320i B48 pricing/reliability

Hi guys,

I've been reading this forum for a while now since Im looking for my first BMW ever and I find this site very helpful! so thanks for tips

Probably I will buy F30 2018 320i on tuesday and I got few questions to you

1. Car that I want to buy used to be a demo car in BMW Dealer in Germany, currently it has 49k km(30k miles) and I've checked it with my friend who is working in BMW and it look like it has completely clean history. First owner bought it when it had 24k km and he had this car for 2 yrs now. I can buy it for 17,500k eur. Interior isnt the greatest but it has bigger navi, heated seats, steptronic obviously and some additions as hi fi etc. Not the best, not the worst. Do you think this is actually a good price for car like that?

2. Im wondering what headlights does it have(picrel)? I mean does it have "angel eyes" or xenons or whatever or its just a normal headlight that uses yellow bulb lol if you know and can post an img of same headlights at night ill owe u!


3. Do you think, that if this car really has clean history, has 49k km and with B48 can be reliable? I mean if I can drive this car for next 3 years(lets say 45-50k km) without paying tons of $ for service? I know that some things will need repair, im thinking about replacing some key engine parts that cost a lot.

Thank you guys for tips and answers, I really appreciate it and I hope to be a BMW owner on tuesday
cheers

Get the car! B48 is a very reliable engine, the price is great, low kms, and the car is well optioned. It looks like it probably has LED headlights, but I'm not sure.

These are the non-adaptive LEDs.

I just grabbed a 2018 330i with 35k miles. I’m counting on long term/high mileage reliability. I drive about 17k miles a year. Hoping for this to get to 100k miles.
