Just seen this. Epic amounts of kits, and seems very good value.

What do you think the chances are of getting a decent discount on it, and does this seem like a fair price?

There were quite a few cars like this about a while ago but less so recently. Seems good to me, but wait and see what they offer for a trade in, if you have one. Maybe check out what options it hasn't got too - no mention of xenons for eg.

Beige interior will be hard to keep clean as a daily driver imo but got to be worth a look hasn't it?

'Tis what I want.

I don't tend to drive fast anywhere now, so something that's nippy enough for rapid mile crunching cruising is the requirement.

That's weird about the xenons....thanks for pointing that out!

Xenons are not listed as optional equipment as they are standard on the 335i.

If as you say you don't drive fast any more, why not go for a 330? More choice and cheaper.

If you can manage with 2 seats.....it's got to be a Cayman S.

I like the idea of having the bigger engine, and from what I read the 335i / 335d is a more relaxed cruiser vs. the 330 which has to be worked harder?

Has anyone driven the 330d vs. the 330i?

This is on near me:

I saw it on the weekend and it's pristine, lovely condition. They're asking a bit much for it, but lovely shape if I went for a 330i.

The engine in the 335i is smaller than that in the 330i - it's 2979cc versus 299somethingcc in the 330i.

Doesn't the 335 version come with any more kit as standard?

Sorry for all these newbie questions lol! I've just been trying to work out if the M Sport versions look any different from the outside to SE versions, and they don't seem too...much.

The twin exhausts on the 335's look very nice. Hmm....think I'll just have to go drive a few and see what I think.

35i engine is dreamy though!

So much torque, so low down... blows the 30i into the water IMO.

There's a reason why the 35i engine is award winning wink

LeMans with 225 alloys is a nice combo

I think its a bit over priced so you should be able to haggle down a bit ...seen early 335 coupe struggle to make £20k in private ads recently.
But now spring has arrived the market has picked up a tad.

No mention of upgraded sound/speakers...I've got logic 7 which is excellent, better than a £5K after market system other than low bass

Anyone seeing any gems?

335i or 335d?

Just been popping on the AUC site and there's not much about. Getting up in value again as well imo - 335d's for 27k sticker price, with reasonable amounts of kit.

Hope I haven't missed the boat lol!!

Hi Mate

Im shopping for a 335i or 645/650i.

Loads of the 6ers have gone from the BMW site. Mostly the best deals. Theres still a few about but hardly any black 645is.

Halliwel Jones, Southport have got a well priced 335d coming in soon. Not a high spec though.

Keep us informed of what you get man, and visa versa.. Im not looking to get mine for another 3/4 weeks..

I saw that one!

Lovely....but completely bare.

I'm tempted to go see it, but already decided on a sat nav / whiz bang version.

Do you think this is the shrinking supply of 2nd hand vehicles (and hence price moving up) everyone has been talking about - and as such....is now the time to buy before 2nd prices go up even further?

Is now, the last of the medium term bargains?

I dont think the prices will go up on stock thats already out there, but some new additions do seem steeper.

M-Sports are holding there value alot more. SE`s seems to be dropping, but cant bring myself to get one.
