Yes, cold weather package is required to get the 60/40 split fold down rear seats in the E90. Only the coupe has them as standard. Also will be taking retirement and moving to the mountains....but it does get cold here in North Texas. Nothing like Boston but it all depends on what you are used to.

Looking for 335i convertible:
- Black or red interior
- Under 60k
- Auto or manual
- Loaded if possible

Kolyan2k · 05-19-2011, 04:27 PM

e90 08 335xi with 41k miles showed up today, but no pictures, and its getting sold tomorrow.....

BMW auction was last week, so next BMW Financial sale is a month from that day....When I was at Audi Financial sale they had like 200-250 Audis to choose from, but only 2 that I liked

Are you ready to buy a car without looking at it ? Are you ready to give me like $2-3k cash deposit ? Are you aware that there is no guaranty that vehicle is 100% perfect ? Do you know that you will loose your deposit if you dont pick up the car ?

I AM NOT A DEALER. I DONT GUARANTY ANYTHING. THATS WHY I WOULD PREFER TO SHOW THE CAR IN PERSON TO THE BUYER.

^ DONT ASK ME TO LOOK UP CARS IF YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THE ABOVE

EDIT: Cars that need some work done (some major, others just need a good detailing) will cost less then the ones that are already perfect. Big name dealers like to buy perfect cars because they can immediately put them on the lot for a higher price. Would I buy say 2008-2009 BMW with 10-15k miles without looking...YES, would I buy 2006-2007 BMW with 40-50k miles without looking..... NO....< unless you have some skill to fix minor issues (detail the cars, replace some interior plastics etc) and are not picky.

AND IF YOU WANNA RELY ON ME TO LOOK AT THE CAR, TEST DRIVE IT, AND INSPECT IT.....THATS A WHOLE DIFFERENT SERVICE WHICH USUALLY COSTS MORE.

Are these generally cars that are coming off leases?

When BMW Financial sells, newer ones with 30-40k miles are mostly off lease, older are trade-ins and very low miles are usually business short leases. Pretty much same as any BMW dealership.

Very interested in this. I have been looking for 04-06 either 325 sport/performance or 330, manual transmission, under 100k miles, under $15,000. Alpine white or Red desired. Please let me know if I can attend this or if you could help me. I am about 1 hr from Framingham.

This Friday only Automatics. For 15k you can get something with 65k+ miles...

When it comes to manuals its a bitch to find. I only found 2 manual Audis that I liked when I was shopping for my car....And I was never able to find a decent 6-speed 335i

How much will be for "turn key" service. The goal will be to buy something in good condition to drive it back 3K miles to Cali (just land and pick up the car)

autoart · 05-27-2011, 02:03 AM

Can you tell if the car has a cpo warranty at a aution? and does it continue with the next owner?

dont know what "turn key" service is. My guess would be around $1,000

Some say in notes....i bought my Audi and later found out it had "free maintenance plan" purchased by owner. All warranties go with the car not owners...

rjc03001 · 05-27-2011, 09:07 AM

Yes that is fine. I am serious about this, I've been loooking actively for a car for over a month. How can I get in touch with you?

I bought my e92 6-speed from dealer because I couldn't find 6-speed at the auction. So this is rare.

any car

I wish I saw this earlier. If anyone is looking for a better deal or potentially wants more car for the money than this could help alot. You should have the funds easily available and be willing to possibly tinker with a few little things. You could easily get lucky and not have to do anything. Or just pay the extra money and have the OP look into the car for you. this is an awesome service and could save some money. You should also have a realistic idea of what you want to spend. Just bc its for sale at an auction doesn't mean its a good deal. As someone has said "looks like the auction prices are skyrocketing" there is alot that can affect this game. A craft best left to the professionals. Still tho I wish I knew about this but luckily I found a deal of a lifetime. I had to buy my 08 335xi coupe blk/red 50k manual $25k sight unseen but it was sooo worth it. I could have had to do some work tho and it still would have been worth it to me. Good luck

deven8703 · 06-08-2011, 05:48 PM

I'm pretty interested in this, but I am just a lurker. I live in Medford, just selling my car to a friend, but not in a huge rush to get a new one. I'm looking for a 07-08 335xi gray, silver, blue, or maybe black with black or grey interior.

I can save you the time, and give you a nice 328xi :-)
