Was it in Illinois? I've always had bad luck looking at cars in Illinois. You didn't mention tolls, so I'm guessing not...
Judging by the Craigslist URL, it looks like Minneapolis. Surely there are more 335xi sedans listed in the cities, so you could have optimized your trip by finding more listings in the area on autotrader or something. Minneapolis is a great market for finding used BMWs.

+1 for negative personal experiences with Illinois cars. (Ol' Smokey the smoke gray X3) The guy that bought my last van was from rural/Peoria-ish Illinois and said "I live in Illinois and I always come to Wisconsin to buy cars".
LOL - I've actually had good experiences buying Illinois BMWs - both my blue and my black 335xi coupes came from Schaumberg, and both run great.
The black one had 53k miles, and now 178k four years later. Might be because they're 2011MY with the N55 engine. The blue one I bought with 65k now has 67k two months later. I'm saving that one for when my daughter takes over the black one.

I could've, but we were strapped for time and I had a cashiers check printed in that dealership's name. I mostly wanted it for the price, but not with all the problems.
I've had good luck with Chicago area cars, this was my first time going west. Schaumberg, Illinois is a pretty nice area, I would imagine that most people take care of their cars there. Back to the drawing board for me...

What exactly are you looking for? Do you want to stick with N54 2010 MYs? Color? X-drive? Coupe or sedan? Max miles? Spend?

Funny, I just created this thread 20 minutes ago. Should answer all of your questions.

Don't care if it's an N54 or not. Exterior color doesn't matter to me that much, but would like to stay away from red. Sedan or coupe is fine.

Color doesn't matter? How about Mary Kay pink, or metallic purple? LOL

Similar for me in Illinois. I've had more good luck buying cars down there than in Wisconsin. The last cars I bought or looked at in Wisconsin had "hidden" issues where as my 335i that I bought in Illinois was really as described and was a great price.
Sorry to hear you had such a shitty experience. Have you been hitting cars.com and autotrader.com? I've had a lot of luck using those sites.

Not sure what modes of communication you're using, but I've always had luck reaching him on Facebook Messenger.
