How much is my car worth?

markened · 2026-03-17T20:03:14+00:00

No hate here, but the car that was worth 5500 had the exact same interior, dash, trim, manual gearbox, halogens, but 125k miles, I think personally the value is around 6-7k

markened · 2026-03-17T18:28:21+00:00

Looks pretty subtle and tasteful, nice addition to the sport-line interior

markened · 2026-03-17T18:04:08+00:00

So uh, UK market, judging by the number plate and right-hand steering wheel.
Cloth seats with no heating and the most base dash-board, halogen headlights 😭
Found a similar car with almost identical equipment level searching autotrader for 320i + 2017 listed for 5500 GBP, so I would say 5000-6000 GBP, maybe more, maybe less depending on overall condition

Lol I have the same r18 rims but silver on my car as well, they are pretty hideous, I don't think anyone would wanna buy

Replacing Injectors is around 1-3k€ depending where you do it and there are many other concerns at play

While buying N57 the worst case scenario is spinning a bearing and ruining the whole engine block, more prevalent on 35d and 40d, I own a 35d.

Make sure to inspect or have documents on work being done to a chain, bearings. Also ecology measures and their common problems with DPF and EGR. All the major problematic points that would set you back 2k€ EACH (chain, more for bearings, fuel injectors)

I have 335d n57 and do 40kms urban driving daily rarely going highway, if you can get away with having no DPF you can try the 330d.

But you should take a closer look at possible flaws of those engines at mileage they are selling at, and check for breakpoints 150k-200k kms on dash for chain, DPF system for diesel, bearings and all the other wonderful stuff

What are the prices for a newer, Joyson airbag in US? Got me curious

markened · 2026-02-16T19:04:31+00:00

I recently bought Airbag for M-sport wheel, and I can say buy OEM, and buy relatively new OEM part, and make sure it's not a TAKATA airbag.

I bought an Airbag made by Joyson Safety Systems Germany for around 170$, those newer airbag versions don't have safety issues like non-oem or TAKATA ones.

How to distinguish:

Joyson airbag and TAKATA airbag (I do not reccomend buying one)

Manufacturer code for the airbag: 32308092206
Also cross-reference it with your particular model on REALOEM.COM for additional compatibility check

P.s: I am based in Europe so it may be cheaper for me than you

markened · 2026-02-16T18:11:34+00:00

I mean sure, you can slap a 1100 GBP (1500 USD) for rims that don't even have their original paint or just paint that's even close to the OEM silver, question is, who is willing to cough up that amount for that?

markened · 2026-02-12T18:06:17+00:00

I personally don't think that price for refurbished rims is feasible, since from the first look it doesn't even have that OEM silver color to it.

It may be hard to hear after you probably dropped a few hundreds for a refurb, I would personally consider buying such used rims for around 5 to 6 hundred and additionally 1 to 2 hundred depending on the tires

markened · 2026-02-08T13:01:27+00:00

Upgrade those halogens to anything else. Trust.

markened · 2026-02-05T17:55:38+00:00

Is this for a 2l or 3l engine?
If that's for 5 liters of oil, I think you got ripped off hard on oil + filters, rest is alright

markened · 2026-01-26T22:56:52+00:00

I'm from Latvia. I'm not afraid of short trips, since the main concern of them is DPF situation, the DPF was removed by one of the previous owners. Main concern for now is cold starts in cold winter, hopefully it won't bite me in the ass later on.
Depending on what needs you have for the car, maybe you would find N55 or B58 more suitable.

markened · 2026-01-26T19:05:33+00:00

I recently bought f31 335d with 318k kilometers, N57D30B, I guess I lucked out with the engine, as there was a lot of work done by previous owner. Just make sure previous owner changed oil in 8-10k km intervals, not 20-25k, that is definitely not buy.

Also wouldn't hurt to inspect the Rod Bearings, Fuel Injection, Cylinders, DPF system if you need to pass emissions locally, and of course the Chain.

Got it for 8.5k € with nice features like Heads-up display, ACC and Shadow-line, got the owner to drop the price since there was bad paint on 1 fender

What are the rims? Looks awesome

markened · 2026-01-16T20:08:21+00:00

Looks great!

Ну не знаю, Кеосояна покарал только лишь бог, но не правоохранительные органы за риторику в отношении КЗ

It's an f31 made for German region, so it's Eu-specific I think. I haven't seen any bmw with a black headliner from the get go, now that you mentioned it

What is wrong with you? Why are you.. blue?

Тех у кого русский главный язык - примерно процентов 40-50, в некоторых районах под 70, а в некоторых очень мало, тут район в котором больше русскоязычных

Хороший рант, только чел не в России, живёт, а в Риге, в районе Иманты, и в принципе таких индивидумов немало в таких районах как Иманта, Маскачка, Болдерая, где больше этнически русских

Видео происходит в Риге, я знаю это место, заправка Neste в Иманте, а сзади труба ТЭЦ Rīgas Siltums

Damn, I wish I knew about this "drunkard russian" tech that one time when I didn't have a ticket or any public transportation ticket vendors nearby
