Yes, my piston rings were gone lol, I had 100k kilometers on the G, and I traded it in

What was your trade in value, or did you not tell them about it? I'd imagine it would puff out blue smoke with even part throttle. I thought 2004's were not the oil burners and that started with the 2006's and up?

I got 9,500 for it, and yeah I didn't tell them. But the G somehow stopped smoking on start the week before the trade lol so it worked out

I feel so bad for the next owner. And getting 9500 out of it is actually a really good sell.

Yeah, same here. Not kosher, as even a typical inspection would not find this unless you do compression and leak down tests which are extra and rarely done.

Yeah I did feel very bad but, the dealership did not even start the car, the guy just walked around and said "very clean, yeah we will take it". They also had a few lamborghini's and masserattis for sale, I'm sure they can fix it. But there is no way someone buying will not notice the oil burning and smoke lol

Congrats on the upgrade 335. They're nice cars. Red interior looks different. Keep the mods clean and stylish, and of course keep up with your maintenance.

You are quite fortunate to be able to own/afford one at your age.

If it was a private party I would feel bad. A dealer, not so much. They are in the business of f'ing people and need a little back.

Clean car, homie.

I just joined the car scene with a G that's identical to yours, I'm also in the Toronto area lol.

BMW looks clean though.
