I agree, though mine is on the market at 70k so I’m likely to! :D

When I got mine I looked at some lower milers that were in poor condition or poorly maintained, then saw mine with 65k but absolutely immaculate and well looked after. That alongside a great spec convinced me to go for it and so far no issues and glad I got a high spec example.

The market was dead before Xmas but had three calls in the last week so think it may be picking up!

2013 35is 20k miles - £21k
2010 35is 44k miles - £20k (No Idrive)

Do you guys still think it is a realistic ask for a circa £17k good condition 35is? (well optioned and less than 30k miles)
Thanks!
2013 35is 20k miles - £21k? Yep, any day of the week.

Why? Because 30k miles from now, it'll be an easy sell and give a decent return.

Hold fire and bide your time if you are not happy.

Oh OK, I was thinking of this one, 2013 at £21,450 in Northern Ireland https://www.hollybrooksportscars.com/cars/bmw-z4-2/

I don't recall the 2010 one :oops: If you hang on then you should see some more iS's hit the market in the Spring.

Why hasn't it got one of the classic 35iS features - silver mirrors, then?

When I bought my 35is i wasn't that keen on the silver mirrors and looked at having them sprayed or wrapped! Maybe the owner went ahead?

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

Probably because the owner colour coded them him/herself, a bit like the brake calipers. My calipers aren't yellow, are yours?

No, but then I'm not trying to sell my 35iS. If I were, I wouldn't change one of its identifying features. :)

Wasn't there a guy who used to come on here a few years back who had a yellow 35is, I think he used to track the car and I remember he fitted a quaife diff and uprated the brakes, seems a bit of a coincidence there can't be many yellow 35is about to start with. Anyone remember his name ?

From memory the yellow ones didn’t come with silver mirrors, someone on here had one before with yellow mirrors.

Just checked on Google. You're right. They didn't.
