looking at is 2008 BMW 320I Executive Steptronic E90 MY08 Sedan.

If someone knows of a post like this, please share a link as I haven't been able to find one.

Cheers!

engine oil leaks:
valve cover gasket
oil filter housing gasket
rear main seal
oil pan gasket

transmission:
fluid ever changed?
mechatronic sealing sleeve leaking?

other weird shit:
water pump and thermostat (would need to check codes or see if recently replaced)
window regulators
power door lock actuators
oc3 seat sensor

what is the mileage? depending on the mileage you may need other things like plugs or coils

do you like paul hogan? is fosters popular?

Hahaha... Fosters' is American marketing at its best!

Wow... maybe I'll skip this one.

all the e90 cars pretty much share these same issues. sooner or later most of that shit will likely go out on an e90. so don't skip a car just because things can break, a lot of it is DIY and the gaskets are cheap. look at the bright side, its not a 335, so no HPFP (fuel pump) or turbo wastegate issues.
