Price seems a little high to me. What do you think?

You can get an M4 for that budget?

At 9 months old?

Probably not, but not far off that age.

They are all 3-4 years old and mostly out of warranty? Hardly a comparable purchase to a 9 month old 440i.

It's pricey due to the high spec, adaptive cruise is very rare

Yeah, I missed out on a Dec 2016 5k miles one with more spec (incl adaptive cruise, which is why I'm looking at the one in the op), that was listed at £27,900. So the difference seems a lot. I'm trying to judge if the one I missed was priced very low or if there's much wiggle room in the op price.

2016 car is a year older which would explain most of the difference.

Well its almost a year newer so another £4k seems fair enough?

I don't know which "company owned" it but it could be a flag that it's been ragged to death for it's not-even-a-year-of-existence? I wouldn't think so tbh, just something to be wary of. Then again, shirley warranty would cover any failures at this point?

^This is how my brain works btw.

less spec, extra 5k miles on the clock doesn't seem worth £4k to me, but it's all subjective.

I might just give up on adaptive cruise. Can get 2018 plates for less than £30k

Perhaps not, but the age is a big factor when they are this new. Thats why its £4k more. It's half the age.

Me too. It's worse if it had been a pool car, but there's no way to tell if it was personal or pool.

Where is the advert? Is it a Yx plate car?

chroniclard · 23 Jul 2018 at 21:32

Great engine, designed to be ragged anyway.

Dis86 · 23 Jul 2018 at 21:53

Can't really see this being a pool car. More like directors' car registered through the company.

Amleto · 23 Jul 2018 at 21:56

advert is on usedcars.bmw.co.uk

reg is YF67

[TW]Fox · 23 Jul 2018 at 22:00

Silver and white leather really don't go.

YF is the prefix for the Doncaster area - which is where BMW UK's distribution centre is. Cars registered by BMW UK will be on YF/YK/etc prefixes .
