2013 335i Low Mileage, bad idea?

I'm considering buying this F30 335i. Obviously I would prefer something newer, but I'm just curious what people think of this specific car. Very low mileage for the age (55,000kms/34,000 miles), serviced at BMW, one owner, no accidents. But it's still a 10 year old car that has likely sit for a while, which is the reason for such low miles. For 20k CAD is it worth the gamble?

I think it’s pretty all right. Just check for rust and oil leaks.

Very nice spec on that one- adaptive cruise control is super rare, along with surround view and hk, seems like a winner if they all check out, each dealer is different but I’d trust it more from a BMW dealer than another one, especially if they did a good inspection on it. Only thing I’d ask for is seeing if they’d replace the faded sport line trim on that (front fog light surrounds, front lower bumper strip, rear lower bumper strip), those are supposed to be gloss black and fade over time. Super easy to replace and not a sign of a bigger concern, but since it’s a BMW dealer might as well ask and see

Just have it checked out. Sounds like it would be a good deal.

As others have said, the adaptive cruise is an extremely rare option. This car is very well optioned and the price is good. Something I would check is whether its PWG or EWG, but at the very least it is NBT And not CIC.

My 2015 has only 29k miles. It hasn't sat, I just don't drive that much.

This is the car I should've bought 10 years ago instead of my 2012 bone-stock 328i. I am not sure about the price though. KBB has it for around $14-17k with that mileage and options.

He's in Canada. The current exchange rate is $ 0.75 CAD to USD, making it $16,500 including taxes.

Yes, nicely equipped for sure - I'm a big fan of the 430i Gran Coupe as a 3-Series 4 door alternative if you can find one with similarly low mileage.

Pfaff wouldn’t conceal issues but still advise them you’d like to have an independent specialist look it over.

My recommendation is Matt at BMWizard.

Ah...you are right... I should have known better..I worked in Ottawa for 3 years

Then it seems like a fair deal!

This appears to be a good deal. Is there a list of all services performed / parts replaced?

Would the dealer be willing to perform oil analysis?

PWG, Non M Sport & Track Handling Package, but for the mileage it’s a good deal.

Does not have track handling package. Most notably missing: Variable Sport Steering (S2VL).
