What are peoples thoughts on this?

Does the new engine improve resale or make it harder to sell?

or would something like this be a better

The both look to be very good value for money.

Dr House, are you looking to buy? They are both low spec, and I personally wouldnt be interested in one with a new engine just because he has not given a reason, so was it down to a fault with the car, or the owners lack of care?

I took a despot on the 335i so I have started shopping. I am on a "limited" budget and would not be willing to go much over 20k +/-

I can't afford high running costs at the moment so no 911's or anything like that, I will probably just end up with another BMW of some sort be it a M3, 135i, Z4.

The guy said something failed in the engine, I can't quite remember what I think he said cylinder or injector so the car needed a full new engine.
The spec could be a little better, its missing the EDC but I don't think I can find a good one without spending a lot more.

I sent you a email.

The good thing about the car in the first link is that it will cost me nothing to run for a year, it has a 1 year warranty on it (1300 saved), new tyres, new discs and pads, it is also taxed so I will only really have to pay for insurance on it. I probably do 6k per year so I am not bothered but petrol.
