My brother just traded in this WRX, truly never modded, never beat on, he is a nut about keeping things clean, car is like brand new still, he likes cars but is not into modding things or racing and etc. Actually they bought it off of him when he was thinking about leasing something different.

if you up the budget look at an E9X M3 CPO… i still like the G37 idea though. It’s a more mature car than the STI / EVO… obviously not as fast but more comfortable and refined… more of an adult / professional DD. and you dont even really need a warranty on them… ---

> [@mike125k](#): > > I have an '07 xi and just rolled 70k this week. Knock on wood I’ve had no HPFP, injector or coil pack issues. It is due for a valve cleaning I’m sure, but that’s a direct injection thing, not specifically a N54/5 design flaw. Bought it as a non CPO car, turbos were replaced by dealer before I bought it for wastegate rattles, been fine since. Had to replace a VANOS solenoid ($110) and transfer case servo motor ($400) and that’s been it. Love the car. How many actual miles have you put on your car since you bought it? I know it spent a massive amount of time in the shop for the clutch, then it was down again for the suspension ordeal. It’s already on its second set of turbos. The thought of having to replace them without a warranty makes me almost shit my pants. And you’ve had to dump over $500 in it since you’ve had it (not including suspension parts that you didn’t mention), while driving limited miles. That says a lot right there. They are sharp cars, and you can get a lot of power out of them, but I wouldn’t touch one without a warranty ---

If you asked me the same thing when I was 20 and living at home I might have had other thoughts on it. Unless there is something unique about a car for being a specific model or having some historical value, I have no idea why people would buy something with high mileage. Most people I knew who bought BMW/Mercedes/Audi with such high miles were buying something they couldn’t afford so they tried to save money on the sticker and ended up paying more for repairs than buying something CPO. ---

Hey guys- I currently have a 13 mazdaspeed 3 that i love, as well as a 12 Jeep Grand Cherokee (company vehicle/daily). I recently drove a friends 13 335i and was absolutely in love. I’ve been scouring the various BMW forums to try to get up to speed on the BMW world, but figured i would post local to see if anyone had any feedback. I’ve read that the N54 engines have had some serious issue, but N55 reliability has been much improved. Does anyone own one outside of the warranty period? I’ve heard from a few people they wouldn’t own one outside of their warranty, but i’ve also heard the opposite. I’ve been looking for something CPO, and I’m relatively competent in car maintenance/repair work so i’m not too afraid to do some of my own repairs if they come up. Any feedback from the F30 owners would be appreciated! ---
