Was having a root around and found this...

http://www.approved.bmw.co.uk/bmwuk/bmwauc/details...

3 years old, 320d M Sport, black with black leather and a years Approved Used warranty for £13,500

I'd even prefer those standard alloys over the all-too-common- MV3s

Surely thats cracking value?

I dunno, looks a bit sparse in there, especially where the satnav monitor should be.

Poverty spec?

Interesting observation. To me its already got the M Sport upgrade, and the leather is a bonus.

Of the 252 320d M Sport saloons on AUC that are diesel, manual and 3.5 years or younger, approx 2/3rds have NAV.

Of those that have leather most have NAV. Except this one.

Could be why its so cheap. Wouldnt put me off.

You'd have to go another £2,000 to get a 2010 320d M Sport with leather and NAV.

I'd prefer to pay around the same for an SE Business Edition with usually Pro Nav, leather, piano black dashboard trim. Beats a go faster body kit IMHO.

No nav is a plus point! Nav etc are the things that are obsolete after a few years. Also inferior to a TomTom you can buy at the supermarket!

Overpriced maybe but most certainly not inferior. My pro nav urinates all over my tom tom and I've also had it three years and haven't noticed any obsolescence. Are you talking complete testicles by any chance?

I wouldnt go that far.

The version avail in 2010 in an e90 wont be the hard drive based version and certainly wont be touch screen like even the cheapest tomtom.

Theres a lot to be said for an integrated system but its something i dont think i'd like to be paying £2,000 extra for on a three year old, which is the price difference on this.

I still think its interesting that for all BMW's talk of 'residual values', heres a three year old 320d M Sport at a main dealers with a years approved used warranty and a FBMWSH for way less than half its price new.

For comparison, i looked at a 2010 Golf GTD at the weekend with leather and no nav for £15995, and a 2010 Audi A4 TDI 170 S Line for £17495 with half leather and no nav for £17495, both from non franchised dealers.

Mine was registered September 2010 and is hard drive based.
I "think" it came in with the facelift cars.

+1, Mine (late 2011) is excellent, easily worth the premium, brilliant system.

Poor spec (Crap relector lenses so no Xenons), no navigation, discontinued model and above average mileage for year. Just how much more did you want to pay for it? tongue out

Yes it will - HDD based CIC iDrive was introduced from September 2008 build on the E90, E91, E92 and E93 and therefore all facelift E90 cars with Pro Nav will have the HDD based system with the same user interface as current new-model cars.

He said he 'thought' and you said he 'could' be right so I felt it would be useful to clarify.
