Is 46k miles for an e92 335i too much?

CrimsonIvy35i · 10-25-2010, 07:43 PM

Is 46k miles a lot for an e92 335i? My friend wants to buy an e92 335i. He's using my username to read your opinions. I say it's not that much, it's an 07.

Nope. I'd go for the Easy Care extended warranty though. I got my easy care negotiated down to $1200 and it was in the financing.

the miles arent a problem as much as the end of the warranty coming soon. id factor in an extended warranty into the price of the car.

CrimsonIvy35i · 10-25-2010, 07:47 PM

Is that the bmw extended warranty?

Yes. For the 335, it will more than likely be worth it. As said above, the total miles isn't a real issue, but owning a 335 with absolutely no warranty has the potential to get expensive at any random moment.

bmw offers this along with many other outside companies. search for more info as its been discussed a lot.

CrimsonIvy35i · 10-25-2010, 07:57 PM

the car's warranty expires in January 2011. Unless he reaches 50k miles before January.

That's fine, and actually good. So if there are any immediate issues with the car, he can get pretty much anything taken care of at the dealer with no problems during the original warranty period. We're suggesting he get the extended warranty for after this though, as a security blanket. Getting slapped with a huge repair bill at random isn't cool.

CrimsonIvy35i · 10-25-2010, 08:03 PM

The autocheck on the car he's getting seems perfect. No accidents, airbag deployments, mechanical problems etc. But I wonder how the carfax history is?

Yes, that seems good to me too. He can get a big list of everything that could possible need changing, like worn out trims, the seat belt extender(i know that always breaks), new brake rotors brake pads etc.

CrimsonIvy35i · 10-25-2010, 08:20 PM

So 46k miles is not that much?

no, unless the ex owner wasn't taking care / servicing the car

vantage_coupe · 10-25-2010, 08:34 PM

lol I don't think your friend has much to worry about. 46k miles is not high at all. Have him do a quick search around here to see how many high mile 335s there really are.

Sure there will be maintenance at one point or another but thats just part of owning such a vehicle imo.

CrimsonIvy35i · 10-25-2010, 08:36 PM

He has the autocheck which is perfect. But he wonders how the carfax is. Anyone want to run a carfax for him?

bimmer_335 · 10-25-2010, 08:37 PM

I have 52k on mine... that said, I do have extended warranty. Nope... 46k is not too bad. You still have a few months of warranty so take it to the dealer and take care of outstanding items as folks mentioned earlier. Have them pull service records... and go from there.

I'd also strongly suggest purchasing an extended warranty... hopefully he is getting a good deal on it.

jaird23 · 10-25-2010, 09:08 PM

i just bought a 07 335i with 45k miles but mine was cpo....

CrimsonIvy35i · 10-25-2010, 10:18 PM

How much do the extended warranties go for?

Price is all up to the dealer that is selling the service contract. $1200 is very cheap if you got the EasyCare TotalCare Plan (the best)
I believe the dealer cost for EasyCare ranges from $500-1200 depending on coverage level, length, etc.

BTW, I have had personal experience with EasyCare and would highly recommend them to anyone needing coverage.

I would agree with what others have said, 46k miles is not that much but try and extend the warrently. Good luck with the new car.
