How to buy a used BMW 3 Series (F30) - Buying advice | Common problems | Parts pricing 

😂

For real

Nice probably FSH

My 320i n20 has 203k km and still drives like a dream.

@@faadilcajee3640 that car is nothing short of outstanding 👌

What's your secret?​@@faadilcajee3640

My dad has one too with 325 000 km and everything is solid, never had any major issues. Just the water pump twice and fuel pump once, other than that its been oil changes, spark plugs and the coil maybe 2 or 3 times

Same here

If owned a 320i 2013 model which I bought with 21000km and sold in 2020 when it had 123000km. The only thing outside of tires and petrol I spent on the car was servicing it at 10000km and the other service was done under motorplan, spent R300 per month on an aftermarket warranty when I reached 100 000km. These are VERY strong cars and will give you street cred. If you can find a 2019 model that is still under motorplan you will have hit the jackpot coz you can extend the warranty at BMW for about R550 per month for an extra 2 years. When I sold my 2013 model, I got a 2019 model same colour but with more features. Have never spent anything on it except now when I am paying R550 for an extra 2 years warranty. Get a 2019 model under warranty, before you buy, take it to BMW for an inspection and if they confirm the motorplan, sign the dotted line and extend the warranty when the manufacturer plan expires. You won’t regret it.

Didn't recognise him at first the overgrown bear & lack of glasses caught me offguard😂

Lovely indeed

My 320i LCI does 5.5 litres per 100km on the highway so I get 1000km on a full 60ltr tank. Town driving I get about 7.5 litres per 100km max…but I drive normal, no burnouts 😂. These are efficient cars

@@tatendak dude you gotta feel the torque on the 330d. Over 900km on a tank and 0 to 100 in like 5.5

Also had a 320d, I was surprised to get over 1100km on a full tank. It felt like a dream since I had previously own a C280 which was so thirsty 🙆‍♀️

Whoa....you serious?! No way man....😲

We have the same and it's at 260000km still running like new

60k for 8yrs, she's definitely not a person for long distances.

@@senzomgoduka2646 yes plus she lives & works with a 7kms radius.

With better picture quality

Ignition is boring.

I love the N55

I co-sign this. B58 is an awesome machine....😎

The ad is open again if you are still interested...

I was also trying to decide whether I should buy the 2.0 corolla xr or the f30 320d. I am leaning more to the 320d as it is cheaper and more fun to drive.

Wow I never that , with that info you dished out the beemer seems like an attractive option

If you are ever looking for price estimates on parts, the Goldwagen site is great. Sorry we didn't get to the oil pump price for you.

should be opting for diesel on a 4 cylinder bimmer anyway

Have any data to back that claim up? I see many high mileage N20s still with original chains.

@@robertoandrada considering i owned one for 8 years until it failed on me is all the data you will get.

Wrong, in 2014 BMW still used the N20 engine

Facts. Best car I ever owned

Can I humble ask sir how much did u pay and where did u do it?

@alexhadebe4079 it was about 16k at SHW Automotive in Goodwood who did a great job!

Definitely. That's the one to go for bulletproof engine

R150k

Name and shame the dealership.

@@pakowame4737 they are at Jhb north, William Nicole drive.

It is not the cars fault but the dealership, I am not buying a dealership, I am buying the car, tomorrow Toyota can give you bad service then what?

@@justindaniel5959 correct, it's the dealership and not their cars. My view, if they are treating me like this, and I'm not even a customer, I'm not going to spend my money there.

How is it that true....i bought e39/46 as uses no major mechanical issues just normal wear and tear...Best advice is frequent oil service and use of quality parts ...this goes for any car from corolla to buggati

You have no idea what you are talking about. The only trouble in my life is your wife that does not want leave me alone😂😂

And a GTI 😝

How is that so.....any car requires maintenance

Yes it is. Best car I ever owned

Facts

They do both

How is this an ad? Which car brand will pay someone to tell the public what goes wrong with their car?

Why do you recommend a diesel?

I bought used back then and cars drives well even they are over 20 years old ...the thing is maintenance this goes for all cars
