Going To Buy A Car 2nd Hand

[AlexLah]

Hi all,

Going to buy a car, I have 1.5 Million budget.

My eye is on a 2004 BMW 330I ( M-styled).

From experience I know the BMW has some problem with front wheels (bearings).

Do you know of any other problems that might occur?

Kinds regards,

Alex

Nice choice! Some folks warn about electrical issues but I never had any with mine. Overall it was extremely reliable- only issue was with some brake noise which I had fixed.

Before I bought my car (also used) I agreed with the seller to take it to Millennium BMW for a servicing and to check to see if they could find anything wrong- which the buyer would need to fix. Nothing out of the ordinary was found except they pointed out the tires would need to be replaced soon, which I had already seen.

Overall it was a great car to own and I'd buy another one, even though the latest model's styling is less attractive IMHO.

This car has issues with front suspension. Be sure to get the transverse control arms or wishbones checked out. They all go within 50.000 to 100.000 km on German roads..... Cost is about 400 Euros to replace both. There is a heavy duty replace from "Meyle". Not sure if they are available in TH though.

Thanks for your replies, they are very much appreciated!

Will let it check by Millenium cars before I sign the final agreement.
