hi all

looking at another 335d m sport..it is on a 2009 plate with 55k..

looking at the service record it is as follows

2/10/10 18 422 miles oil
23/9/11 36 552 miles oil and brake fluid
11/7/12 51 070 miles oil

I cant remember the service schedule on these as it is relagted to the i drive, but does the above look like it seems ok with the 18k miles between services.. the car also has 4 owners but the services were all done at the same dealer..

any thoughts much appreciated..

also are the bmw performance 6 pot gold calipers brakes worth much on these?

he is asking 22k..

My 335i is now over 60k and all the services have fallen between 15-16k apart.

Those intervals don't seem anything unusual to me.

Quite a few people have said the BMW performance brakes are pointless. No better than standard. They look good though.

Price seems steep to me for a car that's four years old. I'd of said it should be around the £20k mark....

thanks for the replies

it has a full performance bmw kit on it inc side skirts front and rear bumpers as well as the performance brakes hence the price! Also has the newer 313 wheels..

I wouldn't pay extra for the different bumpers etc.. I personally don't like the 313 wheels either.

The BMWP brakes are no better than the 335i/d standard brakes (I'm sure I read they're inferior) but they're better than the brakes on the rest of the range.

Looks like the car has 5 owners. So me being the 6th. Plus with the price being higher going to skip this one.

That is a lot for a 4 year old car and you have to wonder why.

The price is top end and there is other that are cheaper with good spec and lower milage for the same or less.

Quite a few out there, so no need to buy the first one.

Do you need a diesel?

Save more money and buy a 335i.

You'll get more car for your cash with running costs close.

It's better to drive.
