Yeah, I noticed that one a few days ago and it's been awaiting pictures since. It's the same spec and price as the one near me, but with a much lower mileage and arguably a better colour combo. I'll give them a call and get them to send me over the PDF.

I saw a Convertible 335i msport on 2008 plate with 55k for 12999 at cargiant , bodywork was far from perfect but nothing a good polish wouldn't get out . Are they twin turbo or single turbo ?

Edited by frosted on Wednesday 26th October 10:54

Link? A coupe in that spec BMW AUC would be about £18k. The 335i with the N54 engine is twin-turbo, the newer 335i's are single twin-scroll turbo.

Auto box is preferred

Awesome! That black one above then sounds fantastic - I'd get onto it asap

[frosted]

The cheapest one is 15k http://www.cargiant.co.uk/pda/detail.asp?id=525477...

I'm not sure if that link will work , I will try and find the old one , I posted it on here somewhere

Yeah, I'd be a bit reluctant to buy from them. I'm keen to stick with a BMW AUC.

I've just spoken with BMW regarding the black one above and he's going to take some snaps and email them over to me now. I like idea of the cream beige interior, just hope it's not got those horrid faux wood dash inserts.

Had a 330d Sport followed a year later by the 335d the month they became available.
The 335 never gave me more than 34mpg and averaged 32mpg in my 23k miles.330d was maybe 5/6mpg better.
335 is faster but its main advantage is that it revs more freely and is smoother. Both cars are plenty fast enough though.
At the end of the day the 335d was better but not worth the extra.
The light leather colour (Lemon Daytona i think IIRC )looks great when new but is impractical and looks worn and grubby pretty quickly. Black so much better after a few years.

Hiya mate

if it helps any, i've had an e46 330i touring,320d again touring an e46 m3 followed by a e92 m sport 335d and an e92 m3 (manual) the one I missed out on was the 335i which I regret as a cracking car that the 335d is after a while it got a bit "boring" it was very capable but you will get bored with 4500 rpm something the petrol wouldnt suffer from!

For me 335i

cheers

That's a lot of car for very reasonable money.
Nicely specced,low miler.
Iyrs warranty from BMW as well,that would be a very,very serious contender for me personally.
Get the pics up once you've bought it.

I'd hope they'd match the deal I've been offered elsewhere which included 2 years warranty

[martin mrt]

To be fair if they can't match the 2nd years warranty on the lower mileage car, the extended warranty from BMW is only around £450 per year

The beige isn't to my taste personally, as everything including carpets centre console etc is beige and too hard to keep clean

[Mazdarese]

The black one is sold
