How much is it worth?

What's with the giant ///M badge on the dashboard :confused:

VTR · 3 Mar 2013 at 11:50

No idea

I'm selling my car which I'm only going to get £4750 for and been offered this as a swop, thinking it might be easier to sell.

Are there any aspects of being a car trader you don't need our help with?

Haha

OCUK are the experts on BMWs though and I think it's worth more than my Evo5 and be easier to sell?

318 sport is a contradiction, no? It will definitely be easier to flog than an evo5, that is for sure.

Not really, it's a trim level primarily? Just depends on who ordered it..

You have you ask yourself why the owner is willing to swap a fairly mundane car. If it was priced right then I doubt they'd be worried about swapping as I imagine there is a fairly big market for a 318i.

Of course it's a contradiction. What is sporty about a 318?

Biohazard · 3 Mar 2013 at 14:08

What makes a 'sport' sporty?

Where does the sporty aspect start, and end, with the 3 series range?

Hopefully somewhere which is quicker than a mondeo diesel.

You just answered a question with a question.

Which is where?

I've answered it already; it's entirely subjective and up to whoever ordered it new? It's a trim level, very little else changes.

That's entirely our point.

That's your point? Well, it isn't mine?

/subjectivity for some black trim and stick on badges

VTR · 3 Mar 2013 at 14:36

Well I think it's overpriced slightly at £6500, but then I think it will sell easier and for more than the Evo? But I know there are a lot of BMW owners and fans on here so was looking for some help, does not having leather make a big difference, are the 320 2.2's more sought after, do people not go for this model/spec so much etc.

Even though for expert advice I'd wager many here would point you in the direction of dedicated BMW forums?

[TW]Fox · 3 Mar 2013 at 16:06

Yes. Because one make forums are great for realistic and unbiased opinion.
