For sure I know the differences. BMW are subtle with their badge differentiation. Think how many have some sort of 'M' in the title.
I was just commenting on the relative small price step and not the pros and cons of that exact car.
Surprised with falling E89 used values

It's only a little letter but the "s" make so much difference when you're as sad as me! The over boost on the on the 35is gives about 45 extra bhp which could be had with a re map but not the same as having that little letter on it. I think the "s" stands for"special" and it certainly sounds it!

I was more commenting on the fact you have put 351s which looks very much like 35is, there should be no 's' and a i.

The cheapest 35is on auto trader is also the cheapest one on BMW Approved used at 24,500 for a 2010 on a 10 plate with over 30k on the clock. But again less of these and to compare like for like you'd also need to compare a 35i auto with a 35is
As for why you would go for it, well its auto as standard if your after an auto which usually commands a premium, yes its got a bit more power but it also comes with the adaptive suspension and a different exhaust. Like already pointed out a lot of people like some toys and the 35is's always seem to have been well spec'd so again you would need to compare like with like

I got a 23sdrive back around September 2013. It had a fair bit of extras in it and I paid around 15k for it. Jaguar Main dealer with a years warranty. So not to shocked with the prices - lots of metal out there and a lot of choice and as newer stock comes in the prices are dropping. However I am finding that there seems to be an interest in the sixes that the newer 4 cylinder ones don't get - people want a six.
Getting all the toys aswell seems to make a difference - look at some of the ones out there and they are leggy and poverty spec so need to be cheap to get the interest.

Good to hear your managing to get an ever bigger discount. At this rate I might chop mines in for a new one by the end of the year without really loosing anything given current prices. I do wonder if they are also quoting the 'dealer & bmw contribution' which can be given when taking bmw finance. But hey go for whatever they can give you. It won't last forever, especially now the economy has taken a sharp upwards turn.
Not sure why its surprising prices are falling, the oldest cars are 6 years old now and don't think I could step back from an F Series to an E Series model unless the E89 is replaced which it needs to be as its getting left behind in the model range. I'm also not sure prices are down due to saturation of the market The large contributions that were knocking about when I bought mine in 2012 was simply down to stock not shifting and poor sales. Having said that I was pleasantly surprised when I traded the Zed in for the M135i at 2 years and received 18K for it. It was 23K new after the 8K dealer and BMW contribution.

In my humble opinion if we started talking about falling Z4M prices the market would get hit. Look at 2008 and all the media coverage of the crash. It didn't help and just altered people's perception and was based on nothing tangible.
Just my opinion. We could start a conversation that Prince Charles had a sex change and if enough people talked about it, people would start believing it!!!!
