Hi,

Is anyone looking to sell their E90/E91 320D|325D|330D with the following spec?

- Under £10k
- Le Mans Blue
- Auto
- Up to 80k mileage
- Sat Nav
- Heated Leather Seats
- M-Sport
- Front & Rear Parking Sensors
- Xenon Lights
- Decent Service History

I know it is probably unlikely but thought I'd try my luck

i've got a 335d for sale which ticks all the boxes apart from the colour and mileage?

[redlion]

Thanks clart for your reply. Out of curiosity what is the colour and mileage?

I was just a tad worried about maintaining the twin turbo over the single in the 330D hence wasn't searching for them along with the drop in MPG and the huge availability of torque which maybe too much to handle for the OH compared to her 2.0D/177BHP.

Black, 142k but drives superb. Has had all the common issues fixed and comes with a warranty.

Thanks clart for the link. I still have my heart set on a Le Mans Blue so will continue my search and hopefully someone has one to sell!

I know of a E90 320d space grey one for sale. Facelift model. Low miles. If you are interested?

Thanks for updating the thread. Looks like a good spec minus a few bits I am looking for such as an automatic gearbox. What had he listed it for?

[ChrisNI]

£10,500 ono ... im sure he would be open to a good offer though.

[redlion]

Thanks ChrisNI. I will keep that in mind if I deviate from my original want list.

[bytejunkie]

have you gone to BMW and asked them if they can find one? they can search the dealer network for the right car can't they?

[dy63]

your search is too broad. you must know whether you want a 320d or 330d ?

[redlion]

@bytejunkie I have not asked my local dealership so will see if they have anything. I only regularly check AT, E90 Post and Piston Heads.

@cupraraj Heart says 330d for the 6 cylinder over the 4-pot. I can get hold of a 07 335d but worried about the reliability of the twin turbo and the excessive torque. Also keep looking at the LCI on the roads and don't want buyers remorse on getting a pre-LCI so keeps clouding my judgement.

[dy63]

if your after 6 cylinder LCI budget isnt enough mate. 330d is more trouble free than 335d.

Pre LCI 330d are coming hard to find with spec.

[redlion]

I am aware that I need to up the budget for an LCI 6 cylinder. I would prefer to stick to my 10k budget to allow for any future bills hence looking at 06/07 Pre LCI 330d but as you have pointed out finding any with spec is getting harder and harder!

These popped up on AT which are still commanding a lot of money:

I do like the 325d's interior which is different to the usual black leathers look.

[redlion]

Anyone looking to sell their E91 LCI 330D please get in touch

[redlion]

Any opinions on the following I have found this week? Worth a look and haggle or do they seem spot on with their asking price in-relation to their spec?

How much of a hit will the 330D make on MPG vs the 320D? I do around 350/400 miles a week so unsure compared to my current 2.0 TDI which does about 50MPG regardless of how it is driven.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[ahmedb]

I have a manual LCI E90 320d (184bhp) and I achieve 50+mpg without having to be extremely cautious.

The 335d gets around 35mpg if driven carefully. Not sure what a 330d would be capable of.
