[QUOTE="Schwepps, post: 359319, member: 3592"] You won't find such a list because condition is individual to each car. The E90 manual and service booklet say nothing. It's good that the brake pads, discs, alternator and some hoses have been changed. Seems normal for a 80k car. You can expect the following to need changing between 80-120k in a NORMAL car (other forumers might add to it): - Engine mounts - Suspension bushes - Wheel bearings - Belts - Battery - All fluids, including ATF if you want - Pumps (water, fuel, oil, steering) - Critical sensors like O2, flywheel, gearbox - Cat converters and other exhaust parts Be aware that the cost of these parts in a BMW is 2-3 times that in a Jap or national car, and each repair visit will never be below 4 digits. You could ask the spares dept of a dealer for the cost of each part and add 30% for labour as a gauge. BMW has a very good Premium pre-owned program where the cars are fixed up by them, and a 6 or 12 month warranty is given. Compare the cost of a direct purchase+maintenance versus the cost of a premium selection+12 month warranty. Saving RM20k in a direct purchase may be vapourous if you're unlucky. Not trying to discourage you, but just encouraging you to use your head rather than your heart when buying a pre-owned car. ;) [/QUOTE]
