At the summit of the picturesque fens
So around £9k?
What’s my 35i worth..?
- Thread starter john-e89
- Start date
I am not the person to ask mate. I shite myself with anything over 20k miles and am scared of the N54.What do you think being honest Pondy..? You won’t upset me, got my big girls pants on…
On the flip side, I would pay good money for a manual N54 if I wasn't such a wuss. It is a stonking engine and I love a manual gearbox.
That’s a fair shout, if that’s its limit modded I’d take it back to standard and save the parts in case I get another E89.
There’s a nice silver DCT 35i which will probably be available next year, so just in case…..
Forged bottom end as standard luv, it’s the ancillaries that might become a problem, turbos, wastegates and fuel pumps…apparently…but after 7 35is’s and this 35i I’ve had zero issue with any of them.
Grow a pair yer big Jessie….
How the service history John?
If it's got a good pile of invoices & some evidence, that might help once you have a buyer 'on the hook'.
As a buyer I tend to shy away from (or super lowball) light history cars without a stack of invoices.

It’s very good actually Mat, clip file full of invoices, just what you’d, rightly, want as a buyer.
Mileage is SO SO important so they say. Cars actually self-destruct at 100000 miles and become valueless. Seriously, if it’s in good order and can be proven to have been looked after it should sell but at 20% lower than one at say 70,000 miles.
Like Pondy I do worry about mileage but yesterday I bought a high miler. A 70000 mile z8. Moonshot mileage in comparison to most of those on sale. High milers are usually kept by the owners and used. I did so because I don’t intend selling it, it was 25% cheaper than the 30-40000 mile club cars and a whopping 40% cheaper than those with 10-20000 miles. And at z8 prices that’s a lot of cash. Moreover, it had 18 BMW stamps, was Approved Used, had all the bits and was in as good condition as all the rest, pretty much. Underneath even better. And a stack of invoices showing the history from day one as it was one owner car - z8 are normally 5-7 owners. I took the punt and went for it. A similar punter might think along the same lines for yours John, knowing it’s been looked after and is cheaper.

Depends on one’s viewpoint. If trying to get extra couple of grand is a ball ache I’d be happy to take a minimum offer just to shift it quick as I wouldn’t like to have lots tyre kickers coming round my house. Of course it on one’s financial situation, how quickly it needs offloading etc.
