Looking for a new daily - input needed.
-
I vote e46 touring or a decent e39 540i touring!

I like both of these options.
-
I know nothing about this generation BMW.... Talk to me!!!
-
Is collin your name
Yup - and it called me like "What's up Collin - Come pick me up!"
-
Keep in mind that the service intervals have been extended on newer cars, in my opinion some of the reasoning is the free maintenance for x years deal, they don't care how much beyond warranty it lasts.
This is only my opinion and I realize that modern lubricants are much better than what was available in the days of 3mo/3k miles oil changes. FWIW I run Royal Purple HPS for 10k intervals and would continue to on any car I bought.
-
I was thinking more major items (water pump, timing chain, etc..). I'm assuming they consider the chains a "lifetime" item.
Might be backing off the E91 wagon... Found a 08 328i in MKE from a dealer with under 90k. Auto trans... But honestly doesn't bother me for a daily.
-
That E91 is calling my name - trying to arrange to see it Wednesday. If anyone here has any experience with that gen or engine, some insight would be greatly appreciated.
I loved my E90. But it started to nickle and dime me to death. As long as it was well maintained and maybe a CPO I'd say go for it.
Bonus points for the touring!

What kinda issues did you have? I don't know anyone who owns one - so the more info the merrier.
Driving to look at a 2008 328i auto sedan tomorrow - 90k miles.
-
Turning headlight motor - $1300
Passenger seat airbag sensor - $900
Sunroof skipped track and needed reprograming.
Electrical gremlin began rolling all my windows down whenever it felt like.
Mine had some prior damage unknown to me that caused some issues. Mechanically I took it from 18k to 80k with just a new battery and a coil pack to keep it going and I enjoyed every minute of driving it.
-
General consensus on the E90 forums is the N52 is pretty much bullet proof, just general maintenance and some oil seal issues with valve cover and oil filter housing.
Scheduled a PPI at Prestige for this afternoon - on a $10k purchase I figured it's worth the money.
-
So it's a VW.... That's gonna be more expensive to fix.
