Im thinking about getting a 2015 428i Coupé manual, ran 120.000 km for 21.590 Bucks from my local BMW Dealer. Is it worth it? Would be my first bimmer. Sorry for bad pic quality
To many kilometers
And age. If it was a newer model the mileage may not be such a problem
To many kilometers
Not a real BMW unless it has an inline 6

so a 2019 330d that would absolutely destroy your e92 is not a real bmw? My chipped f30 320d would also beat your car 0-60 let alone my 430d
E30 M3 enters the chat
They are nice cars dont get me wrong, but i wouldnt buy a 28i… the engine is shit…
See if you can stretch the budget to a 430i mate :)
430i
The difference between acceleration is really minimal. 435i or 440i is where you can notice the difference. 430i not so much especially 0-60 (it is the same)
do your self a favor and testdrive manual vs. ZF 8speed… the automatic is great in the 3-series… given you don’t list how it’s specd, i assume it’s bare minimum, that car is way overpriced for that kilometers driven.
if it has bmw’s 4 cylinder you’re going to be let down on performance, other than that. It’s a great car.
early 2000s were 20 years ago
I own 428i and m40i. 428i performance is just fine
Got for the 440i ;) you won’t regret it
Dad has a f10 528i, nice car and all. However would save some more money for a 30i newer model. This is because they use the B48 engine instead of the n20. N20 is not bad, however the B48 is in a class of it’s own.
Yep, after owning a B48, that is clearly the better choice. Now if OP can stretch their budget to a B58…you got an instant classic.
I had one as a loaner. I personally like a little more power but tbh, it’s more than enough for most people. I also love the liftback.
The half screen CarPlay is what pissed me off.
Make sure it has the updated timing chain. This costs around 3-4k if it hasn’t been done already.
Other than that it’s an amazing car.
Stay away from the N20 engine, otherwise the platform is good.
How can I know what engine I have btw? I always people saying this about the N20. I have a 2020 430i coupe if that means anything, m sport, do you know?
You have the B46/B48
I appreciate you!!
I love my ‘15 428i (just hit 60k miles), had since ‘18, almost fully optioned (except no Xdrive). It’s awesome, I love it, but after having driven a new M440i loaner, the 28/30 is just not worth the money saved vs a 35/40. Also there will be some repairs because of 4 cylinder you might not have in the 6. Namely I just had to replace right engine strut. I know there’s more stuff that comes with the 28’s.
It’s a car, maybe not the best not the worst. But it is a 4-series so leaning more towards the best than worse side
My bank wouldn’t finance a 2016 328i for 18k. Said it was worth 15k and I’d have to put 4k down. My opinion wait till prices get more realistic shopping for these cars
