Buying a 2012 335is. What should I be looking out for with this model?
Hi all!
Huge BMW enthusiast, but currently driving a Honda. I'm checking out a 2012 335is this weekend and trying to find resources / buyers guides for the 335IS (instead of 335i) but am falling short. I'm trying to understand common pitfalls/failures/issues so I can plan for them ahead of time. Are all the faults of the 335i all present on the 335is? If not, what sort of stuff should I be looking out for? Is there any buyer guide for the 335is model specifically? |

The 335is has the cosmetic differences, the overboost and the upgraded cooling. |

Yep, what he said. Main improvements are dct ( in US) and a little extra cooling- not much else. You effectively get ~3 more years to find an n54 (but not very many).
edit Now having said all that, the b58 doesnt look bad. A tuned low mile 17 or so f30/b58 (modded) would not be a bad option somewhere out a few yrs - especially once BMW has gone lemming in 2020+ http://www.carscoops.com/2017/09/bmw...-all-post.html
