E92 335d Coupe... SE or M Sport

[nevetas]

Seen an SE in the right colour, 2nd hand, most of the options including comfort access, but no DAB. £35k

OR

Buy a new M sport fully loaded £44.7k list, but got it down to £42k.

It's going to be used as a daily drive and be eating up allot of miles, so is it worth bothering with the M sport when this would only be a second car anyway?

Any help appreciated as I'm struggling to make my mind up!

M Sport all the way my friend,rides ok and the looks are a lot better!

[nevetas]

Fair enough, I was thinking sparkling graphite with red coral interior.

All the options apart from tv, active steering, active cruise, rear blind, bmw online.

Unless any of them are must haves?

I've also seen a SE but with a BMW body kit, worth a look or avoid like the plague?

Interesting question.

I think the SE with 19" wheels looks brilliant. I saw a black M Sport Coupe on Saturday again with 19" wheels and the car didn't really do anything for me.

M Sport any day mate. Better re-sale too

SE with the 19" wheels. Drove a 335i with these and the ride was fine.

You get the M sport suspension with the SE anyway.

[davidbht]

try drivethedeal.com gave them a try for price then ring for cars at dealers which you choose from

I've got the SE with the 19" and yes I am biased, but I thinks it looks more sporty without all the extra bells and whistles. As another post said, it has sports suspension, so the only difference a bit of body kit. Like you mine's a daily commute - 15k miles since November - not put a foot wrong. Picture on my profile

[squeezebm]

If you go for the SE you'll Always wish you had gone fo the better looking Sport,my friend>But hey it's nice to have the choice of either!

[baz1985]

I would go SE and add a few discreet ACS bits and a set of BBS wheels.

[taffyracer]

I have a simiar dilemma but simply will not spend more than 35k on a diesel, Msport is too new to be justifiable IMO, 42k on a diesel is madness

[nevetas]

Indeed.

I went for the SE, 34.5k.

It has the BMW bodykit, and will look nice with a set off bbs rims. Has most of the toys I wanted to.

Will post some piccies after I collect on Tuesday.

Cheers for the advice guys...

Really happy with it. I've had all sorts of 'super' cars, but for day to day driving, it's a lovely place to be.



I think this as a daily drive, and an aerial atom or something crazy in the garage is an ideal combination!

Managed 42mpg on a steady drive home. Impressive stuff!

[CatherineJ]

That looks really good.



We collected a 330D SE yesterday and are thinking of putting the front aero kit on.

What colour is that?

[NeVeTaS]

Space Grey, with Coral Red Interior. Really nice colour.

[taffyracer]

That does look good and a good price, is that just the sport bumper or the full pack?

[NeVeTaS]

I think it includes the front bumber, and there is also a discreet spoiler on the rear boot lid, and the rear bumper is also differant.



I wasn't sure about it when looking at the BMW pics online, but went I went to view the car really looked good, and the coral red interior really sets it off.
