    Advice? 2004 BMW 330xi vs 2007 BMW 328i

    I'm trying to buy a cheap BMW. Both have high mileage.

    I'm in between a 2004 BMW 330xi with 210k, but only one owner (older wealthy gentleman) who has always maintained the vehicle at the dealership, fixed many parts recently, brakes and tires are both perfect.

    or

    19 year old girl with a 2007 328i with 185k on dash, a burning oil smell under the hood, but engine, transmission seem mechanically sound, steering, braking and suspension are all very tight. doesn't know how many owners, says her dad bought it for her a year ago and is selling it because shes in college and can't afford a vehicle.

    They are both $4k...so 07 with 25k less miles and 3 years newer with no history? or 04 with 25k more miles, but has bmw dealership service records for all 13 years of ownership.

    I love the E90 style over the E46, and both were very nice. I just need more advice.

    are slow
    I'd go for the E46. Safer buy, easier to maintain and personalize. Plus, the AWD is kind of handy.

    Always room for negotiation.

    According to me, you should go with 2004 BMW 330xi with 210k. Because It has only one owner with 13 years of ownership and well maintenance record.
