This is beautiful! - https://www.sytner.co.uk/bmw/car-search ... e-2dr-dct/

but way out of budget, haven't seen this all silver colour scheme before though. Very nice!

The black & white photos do it no favours, though.

that's true! - I'm thinking of going to take a look at this - https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified ... 35i&page=2

Do you think the price is a bit high?

Very mono and safe, lots of better combos sold in the E89.

Plus 21.5k for a 50k 7 year old car... you can pick up 2011 35is for 16-18k, 20k at the dealer. Your in summer now and especially with this weather people will try it on. Worth bearing in mind that injectors are a common fault which can be pricey, missfires on start up are the indication.

Nice car but again as 2010 and a non M sport its not cheap. Lower mileage cars also are more likely to have injector problems so worth bearing in mind while viewing.

Nice car, and a nice spec, but im struggling to see the £11000 worth of extras,

Thanks - haven't really looked at the injector problems, would the fact you mention lower mileage cars being more likely to have injector problems is this due to the fact they are garaged and not driven as much? - Anything that can be checked when viewing/test driving that would point to this potentially being a problem?

Havanah and white extended leather looks amazing op.I have this and the car always gets complimented.18k though that's pricey to give you a rough guide I paid a little over 11 for mine no nav or heated seats and a 6 speed manual but still not 6500 more

As mentioned, they seem to cough&splutter a bit on cold start
