Hi all,
I am guest in here and will ask owners/mechanics about 2001 330xi 120k km which I found for reasonable price and package/color combination I like. It's grey metallic 5 sp. H/K, grey/blue leather sedan.
Car nice, one oner, records, but few thing looks suspicios to me.
1. Engine hesitates on idle more than I expect from 6 inline and compare to 2000 323i with 105k km which I drove week ago.
2. Loud sound from engine transferee through all body like you driving truck or small truck (so not been with 2000 323i as well)
3. Knocking sound from the engine , like bend valve or valves out of adjustment.
4. Car have double exhaust pipe but smoke (was normal grey) coming only from left pipe (looking from rear)
5. Car was long time on the lot around 5 month and brake rusted/bended.
I want to try ultimate driving experience but afraid of Ultimate Lemon and stories about Rocket maintanance prices. Also snow traction of regular RWD. Thats why I looking XI.
Please help me decide buy or not.
Big thank's in advance,
LX.
