Hi guys in process of buying 2011 Series 3 330i e93 i believe it is. Wanted peoples thoughts car is up for £14000 and has covered only 26853 miles from new. Does have full history but wondered on thoughts is car ok to say low mileage, low mileage i thought could be bad as not been driven hardly. Or am i worrying about nothing . Always thought if car doesnt do much mileage it can damage engine if not hot,when driven short distances. Does stuff corrode away if stood. I have no way of knowing how its been driven but i have contacted BMW and got history. Car is from indy seller and only 3 months warranty as most dealers do now adays. Hopefully im worrying about nothing but would like thought please.

2011 and later means you are into direct injection territory. Google: piezo injectors, high pressure fuel pumps, electronic coolant pumps, and NOX sensors. Good news is the mileage means you can get the official BMW warranty though. If you like the car go for it. I have that engine in an f10 and think it's great. Most strung modern engines have expensive foibles, however.

Yes. Google BMW warranty. It's the official one.
