Re: Buying a 2nd Hand 3 Series
Brought a Dec 05 320 at $70K+ recently. The price of the 320 has dropped significantly as compared with end of last year where a similiar car would cost $80K+.
However, please go for a more reputable used car dealer such as PPSL, even though it costs slightly more. After taking over the car, the repair works like oil and coolant leakage already costed me $1.6K and now the air-con compressor is also failing, estimated cost exceeding $2K. The extra cost will give you a peace of mind and also 1 year extended warranty.

Re: Buying a 2nd Hand 3 Series
Hi guys,
I am also int in a pre-owned E90. I am getting a bit confused by the 320i and 320XL. I know 320XL is the higher spec version, but what exactly is the diff? I was told by a staff at PPSL that XL only started from 2007 model year onwards.
Anyone able to shed some light?

XL means Xenon Light, which normally comes with the so called higher spec variant when PML package their car. However, must check with the dealer exactly what comes as factory fitted options for the car that you wish to purchase. From batch to batch, there are factory options included and excluded by PML especially when PML playing with their pricing.

Hi archee,
You mean your oil and coolant leakage was fixed free of charge at ppsl? Or you still have to pay for the repairs? What does the 1 year warranty cover from PPSL?
Thanks

Re: Buying a 2nd Hand 3 Series
hi guys, a question. I have a friend whose car got into an accident (hit wall), and the bonnet was crushed. It will be repaired by PML at a high cost and those areas repaired will be covered under 1 year warranty.
Do you think it is advisable for me to buy the car 2nd hand from her?

Re: Buying a 2nd Hand 3 Series
Hi,
I saw a listing on sgcarmart for an E46 2004 330 white coupe with a vorsteiner body kit (bonnet painted white and boot left unpainted). Anyone knows the background of this car? It's been changed from the original auto gearbox to a manual gearbox. How reliable it would be to buy?
