burgerking Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Anyone own or can give some advice or opinions on bmw 320 325, year about 2006/2009 am thinking about buying one. There seems to be alot of them out there for sale. Besides the higher service and parts costs, what else should i look out for when trying to buy a good one.

BobTH Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I owned a 5 series BMW in the USA, the 533I. Nice fun car to drive but you hit it on the head, service and parts cost will eat you up. I once paid $1,200 for a new muffler and exhaust pipe, that's 43,230.002 baht. Consider buying something more Thai friendly like the Japanese models. Just my opinion, I have a small Mazda 2 Sport here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 All you have to do is think about all the older BMW's that have Nissan and Toyota engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAS21 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Is it a 320d you are thinking off ... if so google bmw timing chain recall. In fact googling for any problems is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaPhom Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Service history, genuine mileage, spare wheels always seem to disappear. Windscreens expensive, check for cracks. Nothing beats a jap car in Thailand for value, parts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
