Morning Elijah

Welcome to the Forum

Normal things, does the cars general condition match the mileage. What is the service history (check it if you can) Make sure everything works inside all the switches and gadgets (there are no cheap fixes) Mechanically the BMW straight six is a strong engine it should be smooth and vibration/knock free, Gearbox is ZF and should have been serviced also if not it will need doing.

Reading the add the guy sounds like a bit of a Trader so questions like is the title in his name may tell you more

Good Luck

Dave

      Low Oil Pressure Light on E90

      ***OIL PRESSURE WARNING SOLVED***BMW E90 with same issue. Intermittent Oil Pressure Warning light for around a year. No performance issues or strange noises.Started when slowing down coming off highway and then progressed to when driving around town as well.Tried a can of Wynn's Super Charge Oil Treatment and after a few days light stopped coming on around town but still after highway driving. Bought another can and poured that in and six months later no warning lights. Guessing will have to do this again after next oil change but so far so good. Car running and sounding better also.

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hi David Welcome to the Forum A Vin decoder is a useful tool as it lets you know what was on the original cars build sheet but that only tells you what toys it should have. As its a 2021 car it will have had one MOT which hopefully is clear of any advisories, you can check recall and MOT at www.gov.uk/check-mot-history Next check all tyres are correct and in good condition odd or mismatched tyres can cause havoc with Transfer cases Transmissions and diffs. The rest is History History History plus making sure everything works as it should Good Luck Dave

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hey everyone, I’m thinking about buying a 2021 BMW X3 and want to make sure I’m covering all my bases before making a decision. I’ve heard about VIN decoders and how they can give you details about a car, but I’m not sure what kind of info they actually provide. Do they show anything useful, like accident history or open recalls? Or are they just for basic specs? If you’ve used one that worked well, I’d love to hear about it and any tips for getting the most out of it. Thanks so much!
