    2015 - 320 advice

    Didn't know where else to post but I was hoping to get some insight. Don't really know much about BMWs and this will be our first BMW used thou. We found a 320 2015 with low miles 10k and it still has manufacturer warranty at CarMax. And from the history it was lease and sold through auction which is kinda weird.

    https://www.carmax.com/car/14971028

    We put a hold on it till 8/28.

    I guess our main concern is this a real good deal. I seen some low mileage 2017 for about 5k more, but they seemed to be loaner vehicles and turned around to be sold. Plus side on this it has an additional 1year 25k miles on top the MFG warranty.

    Well if

    Hello and welcome to the forum! It seems like not a bad deal, but the most important thing would be to get a full PPI report from an independent BMW mechanic. This should give you a definitive answer as to the car's overall condition. Although it could look great on the outside, it could be a nightmare underneath the hood. Just my 2 cents, best of luck and post some photos here if you end up purchasing it!

    Looks like a good deal, just make sure you take to a shop so they can test everything

    thanks for the advice guys. Wife skipped on it she didn't like the seats and according to her, the engine was loud. But I assume all 4cylinder BMW are loud because we checked a 428i and it was loud as well. On a good note, we sold them our Infiniti jx35 we couldn't pass up on how much they wanted to buy the car for. We had a good laugh we had to lyft back home. I liked the BMW 320 it road nice and it still had the new car smell. We did ask them about having it checked by an independent mechanic and they said. They said we can return the after we buy it...

    I have read about the engine noise, but personally have never experienced it; the only time I've ever experienced any was punching it to get on the freeway and this was in a 328i loaner - after putting it in Eco mode, the car was very quiet imo. Are you still going to be looking at BMWs or moving on to a different brand?
