330Ci Common Problems

Hi guys

I'm thinking about buying a convertible 2003 330Ci Sport, but wondered if there were any common faults that I should be aware of before purchasing?

The car has only done 59,000 miles, has an SMG gearbox, and a full BMW service history.

Is it likely in your experience that anything is due to go wrong any time soon / any major work needing done?

Cheers

    Hey, and welcome to the BMWOC mate

    The 330ci is a lovely car with a very good engine. It is unlikely you will have any problems BUt.. and there is a massive But. Like ALL cars you buy, if it was treated poorly before and/or it's been patched up to sell (hidden faults) your going to be in for a rough ride but again, Like ALL cars.

    If anything does go wrong, we are pretty savvy on here so we will help you at the drop of a hat

    Welcome to the club mate.

    As Daz says, they are fantastic pieces of kits.

    But...make sure its been looked after, do as much research as possible into its history.
