M235i - Miles vs options?
Was looking at buying a used M235i/M240i and was curious what others thoughts are regarding the trade off between miles and options included. For example I’ve found a ‘14 m235i manual with the technology package and H/K sound system, m performance exhaust and has 43,XXX miles for $25k. Also found a ‘15 M235i with base options but only 22,XXX miles for $30k. Both have clean records and so I was curious how much the mileage mattered. For reference I’m not the best when it comes to car knowledge (have replaced a mirror, could change oil and other minor things, but would be clueless when it came to actual engine problems). Any advice would be very much appreciated

Take a look at this one here: https://www.modernmotorcars.com/used...2L3C31HV667422 I was considering that before I found a brand new 2018, loaded for $42k. When I started negotiating with them, they were advertising a $37.5k sticker price... brought them down to $36k, but then stopped bothering with it. I honestly think it is one of the cleanest M240xi on the market right now; only 10k original owner miles, not an event car or exec demo. Sweet deal. Talk to Jennifer at Modern Motor Cars. She is great! Anyway, I wouldn't touch a car with 40k miles and a performance exhaust on it. Call it irrational, but I am sure that some of those miles were not kind. TL;DR: warranty is important for these German cars. |

With that said, the current gen 2-series (the ones called M240i) run the near bullet proof powertrain combo of ZF8 transmission with the excellent BY engine. If the B58 is good enough to be put into the new Supra... Then I trust it But anyway, 2 series is awesome and its reliability record is solid as well. |
