Would be great to see a follow up to this video, how he got on over the year any dramas he ran into and his longer term thoughts on the car! A lot of people including me are considering buying on eas they are becoming more affordable but there is a version of the 320d with a very unreliable engine might be good to see how true that is!
Just bought exactly same car as a daily, got an e46 m3 for more spirited drives, feels nice and solid, engines abit rough sounding from outside but when inside and moving its smooth enough.
Excellent stuff! Looks like he's bought a smashing car for £2k, looks good, goes well and 50mpg! That diesel sounds a bit grumbly though there's something oddly charming about that
Also "crumb collector" is my new favourite insult 😂 hope you're keeping yourself safe bud!
io504 cheers mate! We were both amazed how clean the crumb collector was. See you on the other side!
Always liked that shape of BMW, shame about the steering on it though! Seemed to push you towards getting the 335i which didn't have the electric setup.
Watch out for the cam chain as it is situated at the Bach of the engine unlike mine is a 318i cam chain is at the front. I recommend regular oil changes don't use cheap oil but good luck the bemmer looks banging.
i'm looking at one of these as an upgrade from the 46
British humour is top 😂
£2000 is an absolute steal for an e92, especially one which runs and which seems to have everything in working order. I am in the market for one right now and all I see is cars £3000+ on autotrader. It's been a year since he bought it, maybe he should do a one year ownership report video.
I would love to once the restrictions allow, Jack still owns the car!
just picked up a 05 320D SE for £800, it prefer than my 15 plate Fiesta when it had 200miles on it, so smooth and love the chunky steering wheel, as i'm lorry driver.
also yes we need a follow up video.
How’s the 320d going? Heard some horrible stories about them. Looking at getting one but very uncertain. Between the 320d and 325i
@@akd4157 mine died two days ago i think it was the clutch was quoted 600. so had to sell it for spares/repairs
@@rogueteacake2792 damm too bad. I ended up with a 325i cos I heard horrible stories about the 320d
Fab stuff, looks nice, great shape
do an update has he still got it or did he sell it
is it worth buying this in 2020? im looking at one right now. seems like the best bang for ur buck
Thanks for the comment. Not 100% sure what you mean by is it worth it? What are your criteria? What are the other options you are looking at?
@@CarThought i used to have a 2020 bmw 1 series which i totalled recently so i need to buy a new car on a lower budget and this beamer seems like a good shout
Personally I really like the e92’s, but if you wrote off a 1 series that was front wheel drive..? Maybe a RWD coupe isn’t the best option? 😂😬
@@CarThought aha love this i got same as this video an I'm telling you now it's flipping lethal in the wet mapped an shifts also 😬🤣 great handling in the dry though..
Did the e92 come with m57 and how to tell ?
The car throws it's back out while cornering - most likely due to that shitty "ditchfinder" tyres
"The car throws its back out while cornering"
@@21335186z done, thanks for pointing that out
Naa they are genuinely lethal in the wet all good if you know what your doing though still lethal 😂
Could you tell.... Where's You found this 2K of money BMW 3 series 320 D M sport edition, from which channel you got it ? Which manufactured year of it ?
Hi, believe it was bought off auto trader. It’s a 2007. But prices have increased for all used cars in the UK since this car was bought.
Be very careful with the 2.0 4cyl Diesel engines of that era, it’s probably an N47 and if so, premature timing chain failure is a serious issue, just happened to my dads E90, looking at an engine replacement 😬
My opinion.. if it’s made it this far, it’s already been done!
@@CarThought that is very true, hopefully that's the case and you're all good!
What was the mileage on the bmw or did i miss it lol 🤷♂️
170k
its just a shame these are renowned for timing chain issues. if its been done your laughing. the 6pot e92's are well worth it tho.
2000£ how !?
Yes I have the 2014 M Sport version. Thinking of saving myself/releasing £5K and getting a 2010 version..........
Is there a chunkier wheel than a 3 series??
Still got this car ?
I’m looking to buy a 320i, prices are all over the place how much do you think I should spend for a good low owner one?
Always buy the best example that you can afford if it’s an older car. You’ll pay less in the long run if you plan to keep it. My honest opinion on any BMW with a 2.0L petrol is.. don’t do it.. unless you live in a low emission zone area? Get a 320d, will run longer, better MPG, faster in a real world scenario and worth more when it comes for re-sale.
@@CarThought thanks, i like the 320d too but i live in london and im at uni so i wont be going anywhere just to the shops or meet my friends. If i had a 320d i would need to blast it on the motorway, i only do about 5000 miles a year so could get dpf and other problems with diesel. what do you think is 'decent' mileage for these cars?
That’s a perfectly valid reason then, looks like the 320i is a better bet. Personally I think the mileage is not as important, as long as the vehicle has a good service history. I normally factor in 12.5K miles per year for a daily driver from new, I think that’s most manufacturers average annual service mileage. So if you are looking at a car that’s 5 years old, 5x12.5= 62.5K miles. A car 10 years old I would expect it to have 125k miles. But motorway cars tend to have more miles, but are usually lower stressed as they sit at a constant rpm on a motorway which is less taxing on the vehicle... so there’s no real way to tell other than service history! Hope that helps..?
@@CarThought thanks, due to coronavirus there are some 320is with very low mileage like 60k going for like £3000.
@@hybridownzDK In my opinion, the 320i is not even worth buying. That's like putting a childs toy as an engine in the E92. 325i/330i. But you would be ok with the 320d even if you drove 90% city. Just complete the DPF regeneration when it comes on and you're good.
Was cheap because high mileage. Still really nice car.
Pretty crazy, prices in Holland are over twice as much for a used BMW with the same options, mileage and age.
That’s crazy! We’re jealous of USA prices in the UK 😂
Same in France the cheapest right now is 8k €
Yes about the right hand drive, in UK the market is very tight. Hey, at the moment in UK got couple of 640D under 9000 pounds
The cheapest one where I live is 6k euros :(
How manny miles has it done mate ?
At the time it was around 170K
Cheapest e92 in my country is 6500€😬
Where abouts?
Where too? I'm shipping mine over shout me where please 😬🤣
@@CarThought Finland
Should have bought an E46
