Need help picking a Car
Hey guys, i need help picking a car i have two options both are 2007 335i e92 but one is from USA AT and one is from germany MT.
1. First one from USA its AT 183k km "Hello, I’m offering for sale my private BMW 335i E92 Coupé from 2007. The car was imported from the USA after a minor front-end collision. I have photos from that time and can send them to anyone interested. I’ve owned the car for 4.5 years – I bought it with 155,000 km, and it currently has 181,000 km. The car has been used both on long trips and in the city. The BMW has undergone several modifications. It has a full stainless-steel sport exhaust system, a charge pipe with a blow-off valve, and MHD Stage 2 software along with a transmission tune. The estimated power output is around 400 hp, although the car hasn’t been tested on a dyno. Over the past few years, I’ve invested quite a lot in the car’s maintenance. The following have been replaced: a full set of injectors (index 12), main bearings, spark plugs and ignition coils, the high-pressure fuel pump, and the water pump. I also reinforced the oil cooler hoses. The suspension has been fully serviced – it has new Sachs shock absorbers front and rear, as well as new control arms and tie rod ends. The car is well-equipped. It features a ZF automatic transmission with F1 paddle shifters, allowing you to change gears with a single paddle (pull for upshift, push for downshift). It also has a sunroof, navigation system (maps not installed), cruise control, rear-wheel drive, and many other features. Of course, as with any 18-year-old car, there are a few minor issues that need attention. The driver’s seat seam is torn, the under-engine cover is missing, and the left fender is cracked – this happened when reversing and hitting a curb. A throttle body issue has also recently appeared – occasionally the car may rev up by itself or stall. After cleaning the throttle body, the problem disappeared for about 2,000 km, so it will probably need to be reconditioned or replaced. Apart from that, the car is fully functional, dynamic, fast, and has no play in the suspension. The car is well-maintained, thoroughly invested in, and ready both for daily driving and for an enthusiast of powerful BMWs." 2. the German One has new clutch, bearings, KW v3 suspention, M-preformance, 370hp, H&R stabilizers, downpipe, chargepipe ignition coils, spark plugs, complete engine sealing. No damage i only have heard that its rear fender has been painted. Its 193k km, Both are the same price and the same color. thanks guys <3 Last edited by kuys; 10-04-2025 at 08:54 AM.. |

When it comes to cars that had multiple previous owners, I recommend looking for one with minimal mods. Typically people who mod their cars abuse them. Additionally most do not want someone else’s project car. They want to build their own.
With manual transmission, there is even more room for abuse when compared to an automatic transmission. The AT is setup to not allow a shift that could lead to engine/transmission damage. After what was mentioned above, I would look for any and all service records. If you take the car to BMW, they can pull the service records. Also, get an inspection from local mechanic. These BMWs can turn into money pits if you are not mechanically inclined. |
