I am buying modded 328i, please advice
Hi guys I need little help.
I am buying 328i with custom paint job and car has sport rear bumper and double exhaust. Carfax is clean, but history began from 6,331 miles : Listed as a manufacturer vehicle Sold at auction Carfax said the car still has almost 2 years/20k miles warranty. My questions are: 1. Will warranty still apply if car has custom paint job and different bumper + exhaust??? 2. Car located in different state, can i verify if BMW will CPO this car??? 3. Why car history began from 6k miles?? Car was used as demo car on dealership??? 4. Car has check engine light "on". Dealer told that he will take care of it when i will buy a car. wtf??? They should did it before they put car on sale! |

I know the truth hurts, but the 328i is an inferior, poor-performing, wannabe 335i. The first step is accepting this and taking the steps necessary to get a proper 3-series. Or, you can just continue to fool yourself into thinking that your slow 328i is a cool car.

I cant believe that you guys turned even THIS into a 328 vs 335 thread. The 328i isn't "trying to be" or a "wannabe," it's a fucking all-around car and the 335i is the same car which happens to have a more powerful engine. Each one does what they do. They were never meant to compete with each other. |

I believe CPO basically is the same as BMW's silver extended warranty + an inspection and make sure all things are up to spec.... but in your case, since the car is modded, chances are no dealer is going to CPO this car

2. If you're buying the car from a BMW dealer then it's up to them to determine if the car is CPO or not. if you're not buying from a BMW dealer then it's not going to be CPO 3. probably was a demo car. 4. says a lot about the care and condition of the car Based on #3 and #4 I would stay away from this car. Plus, paint job could mean that the car has been in an accident. Clean Carfax doesn't mean shit because only accidents that are reported to the police and/or insurance are going to show up. If someone wrecked the car and didn't get a ticket and didn't claim insurance, it's not going to be on the Carfax

"take care of it" means he will reset the ECU so the light doesn't come back on until you drive it off the lot and you're almost home.
