It has been a while- Looking for E90 320D

[Camnefdt]

Wow I have been off this forum for some time! Wife forced the purchase of a Renault Kwid and the sale of my old e46 320i.
Long story short, I wrote off the kwid and told the wife i refuse to purchase another small car. So on the look out for my next BMW and have my eyes on the E90 320D. Looking for anybody that knows of a good one for sale for 80-100k, based in Durban but willing to fly to collect the car if its worth it! Anybody with a hidden gem

Looking forward to some mods and seeing what I can do with it. I have my own high end 3D printers and in the process of building a CNC and will be looking for what parts and mods will benefit the community that I can make.

Any specific car? Exclusive or M Sports? Auto or manual? Sunroof or xenons deal breakers? Mileage limit?

Not fussy, except that it must be the auto. They are a bit more reliable than manual. Needs to also be decently looked after and reliable.

I have a lead on a car in CPT that a mate of mine is going to have a look at. Its a base model but its very well maintained and currently at 150k on the clock. Its not pristine, but Its going for a good price.

the dream would be a 330D so rare to find one though.
i did see a e90 but a petrol on Gumtree few weeks ago for R75k but was sold a day or so later.

Just curious on how the auto is more reliable than the manual?

Theres a couple 330D for sale at the moment but unfortunately not within budget haha. I have a friend in CPT going to have a look today at the 320D going for 80k with 150k on the clock and full service history. Car looks very clean inside and out so its a possible winner
