Hi all

Currently scouring all the usual websites for a decent replacement for my 330D M Sport Touring.
I'm looking for something like the following - always seem to get scuppered on the towbar!

330 or 335D M Sport Touring / 430 or 435D M Sport Gran Coupe
Must haves:
  • <50K on the clock
  • FSH
  • Factory fitted electric towbar
  • Not Alpine White (that's what I have now) or Estoril Blue (not keen)
  • Budget up to around £25K, more for a really good example
DM me if you know of anything similar going.

EDIT: I'm in West Sussex but willing to travel...

TIA

Shame you aren't after a petrol one.
i4 is finally here so my wife's 440i Gran Coupe is about to be put up for sale.

September 2016/66
Sapphire black, black leather
Piano black dash inserts
60K miles though, with full BMW service history
Electric factory towbar, glass sunroof, adaptive suspension, adaptive lights, high beam assist, M Sport Pro pack, pro nav, electric memory seats with lumbar support, anti collision system, lane departure warning, reversing camera and park assist, heated rear seats . . . probably more that I do not recall.
Some of the above may be standard on a 440i but the options list is very long.
We are the second owner, bought in 2019.

It needs a couple of minor smart repairs and wheel refurbs but otherwise a very nice car.
She had a 435d GC for 3 years before. This is just nicer all round and the fuel consumption isn't so bad taking into the price differential.

A lot less than £25K but given your budget I guess you are looking at something newer.

To be fair that sounds pretty decent... as you say was looking for slightly lower mileage but based on experience with the 330D I'm pretty reassured these motors will go well past 100K!

What sort of price are you thinking and whereabouts in the country are you? (PM me if preferred)

I'm currently on the look out for something similar, although looking towards the bottom end of the market at 14/15k The tourings seem to hold there money well.

Your account is not accepting emails.
I am in NW London.
Will be on classifieds next week - getting the wheels fully refurbed and will then put an ad up.
WBAC offer and PX towards the i4 was very low, hence my comment about much lower than 25K.
However, since seeing what these are actually being advertised for, the cheapest being £20K with no spec, I'm probably going to advertise around the £23K mark to begin with. Car must go by mid July as the insurance runs out then.
