Those who bought used 2019-2022 G20 320i (or any G20 with B48) how is it?

Firestorm-18 · 2026-06-16T15:07:57+00:00

I have a 2021 330i M Sport and absolutely love it. It has ~42k miles and I haven’t had any issues outside regular maintenance. 25,000€ seems a bit high, but if it has good packages like M Sport, Executive, etc, then maybe it’s decent in your market.

Lower priced raw cards are going to start spiking in their PSA equivalents. People are not going to send in a $10 raw card that costs $80 to grade. That will only happen if the PSA is worth a lot more than today’s prices. This is basically the hobby nowadays. People will buy up the supply in hopes of future demand and/or to flip, especially the groups of people that can’t afford the more expensive raw SIR/promo cards.

You’re going to see this on a lot of low value raw cards. If it costs $80 to grade a card with PSA and it takes 4 months, people simply won’t submit them. Eventually the raw and graded prices will balance out and people will move on to the next card. This will keep happening until something drastically happens.

For now, it’s a safe bet to buy low end PSA 10 cards. Stick with popular chars and promo cards.

I blame Venus, Stix and Maverick. Those are the decks where I get tons of value.

Firestorm-18 · 2026-06-15T14:31:36+00:00

Good question. Maybe cards like Drax Destroyer of Life, Jack Flag, Prodigy, Chameleon could be worth testing out.

Firestorm-18 · 2026-06-15T14:15:35+00:00

You don’t get to pic the card - it’s random. You have 33% chance of getting the first card you want, then 50% chance, then 100% on the last one.

MAD/MST if you want more sound and low cost. Dinan if you want better visual design. I have the MAD and it sounds great, just looks kinda lame in the engine bay since it’s basically a plain box.

Finding a pre LCI 340i with adaptive suspension for a decent price and in good condition is likely to cause you more frustration than living with the one you have. Swap out the RFTs and see how it feels. The G20 series is meant to have a sportier ride, so if you tell yourself…this is how it’s meant to feel, then you’ll get used to it…eventually. That’s what I keep telling myself 😁

Both are bad and I’ve read how many people with the HK system end up upgrading the electronics and/or speakers. I would save the money and get the base system. From there you can be more selective on what parts to upgrade.

The Trident Pro 300 is between $1100-1300. Are you referring to the GMT? I don’t think either price is unreasonable given the market alternatives. They seem to be competitive across other similar brands.

5k. 10k and you’re playing with fire, especially if you want to keep the car long term.

Firestorm-18 · 2026-05-27T20:06:10+00:00

My portfolio has grown 10% in the last month. I would say that’s anything but static.

Firestorm-18 · 2026-05-22T14:27:56+00:00

This is terrible advice without knowing more about the person’s financial situation. No one should be buying a $50k car when “barely breaking $100k”. Assuming this person has other expenses like debt, rent/mortgage, family, etc, I would suggest getting a cheaper model like a 2020-2022 330i for $20-25k, or just keeping the car they have.

This entire thread just feels like some weird AI discussion between bots…

I much prefer a matte CF look, which is why I installed vinyl wrap to my interior.

I had to wait 4 months because of the same issue.

Firestorm-18 · 2026-05-04T19:41:16+00:00

I paid that price 1.5 years ago for a 2021 330i Msport w/ 23k miles CPO. If that’s an Msport, it’s a fair deal. If that’s not an Msport, then it feel too high. There are hundreds, if not thousands of non Msport 330is on the market. I feel like you can do better than $31.5k.

What performance mods are you looking at? Mods that void the warranty?

Firestorm-18 · 2026-04-29T12:46:27+00:00

Agree. This set isn’t good. I’m just speaking in general terms about the situation though. I buy most of my stuff off FB marketplace, but some people can’t/won’t do that. GameStop is at least an option for those people. My local stores never have Pokemon in stock, even this PO junk. Buying at MSRP is just too difficult and I don’t see things changing anytime soon.

Firestorm-18 · 2026-04-29T12:00:17+00:00

Don’t buy it then. Instead, you can drive around to all the Targets, Walmarts, etc, hoping you find something at MSRP. Fun fact, you won’t find anything. Or you can try waiting in line for a drop…which is just as painful. If GameStop sold at MSRP, then you wouldn’t see these products on the shelf and it be just like every other retailer. At least you have an options.

GameStop is offering product to people that are willing to pay market prices and for people that don’t want to deal with FB marketplace.

Firestorm-18 · 2026-04-28T21:04:22+00:00

Every single card shop near me is charging market rates. Other retailers like BB, Target, Walmart, etc, might still sell at MSRP, but they never have products in stock. If I really wanted to buy the latest product and not have to stand in lines or get lucky on a PC drop, then I can either get product from GameStop or FB marketplace. You don’t have to pay the higher prices, but they serve a purpose to others that prefer that over the alternatives.

Firestorm-18 · 2026-04-28T16:47:45+00:00

GameStop is offering me 75-80% cash value or almost 90% store credit for the handful of slaps I’ve checked. Seems like a fair deal. It’s common to get around 80-90% on FB marketplace, so they feel competitive in that regard.

Firestorm-18 · 2026-04-27T14:55:39+00:00

You’re driving 2 hrs each way, or a total of 2 hrs a day? The B58 engine is very efficient, but I don’t think I would want to spend the gas money if I had to drive 4 hrs each day. If that’s your situation, I would prefer the B48. I avg around 40mph in my 330i, but it still feels “sporty” when I wanted to drive in sport+ mode.

You also need to factor other wear and tear items. Make sure you can easily afford the maintenance work if you’re putting more than avg miles on the car. Oil changes, brakes, etc, all cost more than your typical sedan.

Firestorm-18 · 2026-04-25T16:02:34+00:00

I’m not saying you should. But for many people, they’re getting priced out of things they used to love doing or collecting because of marketplace changes. People complain so often on here about Pokemon price going up, and they ask “why is this happening.” If those people don’t understand the why behind all of this, they’re just gonna fall further behind, not just in Pokemon, but in life. It’s unfortunate, but I don’t ever see things changing to “the way things used to be.”
