BMW 3-Series Run Flat Tires

Re: BMW 325i Wagon Run flats [teeeye]

Written by: densmith1 on Aug 19, 2008 04:30 AM

I have a 2007 328i and had my taranza's replaced at about 12,500 miles. The dealer put on the wrong Conti's (he put on go flats). He also scratched up my rims taking off the wheel weights. I went to a local tire store to see if they had someone who could touch up my rims. I was telling my story and this guy told me that what they put on my car was not run flat tires. When I called ...

teeye, The rubber compound was changed in 2006 after the onslaught of complaints. I have not seen 2007/2008 3'er complaints with the BS tires. I assume they are OK now but welcome anyones comments on experiences to the contrary. They should be OK but some posters demanded the Conti's and got them on their new cars. You might want to try that also if you are happy with ... Read More...

My 2007 328i sports package came with the Bridgestone Potenza's. The two front tires wore out on the outside after 30000 miles. A month ago I replaced the fronts with the Continental ContiSportContact 2 SSR. The rears weren't available until July 11 and they had some life left in them. Now the July 11 date has changed to a back order for these 255/40ZR 17 Continental ... Read More...

@nopcbs I just got back from Germany/Austria. There are loads of 1-Series small (sub 2-liter) diesel hatchbacks there. Way more to be seen than any other BMW model. There is no sub-2L-1-Series diesel. 118d, 120d, 123d are all 2.0L. The 3-series still sells better than the 1-series (8687 3ers in April), though 1-Series sales are up big time in Germany (8567 1ers ... Read More...

I haven't got the car yet. I saw some 2007 335i from Luxury Motor. Most are around $33K with Premium package and heated seats. I found one with 19" wheel (not even an available option), aero kit package, M badge on steering wheel for only $30K! It got to be a mistake. I checked the CarFax report and found it's a BMW Corporate car (with Manufacturer plate). I am looking ... Read More...

I am also planning what you are doing. Regarding warranty when I checked with BMW dealer they said you can get extended warranty (but no certified). But today when I called BMW directly I was told that BMW only offer extended warranty to original owner of the car. We can only buy third party warranties. Do you mind sharing what kind of deal you are getting. I am getting ... Read More...

CPO vehicle

Written by: r34 on Jun 25, 2008 11:33 AM

Can I get a 2007 335i from a non-BMW dealer and then bring it over to a BMW dealer to certify the car (I probably need to pay them $2000+)? Does it all depend on the dealer? I saw a very nice 335i form one place. The dealer charges the same model more than $5000. Will all BMW dealers retrofit the oil cooler for the turbo now? Thanks. Read More...

Re: BMW 2007 328i vs 2006 330i [munu]

Written by: abby9 on Jun 20, 2008 06:43 PM

Yes, it was a certified car. I think that the dealer may come down a little more, but I can't imagine him coming down another $2,000. MSRP is $35,445 and dealer retailer on Edmunds is $31,698. This was a loaner car at the dealership so it is clean and practically new. I haven't looked at the 330 as a comparison. My impression was that it had a larger engine and I didn't ... Read More...

Was it a Certified car? Actually I was offered 30,500 for 328i but it was a list price and Sales guy told me that they can go down by 1000 if I am intested. Infact they have a really upgraded car with (prem, sports, hi-fi sound, xenon etc) and dealer was willing to give that for 32.5K (12K mile and certified). I am still not sure about 330i or 328i. Do you know which should ... Read More...

The price you listed for the 2007 328i is better than what I was quoted today. For a 2007 328i (with Steptronic auto transmission as the only listed option) and 10,000 miles, I was quoted $31,880 + tax. Read More...
