Hi,

Just joined as i am looking at a 3.5is Valencia Orange with low miles....
What's putting me off is it only really has Pro Nav and Wind Deflector, Heated seats.
So no Cruise, PDC on rear only, no speaker upgrade no folding mirrors....ect...
Are these deal breakers as car is minted and the right colour
Go for it????

I would.
The other options could be retro-fitted if so desirable
Personally I'm not that bothered with CC, most of my driving is on local country roads, even on the odd M-Way trip I seem to spend half the time knocking it on and off
Each to their own - I know a lot on here like it

Hi and welcome,

It all depends on if your dead set on Valencia Orange as they don’t come up that often.
It is a fantastic colour and if it’s got a black roof then omg😍.
In my opinion a 35is is flagship model and should of been specked with a lot of options, although saying that there is one at a dealer near Gatwick that doesn’t even have heated seats 😱

If it’s more about the toys than the colour then widen your search to at least 1 if not 2 other colour options.

Good luck Stuart

Welcome to the forum. :) Great engine and good colour. Options have never been on my radar with any car. Heated seats and a wind deflector are the only ones that matter, from where I sit. :D Others may not agree. :wink:
