Valencia Orange 35iS - 66 Plate Under 50k Miles

Post by Gwest44 » Tue Jun 21, 2022 6:12 pm

OK so having previously persuaded myself that the Melbourne Red 23i is perfectly suited to my needs I've continued to keep a look out for a 35iS.

True to form on the day the 23i went in for its annual service and MOT a lovely 35iS with the Hyper Orange Package (Valencia Orange body with Jet Black hardtop) caught my eye.

As per the title the car's done less than 50,000 miles and comes with an all inclusive 3 year service plan and 2 year warranty - produced in August 2016 and on a '66' plate I also believe it to be one of the last 35iS's to be produced.

So my question is this - having always bought privately and never gone through a dealer does it sound like the deal they are offering (on the road price of £25,000) represents good value for money.

In addition to the above it's probably worth mentioning the car does have the following options:

S0387 Wind Deflector
S0494 Seat heating driver/passenger
S04FE Interior trim finishers, metal fabric
S0563 Light package
S0609 Navigation system Professional
S0677 HiFi system Professional DSP
S06NS Comfort telephony w/ enhanced Smartphone
S07HY Design Pure Traction

Appreciate it's a big ask with limited information and no photo's but I'm reliably informed by the dealer that the car is immaculate inside and out and any issues picked up on viewing will be resolved - so if you can let me have your thoughts it would be greatly appreciated :thumbsup:

p.s. the photo is of my existing 23i from a run out last week as I never like to post without including an image.

No PDC but that can be fitted it it bugs..

Price wise for its age and mileage and the market it seems in the right ball park. :thumbsup:

I’d look very very carefully at the warranty…the one offered with my 35is was not really with the toilet paper it was written on.. :tumbleweed:
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

£25k for a 16 plate on those miles is a pretty fair price from a dealer, they're not lifting your leg on that at all.

IMO seems like a good deal financially for age and miles. Is it a bmw dealer/warranty?

    I sold my 2014 VO 35is with 50K to Sytners in Chigwell last month and they had it up for sale at £26K. It disappeared from their adverts within a week.

    Sounds like a good deal to me. Hope this helps

    Sounds about right to me - especially when to look at what they were selling for last Autumn.
    WBAC are currently offering to buy in at £22,350 for a late 2016 35is - so I would say its a very reasonable dealer mark up.
    As Argyll Andy asked, is it at a BMW dealership?

    Have you done any history checks?

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

    Thanks for all the responses really appreciate it - agree re the PDC (currently have it on the 23i) and have asked them to email details of the warranty before I view the car in person :thumbsup:

    Those options are the bare minimum I would expect on a 35is for sure. PDC too. But yeah, what everyone else says. Seems reasonable.

    Also might add, that Melbourne red looks beautiful. :thumbsup:
