BMW 325i 2007

Hi guys,

I currently drive an E90 Alpina D3 MT, however insurance quotes are ridiculous for me at the moment! So I'm thinking of changing car and I have been look at the 2007 BMW 325i. Can anyone tell me what I should look for when viewing a 325i? Also a little bit about the cost of running and common problems would be great!

Also, feel free to suggest any other cars I should consider

Thanks.

I think in your part of the world, the 325i has the N52B25. while the N52 is generally a stout, reliable engine - the B25s are known for having ring sealing issues and burning excessive oil. Otherwise, it's other usual stuff for the N52 - a couple gaskets, replace the water pump, etc.
