Hi guys new to the forum and new to the bmw family but a total bmw fan.
Im looking to buy a used 320d e90 pre lci 2008model driven only for 35000kms , interior condition is great just like new. It has the idrive system and dial and sunroof too. Am here to take advice from the experts of this forum for wht shud i look before i buy it and wht things i have to be careful after buying it. As this is going to be my very first bmw my dream from many years.
And lastly wht kind if gearbox does e90 have? Is it a torque converter or a DUAL CLUTCH? as dct are prone to failures.
