Chances of finding a CPO 07 e90 6at with an oil cooler?

tke344 · 03-19-2009, 08:04 AM

Basically the title says it all. I'll be on the market this fall for a CPO 335i, and I think at this point im leaning towards the sedan.

I know that some people were getting retrofits as long as they had the sport package + 18" wheels but seems like it was less common on the e90, especially the steptronic. Am I going to be after a car that doesn't exist?

Slim to none, and slim just left town.

Guess I could use that as a bargaining chip...

I was able to get my hands on a 07 335i sedan w/oil cooler. They are out there...

I think any '07 that was built March '07 and later with sprots package should have the oil cooler.

I found an 07 sports package, premium package, steptronic, with oil cooler.... had 16,000 miles and i paid 27,000 for it. They are out there, you just have to look. If you do not want a Xi look in CO for 2 wheel drive models. They are cheap as no one really wants a rear whheel drive car in the snow. I found a few good deals in Denver when i was looking.

Can someone post a pic of the '07 engine bay referencing the oil cooler? I want to know if mine has one.

I won't thank BMW. No oil cooler = FAIL. At least that's what warranties are for.

Thats a great deal you got. I'm in NY and most of the e90s around here are xi's but I'll be going with RWD. I'm confident that a winter wheel/tire setup will be more than enough to get me through the season.

I drove my G35 coupe with the OEM 19"s all winter, I couldn't bring myself to buy snows when I had already decided on getting rid of the car... Took my Dad's car the 4 or so times it actually snowed. It's amazing how bad summer tires are even in a dusting.

I'd imagine there will be a lot of them out there in a little while... just not many yet as they're not coming off lease at this point. The ones that had the oil cooler were late '07 builds... and even if they did 24 month leases (the shortest period BMW does, I think) they're not going to come off lease and get CPO'd until later this year.
