£57K!?!?! Depends if you like losing 20k in 6 months?!

I'd say anything approaching purple will have a limited resale market.

Its an old E46 colour.
Will hit resale imo as it looks better on smaller cars.

Not Interlagos Blue? Lovely colour.. but maybe not 20k lovely..

[Donut]

Yes...

You could have it on the old E46 Clubsport.

Have it if you like it but don't expect the premium back when it comes to selling it.

Can look a bit OTT with Champagne but it what YOU think that counts.

Any pictures guys? sounds nice!!

Take it its brand new for that price!

Velvet Blue first appeared on the E36 M3 Evo. It's gorgeous IMO. Works on bigger cars too... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/346029.htm

mmmm that sounds nice in that colour. seen an e60 m5 in techno violet with champagne leather like my old e46 m3. looked really nice.

How on earth can it be £57k? I dont think you can get to that price by ticking all the boxes? Whats the spec like?

[eowen]

you can ;-)

I tried it yesterday. £62k, with individual leather, but not individual paint which I couldnt see on the configurator...

Given the base price of a 335d M sport saloon is £42k, you can kiss goodbye to the £15k of extras the minute you drive it out of the dealer, and expect the price to be about £35k within a year. Not forgetting the smaller market for selling a purple car....

[flattotheboards]

£57k , I wouldnt pay that for a 535d, you would lose alot of money very quickly with that car.
