I know it's not easy to say but what kind of money are these generally making. Obviously I would pay good money for an honest car. I was told by the dealer that the previous owner traded it in for an M2?

I've googled common issues online but would like some first hand experience from some Irish owners if possible. What kind of costs are you looking at for maintenance? What are they like to live with day to day? I'm currently driving a Clio 197 that returns around 23mpg so I'm guessing the 335i might be a little worse than this?

Thanks in advance guys!!
I own the diesel twin turbo e92, so might not be of much help. But the 335i can be reasonable on fuel if driven easy, not uncommon to see near 35mpg on a very relaxed motorway stint, if you cane it of course this drop dramatically!

Issues that I'm aware of are HPFP and injectors can give a bit of bother, while not cheap, they are not insurmountable problems.
