Hello all,
I am new to this forum because I am seriously in love with a BMW Gran Coupe Competition Package from 2017.
- Millage= 23.000 kilometers
- Price = 76.000€ (its in Europe)
- Equipment = Full (if I am not wrong: 01CA, 01CC, 01CD, 0223, 0248, 02MK, 02NK, 02PA, 02PQ, 02VB, 0320, 0319, 0322, 0323, 056, 058, 03AG, 0415, 0416, 0423, 0430, 0441, 0453, 0455, 0464, 0488, 0496, 04MA, 04MC, 04NC, 04UR, 0508, 0548, 0552, 05AC, 05AG, 05AS, 05DL, 0601, 0609, 0610, 0654, 0698, 06AC, 06AE, 06AK, 06AM, 06AN, 06AP, 06AP, 06F2, 06FV, 06NW, 06UK, 06WD, 0760, 07MA, 07ME, 0845, 0868, 0877, 0886, 08KA, 08R9, 08S2, 08S3, 08TF, 08TH, 09AA, 0XD5, A105)
I know the price is not precisely low compared to US prices and also considering that taxes are increasing for thermal engines here in Europe, specially this one that is classified as one of the most polluting cars. So I would try to negotiate the price and/or request the most pre/post selling service they can offer.
I was wondering, with your width experience on this car, if you could advise me on what to check and what to ask to the dealer before buying it.
My thoughts:
1. Features: Check that everything works
2. Error codes: Make a diagnosis to check the history and if it is currently ok
3. Ask for wheels replacement (front ones are at the end of their life)
4. Paint: Clean, polish and coating the paint.
(I personally was even thinking on make a wrap protection in the future)
5. Engine: Make a full service (oil, filters, paddle breaks check/replacement, ...) Also see if there is any way to know the conditions of the engine (not sure how the previous owners treat the car and oil consumption could be an indicator.. ??
6. Interior: Ask for new car mat / trunk protector
7. Software: Ask for the last SW update of all systems in the car (idrive, ...)
8. Battery: Ask to check the battery status and for a replacement if needed
Any suggestion from your experience when it comes to ask the dealer?
What things should I check in a test drive and in general to ensure the car is in perfect conditions?
Here it is the lady, hope you like it as I do.
I promise more pictures if I finally buy it
Thanks a lot beforehand!
