Not sure if it bothers you but it looks like the owner does their own maintenance?
The usual wear items on an E90 apply here too. The usual leaks that occur on N52 also. Check the middle brake light for cracks, leaky diff, diff noise. Has it had the battery positive cable campaign done? Speaking of batteries, check the age of the battery. Genuine BMW batteries have a production date stamped on the negative post. The last 2 digits are the last two digits of the year. Most cars of this age will be on a second battery or the factory battery will give up the ghost soon. |
