I have just bought a-
BMW E93 320i Cabrio
2.0L Petrol
Manual
2009
MSPORT
92k mileage

Love the shape of the car, love bimas
Was this the right choice, or as drivers is this car problematic?

The 4 cylinder engines can be very problematic

Ahhh darnnn it, I know that the common problems are the Coils & Injectors, anyone know any other faults and issues.
Still have warranty.. would you recommend me to get rid of it asap😂 and if so what alternatives?? For £3700 (can’t be a diesel or above 2.0L)

For £3700 just drive it and enjoy it! Especially with a manual transmission... get it out of the city and open it up!

Stretched timing chains, broken chain guides, HPFP if it's an N43 and also valve stem seals

Sounds great, just get in and drive it. Every secondhand car brings problems so a BMW is no different. The E93 is a great car, just look after it and hopefully it'll look after you

After a short drive I’ve realised the car moans and hums from 0-30mph(loud) and quietens down after 30, anyone know the cause of this or fix for it ?

Possible wheel bearing.
Does the sound stop if you turn the car to either side?
