Would you buy this?..

It's had no turbos changed and no wastegate rattle

Or I can get a 106k car with new turbos that's has a load of running issues this last 2 weeks.for 8k still waiting for it to be fixed

Looks very expensive IMO, paying for the manual box!

What are the issues on the 106k car?

oh it has rattle plenty of rattle.

well the 106k, had new turbos then wouldnt boost just jumped into limp,
then new actuators but still did it. now its had the ecu flashed as they found a map on it, and there trying some different turbos on it, as the problem on happened when they fitted the turbos so im assuming its either shitty aftermarket turbos of a fuel pump.

That is wayyyyyyyyy overpriced.

I let my 57 plate, MT on 90k go for £7500 2 years ago! I paid 13700 from a BMW dealer back in Dec 2012 (just over 5 years old at the time!)

Unless the market has changed the MT's were worth a fair bit less than the autos.

£11k for a moon mile 335i....don't even bother, for not much more you can buy a bloody M3. The only reason to specifically buy a 09/59 335 is the DCT box combined with an N54, and that one doesn't even have the DCT.

As others have said it's to much money. You really should consider an auto with paddle shift & you can always get the box remapped.
Most of the time ones in traffic & continually changing gear & using the clutch is a bore. When you do get some nice empty roads the auto is a blast, you can use the paddles or shift manually even around town you can have some fun. At least take one for an extended test drive, you maybe surprised.

Could be a number of things then.
As simple as boost solenoids though.
