valdez January 11, 2014 Share January 11, 2014 (edited) Understand for most BMW's above 5 years of age the gasket will tend to leak, so is there any other common problems or mechanical faults to really look out for judging that it's a 8 years old 320i. Advice needed, thanks. Edited January 11, 2014 by ValdezTan ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can refer to the BMW SG forum, most of the common problems of the E90 were discussed in length there. E90 is a good car but parts can be expensive. How much you paid for it?

I bought my 5yrs old E60 with 56k mileage now almost 110k at 9yrs mark. Car is problem free but minor wear and tear still got to do. My most expensive repair is $1.5k for the active steering rack. Others include air con compressor, alternator, brake disc/pads. Repair the fault and all is good, just have to take care of her and she'll serve you well Edited January 12, 2014 by Amazon777 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro you should... My buddy an average Joe in his 40's driving a 7yrs old Nissan Sunny still waiting for his pretty beau to appear.
