Looking at a 320d E90 auto with 150000 on the clock, immaculate, with full BMW history for £6000 before haggling.
Lovely spec inc panoramic sunroof.
Our 330d E90 has done 144k now its a 2006 plate that we have had from new & its still going strong, i think its worth a punt.Lovely spec inc panoramic sunroof.
Looks overpriced to me.
7 years old. low spec. 3 series. 150k. £6000.
Wouldn't touch it with my money.
My question to you would be;
What makes you want a 7 year old diesel 3 series with 150k on the clock so badly?
Without even looking into the issues that may arrise with the car, it still isn't worth that.
6k will buy you a late (2005) E46 320d Sport with reasonable mileage (less than 100k).
You could even find a 330d (E46) for that.

If the E90 is what you're after, you may need to up the budget slightly as you're near the bottom of the market.
That E90 you saw is worth closer to £4000 but the general public will pay a premium for the badge.
To some, that makes the car worth what the market will pay i.e. possibly 5-6k, but I see it a little differently.
You could pick up a 2008 Vectra 1.9 150 CDTi with 90k on the clock for £4000, purely because it is a Vauxhall. I honeslty cannot say that that 3 series is a better car, yet it carries a premium even with a hefty mileage on a potentionally problematic engine (flaps, turbos, slushbox).
I've driven a 2010 320d Sport with 15k on the clock and it left me feeling very disappointed. Especially for it's 30k list price after options.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you want a decent E90 you'll have to pay a little more or you'll be left with the dregs.
