335i Sport

[x5x3]

does anyone know when this is due? - I am not getting much help from my local dealer...

[bennno]

May - September but all denying it on the basis of selling the se model production slots they have to fill

I have a picture if you are referring to the M Sport Coupe.

Available from March and that includes a 2.0 Diesel.

Pictures I have are in pdf format and are of a left hooker 335 and a UK model 4 cylinder car.

the pics are all over www.bm3w.co.uk

march is perhaps the preview, the cars wont be in the UK until May/September time

For march you would have to have ordered in Dec / Jan

Odd as I was offered a 320D car for late March, will speak to the dealer tomorrow as I just emailed him a specification. I certainly won't be waiting until September for a car.

I got offered a 335 sport in April today - guaranteed build slot, which is a bit different to dates you all have.

Interestingly the price premium is £2,250, but when I specced up the car it was £45K....

[bennno]

I thought the same thing so went for a 335i M Sport Saloon.

Its already got a load of spec as a sport & 335 model so I simply added leather and heated seats. I wanted a manual given the performance of the engine not a slushbox.

With some negotiation a large amount of discount was offered which made it £31k

That seems a lot more reasonable than 45k for what youve been offered

Bennno

[x5x3]

you are quite right - £45K is off the website so no discount included...

I am looking for a 5 year 150K miles car so a few pounds extra is no real issue and hence happy to pay for the coupe premium (mostly business miles).

Also has to be auto, for us mere mortal we just cannot tell the difference on the daily commute! The car will never get near a track!

[bennno]

Try broadspeed and follow the links, it puts you on to Inchcape and then Cooper BMW. Its possible to get between £4-£6k off a saloon or estate and about £900 off a coupe.

If you are going to run it for 150k miles then why spend £45k as it will lose at least £35k over the term. Personally I'd buy a used Phaeton for £20k if I was going to drive something in to the ground and wanted comfort.

If you do that mileage, dont drive particularly quickly and want an auto the 335d (which includes auto) will be a better bet.

I am not too worried about the depreciation as most of the miles will be business and therefore I will cover all costs.

Definately couldn't consider a Phaeton for so many reasons...

And the same for a diesel, I might as well keep my 330 for another year or so and see where the second hand prices settle.
