STEVE-O Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Sit in a loaded 5 and I bet you wont buy a 3. Love mine! GLWP. Honestly if I could get something without idrive I would, for me there is a fine line between awesome additions and way to many damn switches and buttons. That is one thing I always hated about BMW and people say you get used to the I drive but I still hate it. I want a 5 for the Space but the 3s are much more common and therefore usually a little cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, at this point I can say I have zero issues Navigating though it. And with the Premiom sound is the best I have ever heard in a car (whin in HD), period. Id say CUE is a bit more of a PITA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallion Motorsports1647545491 Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 It's not awd, but I wonder why it's so cheap? https://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/6100344347.html Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 2008 535xiT 145k miles. I'm the second owner. All maintence up to date and I just did a walnut blast to clean the valves over thanksgiving. Aftermarket chargepipe and bov, OEM M5 side skirts, M5 front bumper. Cold weather package, navigation and Bluetooth, pano roof. It's completely loaded from BMW. Parking assist. M5 sway bars and end links. Dual cone intake. All vac lines have been replaced to silicone. The bad. The oil filter housing gasket has a leak. Not bad but seeping. Very common. I just haven't gotten the time to tackle it yet. It's on stock flash currently but can load a stage 1 or e85 map before you purchase. Super clean exterior and interior is spotless. Has the dog divider and cargo cover that's automatic. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee254/ca18det007/Mobile%20Uploads/23130117-F3BD-4CA9-8FC9-789C1CF70329_zpstxyf7hzk.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybye Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Any particular reason you must have awd? Central Ohio is flat and I personally do not see much of a need for it. With that being said. I absolutely love my 335i as a daily. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Had plenty of rwd cars and if they make it in awd I'm going that route, my e46 would get stuck in snow all the damn time. Also I always look at resale as well for the future, no one buys a fwd Audi for a reason Quattro is so common it's like having a great car minus one big feature. Just like a 4cyl wrangler or a 2wd Cherokee are they good yes but who the hell really seeks them out when there are much better options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Mileage is hit or miss with people. I don't really want to sell it and not motivated but thought I'd throw it out there. 335 is easier to mod and faster but 535 the comfort and drive is unmatched. You can't go wrong with either one to be honest. Xdrive is a pain in the ass for either car when it comes to down pipes and water pumps sub frame has to be dropped. Just make sure you find a can without wastegate rattle, injectors addressed, hpfp without issues , valve cover gasket done( BMW wants like $1000 to change it). At your price point none of these will be covered under warranty anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVE-O Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 https://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/6105116433.html Thanks for the look out I check Cl each day, saw this one a few ago and have now left them 2 messages and have not herd back on it. Fwiw I almost picked up a 2011 with 130k from work but it needed a driver seat module ($600) and control arm bushings made noise but I would have paid under 12 for it so I know they are out there and can be had but nice ones go quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
