Anyone tried a 135d/335i/335d yet?
Errr, a quick read through the thread will tell you.... smile
Sorry, too lazy to read through the 9 pages boxedin

They don't do a 135d only a 135i (coupe/convertible only) and I'm pretty sure the 135i convertable has been done. Seeing as you've asked though:
(At work so can't use any hosting sites for images as they're blocked)

BMW 335i M Sport Highline convertible: £57,455.

BMW 335d M Sport Highline Coupe: £51,450.

Thanks smile

£50k for one of those rofl
I think that's rather ok, considering I configured a 45k 318d...
At least in a 335d you can make some progress...

I agree to an extent, but I'd be having an M3 instead.

A 335i or 335d isn't a "not-that-nice" car though - I'd happily own one. a 318d on the other hand...

My point exactly.
If it were my money and I had to spend it, I'd pay the 5k extra to get the 335d.

An A3 Sportback:



A boggo A5 2.0:



And an S3:

Bump.

It's been almost 2 years, what can we do now? Here's a near-27 grand 90hp diesel 2wd ryman in brown with steels for starters.

Well, you can get a boggo 105ps A3 1.6 TDi up to £37k, so the Golf R could almost be considered a bargain.

Just specced a Mercedes B class up to £33.5k. Seriously, who would spend that much on a B class when they could get a decent C or low E class for that?

Only thing missing is the vinyl roof.

one thing that's for sure is the option's on most/all cars is a rip off.the next biggest rip off is the price of spare parts and the fitting of them,but that's another topic

Couldn't quite push it to over the £30k mark, but it's still a diesel auto minibus that's as ugly as sin!
