E90 325d sport auto v manual
Discussion
Hey guys got opportunity to buy a 08 plate 325d sport convertible
Only problem is, it's manual
Does manual work with this car, or does it only marry with an auto,
Any common faults, dpf etc?
How does it react to remap?
Feel consumption? I do a lot of town driving and duals carriageways,occasional motorway blast will this sh*g the car?
Does it sound like a tractor? Will put me right off a convertible tractor
Any input appreciated

Sorry mate what's does AU stand For? Funnily enough the car Reg is actually jr57, but apparently it's private reg. And fox that's what I thought so, I always thought the 6 pot 3 litre works best in auto, I've driven a 530d sport in auto absolutely love that car in diesel, just this manual popped up now and I happen to be in the market looking for one, so just weighing up pro's and con's at the mo
Approved Used, therefore coming with a 12 months warranty from BMW, roadside assistance and so on
this it?

Nope, I was just being nosy. I think the price leaves room for negotiation given the age and miles and manuals are less popular; but I think if you want an auto, go for an auto. Unfortunately, in that model the next one one AU database is 4k more!
If you are interested, request a video.

Yea auto would defo be a better shout, but think I'd be paying at least 2k more for a auto variant. Think I can live with a manual and put that extra 2k towards extended warranty, tyres and servicing. The seats don't look in too bad Nick, doesn't look like it's seen 75k though, is it possible bmw could get in clocked cars my mistake?, I.e previous owner clocked before MOT, Or are they on top of there game and know exactly what's been logged onto cars computer, along with any changes? I'm currently trying to get this car delivered to a dealer abit closer to me, you think this is possible? Even if at a cost? I'm in London, can't get up to Chesterfield due to work

It leaves no room at all as it's a Stratstone car - they price them at the lowest they possibly 'can' (hence the odd prices) and apparently negotiate no further according to a few of the salesmen when we used to have the car sales thread. As a result it always seems they are cheaper than anyone elses AUC.I had a discussion on a car with Stratstone last Summer, and they were definitely open to negotiate; car dropped 1k over the time I was looking at it. However, it's price ended with 995 so it's a really interesting point about the odd pricing!!
Try it, but I still say if you want an auto, get an auto.
