Brand new 35Is for £32k

[Zed_Steve]

I agree that the one listed is not for me and I would want a bit of spec. Actually I want a used one because I dont want to keep it for too long but I just can't bring my self to pay £25k for a used car when a new one is only a few thousand more. A 3 year old car should be around 40% cheaper then new plus a little bit for the optional extras, so around £20k for a used Si sound about right to me.

I would expect an example with high spec to retain its value percentage wise much better than one with very few options, because for many it makes more appeal and would be more desirable on resale. So call it 45% of its original list price of in excess of 50k comes to at least 23k then add a couple of grand the extra desirability and it comes to around 25k which looks about right.

IMO not a great colour and no 19" wheels ... doesn't do it for me even if I did pay only 6K less for a 3 year old one with 28 on the clock.

A 35is without 326m's is sacrilidge in my books

I agree Matt, I don't think E89"s look good with any other wheel....ok not a great choice as they bloody crack, but were talking about looks here

ohh do you guys have cracking wheel issues also? I had the same on my 335i.

Stark, did you sell your car? if not I may be interested.

Not yet Norm.....two people before you I'm afraid....waiting to get paid for a project and then I'll decide

It can be an issue on any of the 19 inch wheels on any of the BMW range, however most reports have been made on the E9X's but that's because the 3 series is a very popular model.
