    mileage vs year when purchasing a preowned car?

    I'm looking at some preowned bmw 328i/335i coupes anyone have advice on what I should be looking for in terms of mileage to year? Ive come down to a 2007 with 46k a 2008 with 36k and a 2011 with 48k kind of leaning towards the 11 as it is certified and the other two are not

      Average person drives 15k miles a year. You could use that as a baseline if you wish.

              on that model BMW I'd go more by the number of boogers on the steering wheel vs. lingering cologne smell.

                          happy holidays! I'd bet you can't go wrong with any of those cars, pending a good solid inspection to make sure.

                          I'd go with the one that's the coolest color.

                              If you are buying a used car then skip the dealers and find a guy who does wholesale and goes to the auctions or buys trade in cars from dealerships. You can save a shitload of money and then who the fuck cares of it is certified or not.

                                  I would but my main concern is that they are no longer making these two models so if something goes wrong i could be slightly fucked

                                      You won't be, car makers usually support their cars for 20 years minimum, 1994 would be when that would maybe start to be an issue but a 3 series BMW will have parts made for it forever and ever.

                                          12-15k/year is average. My own car 4 years and 2 months old only has 32-33k on it but that's cause I live in Chicago so anything I need to do is within a few miles max. Would be even lower but I've run the bitch to Tampa 2-3 times around Christmas.

                                          If those models are similar in features I'd probably be looking at the 2011 as well as I'd rather have something newer that was actually driven then something 7-8 years old with low mileage as odds are if low it was city miles and city miles are horrible for cars, stop/go/idling etc... where highway miles aren't as hard on the car and blow the bitch out.

                                              didn't even think about it that way, I'm definitely leaning in that direction, thanks!!

                                                  Check the BMW owner forums. Read up on these cars and see what the weak links are.

                                                  I'm not familiar with BMW, but it looks like 07, 08 and 11 are from the same generation (2005-2011). Again, not familiar with BMW, but there usually aren't major mechanical upgrades throughout the span of a single generation. If the car was engineered well to begin with, the first year and the fourth year are mechanically the same (differing only in minor cosmetics). You can really use that to your advantage when used car shopping since cars go down in value moreso by year than mileage. On the other hand, if there has been desirable improvements throughout the generation to correct mechanical issues then you would want to get the last car of the generation.

                                                      Many years ago when I was actually a mechanic my girlfriends mom was trying to sell a car so I had my buddy come peep it cause his aunt needed a ride. Next day the Mom calls me and says what did you guys do to my car it runs great. Told her we beat the shit out of it on the test drive. Don't think she ever had the car go over 40 as all city miles so by beating the hell out of it we cleaned out some carbon build up, told her wouldn't hurt to jump on the expressway once a week or two and break 40mph to maintain the smoothness.

                                                              Your biggest concern is ensuring that you have a good mechanic to maintain them. I find that the euro cars generally don't break down as much (compared to their North American counterparts). But when they do, they are a lot more expensive to diagnose and fix. Find someone who specializes in Bimmers. It will save you money in the long run

                                                                  mileage is meaningless. seriously. A 10K mile car owned by a punk is a much worse buy than a 100K mile car owned by a boring person.

                                                                  most important is who owned the car, & second to that, the quality of construction of the car. As you are looking at BMW, the quality is solid. Its the previous owner you should be most concerned about.

I find that the euro cars generally don't break down as much (compared to their North American counterparts). But when they do, they are a lot more expensive to diagnose and fix. Find someone who specializes in Bimmers. It will save you money in the long run

You can save a shitload of money and then who the fuck cares of it is certified or not.

Ive come down to a 2007 with 46k a 2008 with 36k and a 2011 with 48k kind of leaning towards the 11 as it is certified and the other two are not

                                                                                          Since so many other things can create wear and tear, try first finding the car with the age and range you are fairly comfortable in, then get it inspect yourself. Then take even minor things to the buyer and use those to get a lower price on the car. This way you'll save money getting a reliable car that you really want.

                                                                                              Generally, the larger the engine in the car the lower the mileage per year is (at least in europe). It's very common for a 2007-2008 M3 here to have 50k km on it, but a 320d from 2007 will have 250k on it.

                                                                                              Go with the 2011. 46k miles is still fuck all. I have roughly that on my 550i (also 2011). It will have the newer CIC navigation with harddrive, which works *much* better - more responsive and much better graphics. A car that sits breaks more then a car that is driven... smaller chance it was in an accident too - it's rare to find a car from 2007 to 2008 that wasn't painted somewhere... on a scale of 7-8 years something MUST have happened.

Are you aware you can drop off any car, no matter what year it was made, at a garage? You can even let them check what's wrong with it, buy the parts on ebay yourself, and let them fix it. You can find brand new parts for pretty much any car nowadays, it's all still being made.

They usually go at 60 to 75k without fail, sometimes earlier. In built obsolescence maybe ;) Just be prepared for it, $1300 at the dealer. 6 hours on your garage floor and $600 DIY. Sometimes it messes the battery up at the same time. You shouldnt install a reg battery from walmart if it does. They have been known to explode, bmw approved battery and you should get it registered via the dealers system.

The 2012 has no navigation/idrive, so immediately you will feel like you are driving a cheaper car + will be harder to sell later. That missing headlight sprayer panel is a bit suspicious, paired with those headlights (only m-package - which this car does not have - has white LED rings, other ones have yellow - at least in europe) so it might have been hit somewhere in the front.

                                                                                                                                              There's mention on their website that the CPO warranty is calculated from build date. So a 6 year warranty really means 3 years left on that 2011 by the looks of things. Check through the warranty for exemptions and remember you likely paying for it anyway, since cpo or not, they are not going to build 3 years cover in for no profit.

                                                                                                                                              The 2011 was more than likely leased originally (handed back a few miles short of the original 50k bmw warranty) the paperwork will confirm either way.

                                                                                                                                              328's don't tend to get driven as hard as 335's but if it was leased it depends on how the lessee treated the car knowing they were going to hand it back.

Nothing to worry about then, your repair records will be from a dealer(to show when you sell it). Non- certified raises some concerns, may be because of prior damage or it was picked up as part of an auction, etc.

The 2012 has no navigation/idrive, so immediately you will feel like you are driving a cheaper car + will be harder to sell later. That missing headlight sprayer panel is a bit suspicious, paired with those headlights (only m-package - which this car does not have - has white LED rings, other ones have yellow - at least in europe) so it might have been hit somewhere in the front.

Practically only does bmw and i'm there once a week or so to visit, so i've seen *ALOT* of these cars completely stripped down to bare metal and fixed.

A car with 30k miles or less over 2 years would be good enough to be resold at the dealer anything more would just be wholesaled. The millage over first 2 years is all that matters for valuations other wise you just buying a cheap car. I had a Baur and although a classic it is an old car so it really has no real value it is just a cheap car.

You can save a shitload of money and then who the fuck cares of it is certified or not.

Lots of repos end up at auto auctions. Due to the prior owners' financial hardships, those cars tend to have problems from delayed repairs and maintenance.
