Should I give up on buying this 43?
Hi everyone,
I am new to the forum.
I am looking at buying a c43. 2018 -2021 with a 6 cylinders, and it challenging.
I am in Canada and most of what I see is high mileage or worrying stuff on carfax(es).
A dealer has a c43 assembled in South Africa, no service records for 24 000 kms.
Showing 7 owner changes. I am told that a lot of them are dealer taking the car as an exchange and resold
47kCAD
Is it worth pursuing?
Another one has one with 99800km for 43kCAD. I find the mileage to be too high and the price not reflecting the mileage IMO.
My other alternatives would be a 2018 m340i/ m440i with MPPSK or a 2020 m340i
I am at loss. Do you have any advice?
Thanks

That said to answer your question, you could try clutch (I have no experience with them) then get the vehicle PPIed.

Seven owners, no service history for 24k km hard no. The 99k km one is overpriced for what’s coming maintenance-wise.
Go M340i. B58 is solid, easier to find clean, and you won’t regret it. Be patient.

The bmw (performance?) sport exhaust is also not available in Canada.
