Hi Im new to this site and am looking for a White or red exterior on red interior convertible. If you have 1 or know of anyone selling 1 please let me know. SERIOUS cash buyer willing to travel, reside in NJ but can go out of state.

Required:
1. Convertible
2. Red interior (maybe brown)
3. Loaded
4. Maintained properly
5. Looking to spend $13-15000 (I'm being reasonable right?) 2007-2009 with around 60k-80k miles?
6. Automatic- Steptronic

I'm a student and don't have the time or money to have the car at a mechanic shop every month so please keep that in mind. I've found the exact car im looking for with the right price and other preferences but not the color combo that I want. I prefer a white or red exterior but might be interested in other light colors. 2 questions I have are, is the 335i more problematic than the 328i? Is it cuz of the turbos? And do these trims do fairly in NJ winter weather if equipped with the right tires? I have a lot of questions don't mind me. Call or text me at 973-767-3591. I've had bad luck with every car I've owned so far, from car getting stolen to the recent wreck of my C300, which I'll get to later on if anyone wants to read an interesting story (Google Operation Jacked).

I doubt that

Not for an 07-09 car with about 70-80k miles, you are mistaken, internet is full of them i just have to find the right color combo.

I paid 41k for my 2011 e93 fully loaded. Your price may be a little low especially if you are looking for one that is not riddled with problems, you should be able to find a e92 for that?

The more specific you are, the less likely you are to find everything you want.

You have a difficult road ahead of you. Best of luck.

Thank you. When did you buy the 2011? Was it brand new? I figure the car im looking for is 7 to 8 years old with somewhat high mileage (60-80k) so it shouldnt be so expensive. Here are 2 that im currently holding out on. What is your opinion on them?

Neither one is what you listed above as what you want. The one that is closer to 'fully loaded' is a 328i

Convertibles are usually more expensive and you want a used one that's loaded, with either brown or red interior, and maintained properly for $13-15,000? Not sure about the prices over in NJ, but your price range seems low for what you want. There may be convertibles at that price range, but usually not fully loaded, well maintained, and probably has issues/ maintenance needed. A 328i convertible will be more in your price range than a 335i and most likely will be more reliable overall.

with the price range your def looking at a 07-09 328i, and 80k-100k miles.

Even at that point you will have to do some negotiating. It is possible to do though, and you maybe be at the higher end of your price range just because you want one of the two top interiors.

With patience and upfront money you can pull it off. Just doubt you will get a 335, and that any car you get will be under 90k miles. GL!

An 07 e93 335i would be the worst car you could get if you don't want it in the shop every month. 07 335i's are the least reliable out of all the years and throw the hard top on top and it gets expensive quick. Go for the 328i as they are more reliable but still, the hard tops are known to have more issues.

Red/Saddle, add 3-5K, no joke. They are the most sought after interior by far, (they are uncommon and everyone wants them). For 15k, you are looking at an 07 328 e93 with 100k+, not loaded and I doubt you can even get black interior. You are looking at like a crappy tan interior.

2 years ago I tried to find a 335i in the 15k range, and ended up spending over 25k to get the car I wanted with all the options I wanted. Either pay the money up front to get what you want and not high miles, or you will likely pay for it in repairs later.
