Looking at a 2014 335 xdrive

I have a 2015 x1 now. Looking for other options.

Are are there any known issues with the 2014 335 GT?
Should I avoid this car? this year?

There are 2017's available but for more money (obviously).

thanks in advance.

The 335 is OK. The 328 might have timing chain problems.

Is your X1 a 35i... if so, it is the same N55 powerplant. The transmission is the ZF 8-speed, pretty reliable and responsive. Just make sure the car has some history of maintenance and may be do a "pre purchase inspection/ PPI".

If you can find/ afford a 340i GT... that has the new B58 motor with somewhat better performance & potential.

My X1 is a 28. I love the 8 speed tranny.

I read that the 2014 was the first year of the F3x, which scared me. First model years are always troublesome.
