Do either of them meet the low emission zone requirements in Austria ? In London, the 4.4V8 generally meets ULEZ, but the diseasel does not.
 
My opinion would be that you should buy the car you want. I've had a 3.6 and 4.4 TDV8, both facelift, I like them. Also had a 2008 3.6 TDV8, they're all brilliant in their own way. at 205k I would imagine a lot of the things that would need addressing may well have already been done.

You've got a healthy maintenance pot so I'd say "go for it". Enjoy.

Sound advice. Got a call about the 4.4 AJV8 tomorrow N/A. If the service history looks okay, I will probably put an offer in. Take it straight down to get a service and all the oils changed.

Then just roll with it. Expect the worst, hope for the best...

Hello.

Oddly enough, they aren't that strict here in cities yet. Maybe it's because public transport is very good, meaning many people just choose to train it in anyway.

Plus, parking is very expensive. And cities are tiny, other than Vienna. Wonderful country, for sure.
 
Afternoon, everyone!

I am new to the forum. I am in the market for an L322 and have shortlisted it down to 2.

Option one has 121,000 miles, 4.4 V8 BMW 2003. 9.500 EUR.
Option two has 205,000 miles from the 3.6 TDV8. 5,000 EUR.

Both from dealers and both have solid service history.

From my understanding, the 3.6 TDV8 is a more reliable setup all over. Especially gearboxes.

I am based in Austria so unfortunately, I have very limited access to knowledge.
I got you a 2003 deep metallic blue l322 for 3,000 dollars if you can get it shipped or whatever . I imagine it would be quite expensive . I just replaced the power steering pump but belt is still freezing up and I'm tired of working in it
