New to e90 post, and was wondering if i should buy this?

Hello,
I'm new to e90post and was wondering if you all could help me on deciding if I should buy this or not.

I think the price is at a steal with the amount of miles, and i suppose the heated seats and sport package I can do without. The only reason I can do without is because I will be chipping it and putting new suspension, with new wheels on it anyways.

Tell me what you all think.

Also if I buy it, I want to get the M3 wheels on there and was wondering where I can get the replicas for it?

Thanks for the help!

It looks like a decent deal.

I think chipping a NA engine isn't quite worth it, but suspension and wheels will definitely change the look and feel.

chowser51 · 12-30-2010, 05:09 PM

got my m3 replicas in 18" from **********s.
they should still have some in stock.

here's a quick pic after i put them on in the spring.

square setup.

they have staggered if you want

oh, i didn't use their included center pieces, i bought actual bmw centerpieces which fit perfectly. my m sticker keeps falling off so i stopped putting them on.

wow that car does not have one single option, and it's white on beige. Can you get anymore basic?

We do have the M3 style wheels available just as chowser51 posted up. I can't shoot you over a PM due to your low post count so drop me an email here at Alan************.com and I'd be more than happy to get you some more details!

Doesn't it look dropped already?

tmo24 · 12-30-2010, 07:50 PM

Definitely not a steal. Maybe a decent deal, but with having zero options, I think it is priced in the neighborhood of how it should be.

looks good to me

1) Is it still covered under the manufacturers warranty? Don't assume.
2) Call a BMW dealer with that VIN and make sure it is still covered under warranty.

The only reason I say this is because they list it as "AS IS". Makes me wonder.

Naturally do a carfax report and have a mechanic take a look at it.

well some of us dont have daddy's money to throw around, and even nadaguides says that price is decent enough...

bMur110 · 12-31-2010, 12:49 AM

but thanks for the help, and i will pm/email whenever i get the car in my hands...

Schm · 12-31-2010, 12:52 AM

Price is good, miles are good, hopefully it has a clean title and such. I'd go more miles+options, but yes, I'd say that car is priced appropriately. Could be a nice daily driver, or for the wifey.

bMur110 · 12-31-2010, 12:43 PM

and do you know if the cold weather package has REAR heated seats? my old a4 had heated seats in the front and back?
