My Z is getting old and I am thinking about trading it in for a 2008 330i with 80000km on the clock.

The car is in good condition, good price and drives beautifully. I also just got the motor plan history. Everything is normal wear and tear except the below. Other than that the car does not seem to have been driven hard judging from when brakes have been replaced.

Do you guys think I should be worried about these (note that this was all between 2009 and 2010). The costs are in Rand, divide by 12 to get the pound cost ;-)

That's more than I'd expect in a car with relatively low miles. Maybe the dealer was making some money on warranty repairs and went a bit overboard replacing stuff that wasn't that bad. I know main dealers do this.If the car is in good condition and has all the right stamps in the book, and is the right price,go for it.

Do dealers do this kind of thing? I'm shocked, frankly... :)
 
That's a hefty repair list :(

On the upside - could mean trouble free motoring for the next few years. Does it come with extended warranty

The only concerns I would have would be the cause for repeated exhaust manifold leaks.

Also, make sure it has has all the coils and injectors "upgraded" as per BMW improvement policy.

Cheers :)
