When i say mine is fully loaded .... it is , the only thing it hasn't got are the electric seats and that special cruise control .

After i picked myself up from the floor i said i would be keeping my car , he then said let me just check and came back with an offer of £30000.

He had killed it from the start.
Scoot - I thought you had ordered a new GT-R? The M3 is superb, but performance wise this car is in another league.

Scoot, are you not tempted to look at maybe an import later this year if March 09 is too far away ? Seems crazy to look at such a new M to keep for a year.

In a years time I think we`ll see E92 M3`s for £40K and thats when I`ll trade the current M in.

The saving importing now is about £8000 to £10000. The problem is though that if it goes wrong where would you take it ? No one knows yet how to service them either and i woundn't want to take that risk.

Also i think when the UK one arrives that saving will mostly be taken up in depreciation.

I think you're right about the M3 , but what got me going was the offer for my car. I think though even if i wait a few month's i won't be in a worse position regarding my trade in.

I've just had a chat with a friend who deals in high performance cars and he doesn't think its a very special deal anyway. Says the market is stuffed at the moment and i'm best waiting 6 months.

The problem is then the GT-R wont be too far away.

Scoot in reality I would say your only really being offered £30K for the 335d and the other £2.5K is coming off the sticker price, now if you could get £32.5K for the 335d and £2.5K off the M3 that would be worth going for.

Most BMW salesmen are muppets. What a ridiculous opening offer. Do they think we are fools?

I actually know a local BMW sales guy quite well - before he was a "BMW" sales guy he was a muppet - now he's even more of a muppet!
