Picked her up a few days ago.
6.5k USD 2013 328i 165k miles I've updated the front grill, next I plan to upgrade to H7 LED lights, because the current visibility at night is horrible. |

Nice buy!
This car is in the sweet spot for TC failure, definitely be cautious with maintenance and abuse until you get a real good feel for it. Otherwise solid, basic Bimmer. Keep us posted on your high mileage journey, Im very interested as Im an N20 owner who plans to keep mine running for 200k plus. |

So make sure you check the timing chain, check the service records from carfax or something else (if you got it from a dealer, they should give you the carfax for free) and ensure transmission fluid has been changed because ZF transmissions are recommended to change fluid around 60,000 miles. Check brake pads and other regular preventative maintenance areas! Otherwise, sick car brother and congrats, drive fast drive safe.

Very nice F30. Congrats! As others have mentioned, timing chain needs to be inspected as early as possible (unless already replaced).

I can’t believe OP car can last 165k miles without a TC change… On the other hand, why a 328i car has a halogen headlight? |
