335 M Sport ***Wanted*** - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

tomebberley · 08-20-2012, 11:32 AM

Hi Guys,
I'm currently looking for a 335 M Sport, after selling my e46 and leaving myself without a car

My only requirements are that it is manual, an M Sport and has full service history with less than 70k on the clock.

I have about 13k to play with but could push higher for the right car.

If anyone is considering selling or knows someone who is, please PM me

Nice choice, but are you looking for a "d" or an "I"??

davyk31 · 08-20-2012, 12:21 PM

Must be petrol if it's a manual he is after.

ChrisNI was selling a lovely low mileage one recently for near your budget. Took a while to shift but sold now.

I saw that one, looked like a very smart motor, with plenty of extras. Not too worried about I drive etc, I just want the looks of an msport and the power of the 335

Manual 335i are a pretty scarce motor as most people go for Auto. A lot will have Idrive, those without will be quite a bit cheaper.

i wouldnt be too concerned on the miles mate, mine is about to pass 90k but i got in today and I noticed it still had that new car smell. Go on history, condition and spec. I could only afford mine because it was leggy when I got it biut its the best car I've ever had and its a keeper. Spec on mine is ace, dab, digi tv, usb, bt etc etc and i couldnt have afforded a lower mileage one. But what really have i missed out on? It drives like new, car park dings and Mrs S's wheel dings it looks like a 1-2 year old car. If it wasnt for the digi read out, you'd be hard pushed to tell it from a 2 year old low miler.

No need to go for leggy miles with your budget. Leggy ones will be much less than you have to spend, the example Chris sold bears that out. From memory it was 30k miles with very decent spec incl Idrive for about £1000 more than you have mentioned. With cars like that available if you have the cash you would be mad to go for something higher miles. Also the fact it took a relatively long time for his to sell shows it a buyer's market for metal like this.
