E92 with replaced dct transmission under warranty worth buying?

Hi all, I'm in the market for an used e92. I checked one locally with no accident before and still under warranty. But the transmission was replaced under warranty. How does it affect the value of the car? It's a dct transmission.

Thanks in advance.

Snowboard rack

So I discovered that my BWM roof rack system from my E90 M3 will fit the F80. I just need to adjust the width a little....easy to do. Now the question I have is what are you guys using to actually hold the boards?



Previously I had the BMW board carrier but you can only carry 2 boards. I need room for 4.



Will a thule or other easily mount to bmw cross rail without those ugly clam shell brackets? I.e. Can you use some sort of t-nut to bolt it directly to the cross rail channel? How much depth do you have for bindings?



Pictures!



Thanks




SO M4 this morning...

Was driving to work this morning and saw a SO M4 with delivery plates on it going from the A6 to the A63 around 0620. Anyone dropping off their car from ED? I was driving the Phoenix Yellow E46 M3 waving at you.



Probably a bit hard to see in the early morning darkness. But the Sakhir Orange looks great!




Trade up to 335i?

So I have a 07 328i, with almost 90k. I've replaced practically everything on the car. I also have a 08 mustang gt -4.6L V8. It's a 14 to 13.8 second car in the 1/4 mile.



Anyways, I'm thinking of upgrading to a 335i, since it's slightly faster than my mustang and identical to my 328i, which I like, just not having to replace a new part every month. No warranty.



I don't have a family or kids, but do need the car to haul stuff occasionally.



Would it be a good idea to trade both of my cars for an 11 335i? Or should I get another brands car like MB E350, Audi, etc.

E90 steptronic initial driving observations

Hi everyone,



The more days that go by owning my lovely 10 plate E90 I notice something.



Most recently, I've noticed that when heading to and from work in the morning/evening, in steptronic mode there are noticeable judders when changing up gears. They tend to disappear after 10-15 mins of controlled driving but I was just wondering whether this is normal for the auto transmission e90?



Thanks
