Buying a used x3 N57
Discussion
Hi,
I live in France and in the market place there is a huge gap in price for that vehicle depending the mileage. For a x3 <180 kkm it's start at 15k€. But if i go higher in mileage the price can drop at 10k€. I checked the price for a chain replacement it costs 2500€. I bought my current q3 8u at 238kkm biggest expenses were neiman, suspension arm and fuel pump + module (not really the fuel pump itself but the cost of towing because the breakdown were intermittent with no default codes until the time my car could no longer start). I'm at 282kkm now and it's running good, dsg7 shifts perfectly i changed the oil gearbox last year.
Is buying a n57 more risky ? I heard as well about rod bearings issue. On the high mileage market i saw cars with only 2 or 3 owners that were kept several years, sign of good respect for the car i guess. What do you think ?
