Looking for a 35is?

Post by Zed Five » Thu Aug 11, 2016 9:13 pm

I noticed that there us a sudden glut of nearly new 35is cars on Bmw approved used. Some nice specs and colour combos if you're in the market. Take a look. :)

Still very few manual 35i available. This one has been for sale at least since the Spring, http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... =p&adPos=3. I wonder what's wrong with it :? :|

I only see three.. At nearly 40 grand... I'd rather save that cash for the new model.

Really? I saw about 5 or 6 earlier. No, they certainly weren't cheap, but most had very low miles and its a good time to negotiate if someone wanted one.

New model is still 12 months away I think and I certainly wouldn't buy from the first batch! :?

Is that top value adding in extras like Idrive etc ?

Plus add on PCP finance % being way higher on used.

I've spent silly money on mine, it's paid off, not doing that again. Mortgages have my focus now.

I just specced one up with the standard desired extras, but did not change wheels - that came to 37. Doubt you get the deals now as there are no slots available.

Dealers are struggling with the new set targets so I was told by my dealer, hence it being very easy to buy a new car now with big discounts. The deals on F15 X5s are eye watering with 10s of thousands discounts.

Fully specced 35i manual in mineral grey. Keep swinging either way, keep mine for now then change for a Boxster Etc, or have a last hurrah in an E89, it's a lot to chuck away again though, not sure I can stomach it again.
