It's been a while, wifey had a 2012 28i and i always had a soft spot for the car but we needed a larger family vehicle.

Fast forward 10 years and I DD a 2008 Saab 9-3 wagon. I like the car (I despise new cars and their relentless warnings/tech annoyances) but it needs a lot of work including new aircon, pads/rotors and new shocks. I only do about 4K KM (2500 miles) per year as I WFH. The body is in remarkably good shape rust wise though looks beat to death as it lives outside.

I'm considering a 35i X1 in great shape but higher miles (150k KM). Other than the water pump, what should I be most mindful of buying something of this vintage with this engine? I know there's the usual wear items (tyres/brakes/leaky suspension etc) that I would get checked via a PPI but what are the big ticket, absolute must know items on this vehicle with the I6 engine?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there! It looks like you're talking about the E84 platform, while this is the forum for the F48 platform.

I suggest to post your question on that forum for a better response.

YOu're right..... I am not dyslexic but read it as E84!
