I have a Oct 09 325i M-Sport E90 and at the moment through webuyanycar, it is showing as worth £12k. I do realise that this site will always undervalue but even say they are undervaluing it by £1k is the original posters 320d worth £1.5k to £2k more that my 325i?

My extras are
Leather Seats
Heated Seats
Business Sound
USB Connection
Tinted rear windows
Split/Fold rear seats

Will BMW dealers offer you more as a trade in that say Audi? I'm contemplating going up to a 5 series or Audi A6 so want to know as much as I can before I make a decision.
A few years ago i was offered £21000 for my year old fully specced E90 M Sport 335i by webuyanycar - i ended up getting £27000 from a BMW dealer straight sale.

I based my part exchange value on PARKERS USED CAR VALUATION - their prices have always been spot on when i have been selling cars to dealers and also by looking at similar cars for sale from BMW AUC and deducting a dealer mark up %.

The OPs 320d is definately worth a decent premium over your 325i assuming both cars are in similar condition with average miles. Parkers has the price difference at around £2000 in favour of the 320d - thats the price youve paid for having a sweet petrol engine instead of a dirty derv

I am about to experience the same thing later this year when i sell my car.

Different dealers will give different prices so ring around to get the best price possible.
