Wanted - 335i Coupe - £15.5k budget
No longer required
Hi, I've just joined the forum as I'm looking to buy a 335i coupe. I have a maximum of £15.5k to spend with cash in hand. My requirements are FSH, mechanically sound, excellent condition and less than 60,000 miles. Auto preferred but I would consider a manual if everything else was perfect. Things I like are: * m sport (SE considered) * iDrive * Black or Red leather * Grey and black coloured cars * The more optional extra's the better * Silver or piano black trim Things I dislike are: * I don't like red cars * I don't like wood interior trim * Cream or Grey leather Ideally, I would like a 57 reg or newer efficent dynamics model so it is in the cheaper road tax bracket. A car with non run flats would be great. I'm based in Manchester but willing to travel for the right car. If your looking to sell your 335i let me know. Links to cars you've spotted which meet my requirements would be fantastic. Dan Last edited by DanTheManc; 05-05-2012 at 12:56 PM. Reason: Bought a car |

Thanks for the links Edowen.
I've been checking Audotrader every few hours, everyday for the past month and I've already had a look at those you've posted. The m sport in 2nd link is lovely. I love the alloys (and idea what those alloys are called) and its a good spec. My only concern is I would prefer black leather. Also, I forgot to mention in the original post I dont like the brown wood interior trim. There isn't any interior photos so I don't know if this car has that. Unfortunately the car is 170 miles away from me. I am willing to travel if a car ticks all the right boxes but this car falls very slightly short. If it was within 60 miles I would of definitely gone for a viewing. Also, being from the blue side of Manchester I couldn't bring myself to buy a red car. |

This car would be perfect. It looks great, Good colour, 57 reg, black leather, good spec and mileage. It's just a shame it's a 330i and not a 335i

Look for the well modded space grey one going on here. I can't do links on the phone app.
A dealer maybe able to change the trim for you. I know what you mean about finding the right one. I've been looking for a while and have come close to compromising but think id regret it if I did. The 335 seems popular atm. |

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ight=Grey+335i Very impressive mods. I'd prefer a newer lower mileage example to an older modified example. Stage 1 remap would be sufficient for me. Great car just not for me. |

I cant see a link or a pic but i think we're on about the same one. You'll end up modding it anyway but extensive mods can put people off as you fear big repair bills.
Your brief is very specific! It may take you a while to find. Mine is black, black and black lol. Paint, interior and trim. Lower tax bracket so Sept '07 onwards iirc. Preferably Nav and Bluetooth and DCT would be nice lol. |

Your right in saying most upgrade to the 225m's. I've just looked at both sets on google images and I thought the 225m's were standard on the m sport. |

For the time being I would prefer a 57 reg but I will bear yours in mind if none pop up. |

I was interested in this car, then i found out it has had 5 owners in less than 5 years so was a bit put off. The last owner only had it for 5 months. |
