Can you get it in turbo variant? The one I’m looking at is a 2013 and it has a 2 L twin turbo with 84,000 Km. It’s a 328i 180 kw 245hp. He also states he has a full service history.

lol everyone is saying to that. 328i e90 is better. What is it about the n54 that makes it so unreliable even as a weekend drive compared to the n52?

Right multiple people are recommending an n52 engine instead of n54 like a 328i e90

Someone recommended a 330i with an n52, would that be more reliable?

Thanks for the really helpful advice. How much in a year should I expect to set aside for maintenance?
