E350 cdi coupe buying advice

[Bikeracer1098]

Thinking of replacing my BMW M3 with a 2010 E350cdi sport coupe as a daily driver.
Hopping for 35MPG instead of around 22MGP

Been looking at 2010 models and 2013 facelifted models.
Would probably get it remapped to around 300bhp

Any advice on what to look for and common problems etc

Thanks

Not many problems with these the dash's sometimes squeak, if you get a 2012 these are 265bhp which means 320bhp with a map the earlier 220bhp cars these will be 290+ remember these will be more of GT than your M3 but depending on your usage you will easily see 35+mpg, having a panoramic roof is a nice extra worth looking for.also if you can find one lowered on Eibach springs they make it a bit sharper.

Thanks for the info.

Looking for a white one with panoramic roo just like yours in the photo, they seem really rare especially with low mileage.

Found one in a dealer up North however they are after close to £18k for a 2010 car which seems a little excessive.

Went to see a black 59 plate car today with 38k mikes for £14750.

2013 facelifted cars seem to be £24k +

I sold that one & bought a Palladium Silver one keeping the pearl white clean was harder than having a black car so it went. Don't get hung up on the Harman Kardon either the speakers are not good enough to grace the bottom of the range Harman Kardon brand speakers (JBL Infinity) so don't let that sway you one way or another, a decent audio specialist will sort that out.

I travelled to Blackpool to pick up mine.

Here's a 265bhp white one with the 19's.
