Hello:
I'm debating whether to sell or keep my (2000) 328 sedan, which has almost
99,000 miles on the odometer.I'm the original owner, and the car has been relatively trouble-free. I've had to replace an oxygen-sensor, as well as belts and steering bushings, but all other maintenance has been routine. The suspension feels a bit less supple than when new, but in all the car drives well. No problems with engine or auto-transmission. I live in Northern California, so the the car's exterior is in excellent condition.
At a recent service visit to a local BMW dealer, the service technician opined that maintenance on these cars becomes more of an issue starting at
110,000 miles.Has anybody else gone into over-100,000 mile territory with their E46? If I hold onto this car, should I expect frequent and expensive repairs? Would I be better off selling the car now, while it is still in good condtion?
Any advice would be much appreciated ...
