It is a six year old car, plus does it have any other good selling points, such as leather, met paint etc.
How much was it new, and what are you PX it for?

Don't get too hung up on the price of your car.

It's the cost to change that's important.

Looks pretty fair to me for a part ex....

Dont think the low mileage matters too much on a 330d to be honest. In fact its done around 6k a year which begs the question - why did you buy a diesel anyway?

+1 on that.

You might as well keep it and put another 100K on the clock, probably be worth £3-4K grand then and at least you've got your money's worth out of it.

I would imagine the cost to buy an OEM SatNav unit and fit it would be more than the value gained on the PX price.

A car like this without SatNav isn't going to be detrimental to the sale price any how. That's dealer spin at it's finest. Most people looking at a 6 year old BMW's will be more than happy to stick a £150 TomTom to their windscreen.

Possible, but the cost would make it prohibitive.

Agree with the above, nav's not really the issue.

Hmmm, looks like if I want to get into a 330d I am going to have to punt the 320d privately.

Oh the joy of private selling vs dropping my pants on a trade in!

I just traded in my 2006 lemans blue m sport 330d touring with 70k on the clock for 10k. It didn't have sat nav but did have xenons, heated leather,bluetooth.

I would have though you might of got a little more than that?

Are you still looking to get an Ed 35?

It does sound miserly at face value, but what does that work out as per month in deprecition - in the region of £350? I know you'd expect the depreciation to tail off beyond year 3 say but losing in the region of £350 a month on a £30k+ car bought from new doesn't sound so horrific.

To be honest the interior of the E92 is bare and plain without Nav and you lose half the features of the car, most people buying this sort of car simply ignore the non iDrive cars.

Exactly. No Satnav = no screen at all = loss of a lot of extra functionality. Far more difference than a 5/6/7 series where you the screen and all iDrive controls anyway.
