High Miles E90 330i Convertibles - Anything to worry about?

[KingC4]

Hi,

I am considering buying the missus a 2007 E90 330i Convertible. I have previously owned the 330d M Sport
which was a great car but am just wondering if there are any issues with buying a 330i that has done
over 80,000 miles? I just assume the 3.0 litre petrol to be bomb proof but was wondering if there are any
issues with the roof etc at this age?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

Thanks for the heads up Mr Minion.

Seems like the 330i is the way to go.

Thanks for the post A4cab.

Test drove the car (it was an M Sport) tonight and it seemed tight and actually quite smooth and quiet
despite the miles and the Potenza run flats. The missus has a thing for potholes for some reason
and with the MV4 alloys seeming to be a bit of a problem I hope I won't have to shell out for some
new alloys. Unless I go down the route of replacing the run flats but I haven't quite worked out whether
that's a good thing or not due to the safety issue. It's the missus and kid(s) in the car most of the time.

Thanks again that's good advice with the tyres. Interesting about not liking the Potenza's.
At least now if she complains about the ride I can switch to Goodyears. I wish they didn't
have run flats. I've had them on all my BMW's and they've been a pain in the backside on
ride quality and expense.

I have a problem with the MV4's though as I think they look fantastic compared to the MV3's
but maybe a few eye watering bills and grief with them might make me change my mind.

I have an X5 which we need for where we live so it was very nice to be back in a 3 litre M Sport
again. Reckon the missus is going to be wondering why her car keeps disappearing off the driveway
at every given opportunity.
