If you still want a 28i then how about this one although they do have a couple of 35is around the same price?

Get the 20i and the remap, car will be fine.

The 6 pot is pretty economical if driven sensibly, I have averaged 35mpg with my 23i over 18 months so am very impressed, not the most powerful but I don't need that where I live

Sytner prices? Seriously?

After 3 weeks of them not shifting it, it will be in one of their 'closed auctions' with a starting price of £7k. It's what they do. I wouldn't go anywhere near Sytner, ever. Just my opinion, of course.

The OP was asking for buying advice. Now it's turned into a version of 'E89 market watch' and no advice whatsoever. :)
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

just bought mine from Syntner and they gave me more for mine than anywhere else by £3k and the one I bought, not available with the spec and the price I paid at any other garage. Yes I had to travel to London but they offered to deliver for £99.

Well thanks for all the advice guys, I've managed to pickup a nice 20i 2016 car with low mileage, very happy.

Yes will do, I'll be scanning the detailing section of the forum too to find a good company to ceramic coat it.
