Your opinions on this 335d please

[a4cabrio]

Could i pick the brains of those of you who know more about these cars than I do please. Just like a general opinion of if it's priced right, does it look ok?? Also the wheels, are they genuine BMW wheels?? The ad doesn't say it's got xenons, but I am sure it has looking at the pics.

Thanks for any help

The interior is a bit of a mess. The wheels are the m6 style and possibly fakes as there are loads on ebay.

If it wasn't for the engine I wouldn't buy it personally due to styling and the awful interior.

Poor spec (No iDrive?) and fake wheels put me off.

When you say the interior is a mess, what exactly do you mean??

The wheels are putting me off big time, only way I would be interested in it, is if they were genuine and in a sellable condition, so I could buy some mv3 wheels, is that the name of the original wheels??

Seems reasonably priced though but agree with you about the wheels.

Personally I'd stay away from any company that spells paddle as 'PADAL'. Wheels are st, interior doesn't gel at all and they're making some money on that car, regardless. I don't like it. Mind you, reasonable mileage if it's kosher but then again looking at it, it's probably spent it's life being thrashed around a town centre rather than anything meaningful. I still don't like it.

The wheels, wood trim and no i-drive would put me off that.

[rb5er]

The fact that people can nick it without even needing the keys would put me off.

When you put it like that, I am no longer interested. it's probably cheap for a reason, I don't want to find out why. I am going to stick to my search for a 330d and not get my head turned by something I will probably end up regretting.

Cheers for your input everyone,

That seems like a lot of cash for a 6 year old diesel. Is that market value?

That's actually cheap for a 335d

Those wheels look terrible.

It does have Xenons, and the wheels are snides. If the history stacks up its worth a bid.

The wheels are a big no no for me, if I was to buy it they would have to go, but not gonna go and look at if they are replica wheels, wouldn't get the money to replace them for the mv3's. Don't fancy spending a grand on new wheels and tyres on it straight away or how ever much it would cost

Good luck with it mate, hope you get what you want. Let us know how you get on!

The wheels tell me the owner is a moron and would instantly put me off.
