Well, at least it will get you laid.

If you are in Europe, read buyers guides and go for it. Think there was an issue with the 4pot petrol E90s with the timing chain, get a 6. Cheap parts, everyone knows how to work on them, and loads of information online.

If you are in America, don't. Parts are crazy expensive there and the cars are less well made than the ones we get for some reason.

Top tier car for Rodges everywhere

>>17072237
Get an Alfa instead.

If you're looking at used beamers and your budget is 10-13k you can't afford a beamer.

>Can you give me a good tips on model choice, overall tips etc. on buying a used BMW?
I have one. DON'T.

The current owner will be obliged to give you the BMW lobotomy himself, and he's not a qualified technician in a dealership environment. You'll probably get an infection.

Dont touch a BMW

>very low tier reliability
>injects fake engine noises into cabin
>gearbox is shit

Just get a Honda, pretty much better in every way for your money

10-13k is the range of a mint E36 M3 or an average 335i lol

>>17076957
10-13k for an E36 is overpriced and for 335i you are going to get a piece of shit lmao

please let the people who actually know things about cars handle this and go back to posting riced out shitboxes in other threads

>>17076964
Lol if you find any manual E36 M3s under 10k that aren't garbage or verts, let me know. I wouldn't mind another one

Lol samefag
How do you reckon it's ruined? Looks normal lol

>>17072237
Take it to mechanic you trust, if your mileage is over 100k have them look into fuel filter system on the car, my e90 had a problem where it was leaking gasoline very slowly. Cost about 700$ to fix, but I didn't have this issue until 189k miles. Avoid options like folding mirrors as they have a small plastic bit that tends to break and when the mirror folds it will fold the wrong way. Luckily, at least from my expirience with my own e90, so long as it has been properly serviced and cared for, they will run forever, it's just the little shit that gets you. Also word of warning, some people put off minor maintenance things and forget about it, things like hoses and pumps, while it isn't Paramount for the car to run, have someone who knows German cars take a look, this will help with the lifespan of your car, for me this meant a cost of 1200$ when retrofitting mine.
However, so long as you don't need a super low mileage one, you can snag e90s for under 10k$ quite easily leaving you with more than enough for any unforseen repairs.

And just to reiterate, make sure the guy you take it to knows his shit, and if he spots anything worrying in the mechanical components to take it right back, a small portion of older e90s (such as mine) had an issue with the engine housing leaking oil all over the exhaust, which could lead to a fire. Now I've never had this issue, but I'd do a recall check on the VIN just to be sure.

Why would I samefag?
>Looks normal
You said an E36 manual M3 is worth over 10k, yet a "normal" one is listed for 7200, and will be lucky to sell for more than 5k, looks like you proved your own theory wrong. There's no possible way your M3 would sell for 10k on craigs.

Yet the owner demonstrates some remedial understanding of an automobile, like "if I align the car correctly, although it's lowered, it will most likely be capable of driving in a straight line"

Salty about what? "you're mad because my car is shitty" doesn't work on me young stance padawan
