The best upgrade I did on my 2011 323i was to replace the Continental run flats with Michelin Pilot Sports. Smoother ride, better grip, better handling, and slightly quieter. In case of a flat I’ve got a little plug-in tire pump to get me to a garage.
@@gabskie1891 I've just got a 330i m sport LCI. Seriously thinking about getting these tyres since I feel every bump and pothole with the sport suspension and run flats. The previous owner had way lower air pressure than he should just to smooth out the ride. I've put correct pressure in and it's a hard ride.
I've just bought a 2011 registered E90 320d in manual. Taking deliver on Friday wish me luck. Great vid by the way! Thanks for the info found it useful in making my decision.
Oil filter housing gasket can leak oil on the serpentine belt and destroy it and then the belt can be pulled through the crank pulley into the engine and cause engine failure… very common fault on the e90… so change the oil seal and serpentine belt and save your engine.. parts cost £30 and it could save you £1000’s
I have an 2012 E90 318i Sport Plus Edition with only 41500 miles on it...Full M pack minus brakes and engine but a fantastic car to drive and currently getting 39 mpg...Fitted a K&N filter in the airbox so the induction sounds great also...🙂👍
Grat video! Thanks guys. Im looking to buy a 320i 2010-2012 model and this video really gave me some good tips in regards to what I sgould be cheching before making a purchase.
Glad i watched this before buying one. My old E36 was so straight forward to look after. Rather have a bit of rust on wheel arches than all the complex issues described. Dual mass fly wheels and poor quality cam chains/ tensioner fitted at the rear of the engine. Such a shame Beemers used to be special now built like kitchen white appliances.
Yes, had some issues since filming this. Constantly flashing up sensor faults on the dash. Abs and traction control. Lovely car to drive, use not as reliable as I thought. Mot due next week too !

Hi Gents, nice video, thanks! I'm contemplating a 2005/6 E90 320i but as you know, since many years BMW's "recommended maintenance intervals" equate to institutionalised abuse...thus when shopping for a car here in Germany even if you get one with "full service history", the BEST you can hope for is a car which has roughly conformed to the recommended servicing, which means an oil change only every 2+ years/14,000 miles, no coolant or transmission fluid changes etc. Do you think it's realistically possible that if I buy a car with 120K miles which has undergone this treatment since birth and begin treating it well, that it can be acceptably reliable?
Best asking the owners of the car what maintenance they have done to the car in their ownership. Give you a better feel for the car and how well it's been looked after.

Loved the fact you lads pointed out the pros and conns, Micheal cheers for going over the engine bay, bloody annoyed they have no dip stick and you went over in details with abs, tyres and wheels. Just wondering is the sports suspension standard on those. I have the Reg no for the one i'm looking at but not sure if I can post on here 🤷🏽♂️
Hey, thanks so much for the kind comments. Really nice to hear. The sports suspension only came on the m sport models. ES, SE, Business and Performance Edition got the standard suspension. Which is still fantastic. Stick the reg number into the DLVA website. Search MOT history and this shows you the mileage over the years , and weather the car failed or passed over the years too. Keep us updated. Thanks Dale and Michael
I’m 18 and planning to buy my first car soon, and I’ve been contemplating between the 2008 Acura TL and the 3 series. I want something reliable to drive everyday but I want to spend around 5-6,000 for a car without compromising on quality too much. Is there a car you’d recommend for the best bang for my buck?
the N43 318i petrol engine is a ‘pretty good engine’ ? Hmm…i don’t think so, it was Watchdog once and is plagued by issues. Timing chain and plastic guides snapping and blocking the oil pickup, injectors, vacuum sensors, coil packs, Nox sensors, VANOS solenoids - the list go on and on. If you have a FSH then great but otherwise avoid avoid avoid.
I have a 320d 2011 efficientdynamics I averge 60mpg get about 720 miles per a tank of fuel I drive 50 miles daily 95% motorway 65mph the rest around town its quite impressive especially the £20 road tax
I'm also thinking to get one I've seen two one is 2009 face-lift 318i with 93k miles and other 2008 preface lift 320i with 128k both manual, so what would you prefer out of both I mean both have different power 318i is 141bhp and 320i has 170, is clutch on these good when should they be changed and whats worse with these can happen.
Its difficult to put miles on it. They are supposed to be made to last and not be changed like a timing belt. If the car has not been properly maintained and annual oil services, this can cause damage to the chain. All depends on Services and maintenance
I recently bought a bmw 328I 2009 and its my first car ever but it has an issue with the oxygen to combustion or something like that If I give you the codes do you think you can help me please I really want to take care of this car

Personally, I'd say a Lexus IS250 would be a more reliable car. The 3 series would definitely drive better though. Definitely needs regular oil changes every year and I'd say definitely service upon purchase. Again, with correct oil and filter. I'd even suggest spark plugs too, just changed my even though they were long life plugs and we're not due to be changed. Car drives so much better and starts better in cold weather. I'd say test drive both. Do some research on the IS250. Keep us updated what you go for too ! Cheers Spottedmotors
