I know very little of this platform and so far what I do know is that the older generations were money pits and plagued with problems,is this just bad advice/opinions I've received or can this be corroborated here?
Who likes what motor....why?
Gripes,or what don't you like about your model options or just the car in general?
So far have you enjoyed your vehicle and what tips or advice would you give someone new into this model?
Thanks in advance for sharing your opinions!
All the best!
I picked up a '13 35i last April from a private seller, took it to BMW to check, perfect condition, he also bought extra warranty which was nice, also has N55 engine. The car sounds pretty good for a truck and drives alot better than my buddys 08 3.0si. If you're to pickup a E70, get a LCI model (2011+), some of the '12 or '13 might still have warranty unless there's extended warranty. As for power, I thought I could get alot more out of the engine, not done yet but looking to get the engine remapped.
So would you say your satisfied with your ownership thus far?
Are you disappointed with the 35i's power?
