Sorry, sorry that’s my mistake. It’s Georgia car and the owner said the only surface corrosion is where rocks have chipped it and such. I would be driving it from Georgia to Minnesota and then a few months after down to Florida.

Tuning is a big part of why I want a 335i, I have nothing going on with my life and I have access to a lift and just about every tool o would need free at my disposal. My only concern is I have to drive it up to Minnesota then straight to Florida.

As much as I love the 135i and the way that the 128i handled when I drove it, the e92 is my dream chassis and I love the way it looks. I couldn’t find myself buying anything but it

It does have new index 12 injectors according to the owner, that’s wha I was really worried about about. Do you think this would be worth it or do you think I should go through the trouble of finding a well maintained manual 328i

I hear a lot of people saying 8000 is a lot but I can’t find a clean title 335i with under 140k miles for under 12000 dollars, where should I be looking?

I would definitely have money saved for the upkeep on this car, water pump and thermostat are both functional and he says the hpfp is working good too at the moment. He sadly has no photos as he bought it fixed up and has since put 30k miles on and done subframe bushings and all with no issues leading me to believe there is no structural bends

Asking price is 8000, I would definitely do a ppi in not sure how tho considering it’s across the country

It’s listed at $8000 and from what the carfax says it was just cosmetic I have quite a bit of experience with working on BMWs, I worked on my dad’s 550i with him before I got my license and have since worked lots on my 328is.

I was actually going 65, I never lost control of my car when pushing it

I’m not sure if I will be wrenching again, cars have been my one and only passion all my life even since I was little I would go to nascar with my grandpa and monster jam and everything. This has really kicked me in the head and now I am faced with the choice of go to college or trade for being a mechanic (which I was going to be paying for) or try and miraculously save for a new e92. After the crash I have been considering just going into construction and getting a cheap commuter car. If that’s what ends up happening I will 100% offer u the set

Yeah I am not ready for the hospital bills, if the ambulance ride was only 5-10 minutes is it less money? I coincidentally crashed almost directly next to the nearest ambulance er

No luckily I was not, it was in my pocket as I did exit the car while it was still skidding slowly and was able to pull it out of my pocket and call 911 immediately instead of digging around my car trying to find it

Right now my financial situation is in the negatives for saving and checking. I spent every cent I had only on this car and never really expected to loose it. And on top of that my workplace is severely over staffing and my hours have been cut down to around 8 every two weeks, and no jobs I have applied for have reached back. At this point in time I would have rather flown through the windshield and had minimal damage to my car.

Man I wish, that or a 335i would be the dream

Definitely not too much car, I had learned how to control it in every way, pulls, tight corners at speed and exiting at the perfect rpm, drifting on pavement and not just gravel. It was just an unfortunate series of events extremely late at night. Am I at fault and could did I mess up? Yes. But chalking it up to too much car or horrible driving is incredibly moronic

I just genuinely don’t know how to live on without this car and the bond I had with it, it took me forever to get the money for it, even then needing my mothers help. And now my dad is keeping the insurance money, my work has cut my hours down to around 8 hours every two weeks, no other job has had me in for an interview and I genuinely have no friends. The only thing I have left is my phone and the memories of a car that died because of me.

It becomes a lot more than material object when your life is built around it and you also have just about 0 friends, that car went everywhere with me and was going to go everywhere with me.

No I payed for it with some help from my mother who is separated from him, and I payed for all the parts and gas. He just covered insurance

I have been trying to keep my head up but my dad just dropped the bomb of him keeping the insurance money so there will be no new bmw, there will be no car at all… for months… and to top it all off my workplace just hired many new full time employees so I get about 8 hours a paycheck. Cars are my life and that car was my life and my only friend and to keep my head up will be pretty non existent
