looking to get a 3 series

[v5 rob]

I need some advice on this bmw 3 series,I don't know much about this model but it seems to look a good car,can anyone tell me if its priced right and what to look out for? as I'm going to have a look at it tomorrow morning. Any help would be a great! http://autotrader.mobi/used-cars/advert/2010503753...

sounds like a fairly bog standard SE spec - nothing overly special in my eyes.

Would be wary of half leather - will affect resale values but depends how long you intend to keep it for.
Theres lots about - just make sure you know what spec you want and go from there.

Good luck!

It looks a nice clean car compared to the ones I've seen so far, ill have a look tomorrow at it and take it from there. It says special addition but what would that mean?possibly the m sport wheel I guess?

Get an M-Sport...far better.

Would love a m sport! But can't find any around where I live that are in my price range!there either high mileage or to expensive! And I don't want to go travelling up the country for one its not worth the hassle, I like this one I've seen so hopefully its a nice one,thanks for the help and any other info would be a great help as well!

Get on to E90 Post and have a look at all the problems on there owners are having with the 320i and then decide

Special Edition = SE

don't think there's anything special about it to be honest, just a trader trying to make his stock seem more desirable

Would you not be interested in going for an E46 (pre-06) instead? You could pick yourself up a well-maintained 325 Msport or diesel Msport for a decent price?

[v5 rob]

i wouldn't say no to a e46,but i cant get one near me that's the right mileage and price,went and seen the one in the advert and its in absolutely mint condition!but the dealer cant meet me at the right price to change,its a good garage with good stock so he is gona try and source another one for me hopefully,im in no rush to buy at the moment so if i dont get this one ill get another one.

Nice motor but to far away for me,I'm gona look at the one in the ad that I've posted up as I recon I could do a deal with him on it,I know its not the m-sport, but it looks nice and clean,plus it has m-sport wheels as well,are there any known problems with the se model I should know about? most cars have problems either way so nothings perfect!
