Just looking.

How much was the fancy paint - £850

I think it was about that - There were so may add ons I lost track

I admit that I coughed up £850 for Tanzanite Blue when I bought the 335 because It was so attractive - The Frozen Grey, Im a little unsure yet and to make matters worse, my existing car is Grey - but shiney grey!

The fancy paint is £1800 option I believe. Could be wrong though.

Stick or twist - stick IMHO

When I hear all of this I’m so glad that I’m really happy with my little e85 2.2. When I drive it I think I’m one of the luckiest people in the world.

[ronk]

I’ve decided I’m going to stick!

As nice as a new one would be, it would be silly to Chuck £38K away for the 3k I do each year. If mine was getting tired or unreliable I would change- but it’s not.

I think the technology stuff In the G29 was the great attraction but I’m sure I can survive without it.

After reading a few things on here I don't think I could make it work!

I’ve emailed the Dealer and formally said thanks but no thanks! I somehow suspect that I will be getting an incentive based email in return.

I just hope mrs k doesn’t think we can now afford Granite kitchen worktops!

Good luck with that!

Maybe if you tell her Granite is usually associated with headstones and memorials?

[Scubaregs]

Choice has just become easier, granite worktops or G29.

Never bothered you until now so you aren't going to miss it at all

I am sure you will get a call at some point - just tell them you are fixed firm and for the mileage you do your not spending £40k or if you were you buy another 3 series M sport

Not much point in paying for performance you won't use, try a 30i and see what you think.

I would try the 30i before considering paying for the 40i. You may be surprised.

I test drove the 20i and after the 35is thought it was underpowered, but then we would wouldn't we. I find the extra horses from the 30i is more than sufficient for the driving I do now.

0-100k in the 35is is 4.8 secs, in the 30i it's 5.4, yes half a second slower but still no slouch. Yes if I had the cash I would get the 40i just for the hell of it but as a poor pensioner the 30i does just fine.

The ride is different to the 35is, so I would have an extended test drive before making any purchase.

Don't go for granite worktops, they are cold. G29's are warm, friendly and much better to look at

I am struggling to process the fact that anyone who is contemplating spending that sort of money on changing a car hasn't already got granite worktops TBH.

I always, always fit granite when I fit a new kitchen. It gives a feeling of class and can make a cheap kitchen look expensive. The coldness is also excellent for making pastry!

I don't have a G29 but do have granite! Priorities....

We all know your heart is made of granite Pondy.
