Help me decide

Post by trippingdonk » Wed Jun 12, 2013 11:29 am

Hello, I am planning to buy a z4. I am confused between the two options below. Both are approved used cars from BMW.

Model 1:
sdrive 23i
Nov 10 Registration
6000 miles on it
jet black
red kansas leather seats
Comfort Package - Cruise control, Elec folding + dimming mirrors, Wind deflector, Extended storage, Extended Lighting
PDC - Park distance control


Model 2:
sdrive 23i
Mar 11 Registration
18000 miles on it
black sapphire
Ivory White package - white nappa leather, wood trim, sports seats
19" Alloy
Elec folding mirrors
PDC
Heat Seats
Bluetooth hands free
Service included for 5 years.


Both are of similar price. Not sure, which is better
- Cruise control + 6000 miles
or
- Heat seats + service + 19" alloy + blue tooth etc

I like the service part in the second car but not really sure how useful that is and what is covered in it.

Your comments will be highly appreciated.

PS: this is my first nice car!

There's loads out there so if you don't get the exact one you want keep your cash in your pocket :thumbsup:

Thank you ...
Yes, I am also inclined towards the second one.

There is a third one in the mix but I havent received the full specs yet.

Model 3:
sDrive 23i M Sport
Sept 10 Registration
10000 miles on it
black sapphire
black kansas leather
19" Alloy
Elec folding mirrors
Heat Seats
Loudspeaker system.

Any benefits of M-Sports?

All three are in the similar price range. Probably I should go with the dealer who gives me the biggest discount.

Also, are the 19inch wheel prone to cracking?

There has been major problems with one design of 19" alloy think its 296 of the top of my head other designs have been ok
Have a play with search function and i'm sure you'll find the answer to your questions or someone will be along with greater knowledge than me :)

Thanks a lot guys ...

How much should I expect to pay for Model 2?

Your estimates will give me ideas about the value of the car not just the sticker price?

I am always amazed at how helpful internet is!
