Planning to buy 2008 335I coupe- Need advise

Hello Guys,

I am new to this forum from Calgary AB. I am planning to buy 2008 335i Coupe AWD or RWD. Could you please suggest me what problem i should be facing after buying it or what to be aware of? Please advise I soo love this car but worried about upcoming issues.

Currently driving 2004 Mazda 6GT

Thanks.

Without a crystal ball, your question is impossible to answer. Just be dilligent with pre-purchase inspection and make sure the financials don't put you in a bind, and you should be fine.

Problems? In the stress of an Alberta Winter?

None. Buy now. CPO. Save for a rainy day. If there were to be issues, you would find them by reading forum posts, looking for frequent mention of this or that.

If there were problems.

Make sure the car has all the recalls done--injectors and high pressure fuel pump mainly. If it's an A/T, there have been a lot of reports of a leaking mechatronic sleeve. It happened to me. It's a few hundred dollars to fix depending on whether you take it to a dealer or an indy and whether you replace the A/T fluid at the time of the repair. There are a few posts on this board about failed turbos. I don't think they are any more defective with BMW than any other car company. They are a wear item and will eventually have to replaced. My 335 coupe has been more trouble free than any car I have owned. The motor is a rocket. Enjoy.

Some cars get tuned either via software or piggyback modules. There is a higher chance the car gets abused when is tuned.
