335i M Convertible

HEADRAT · 19 Apr 2011 at 19:26

Hi

Right pretty much decided that I want at 335i M Convertible as my next car, it has the right mix of desirablilty/practically that I need, problem is now that I've set my heart on one I can't seem to find one!

Hoping to find something:-

2008
Sat Nav
Leather interior
Black/Grey (not silver or blue).

for around 25K, looked on bmw.co.uk. autotrader and pistonheads but coming up blank, I thought this was a buyers market

Great choice tbh

Whats your question?

HEADRAT · 19 Apr 2011 at 19:30

Where to source one

Morba · 19 Apr 2011 at 19:31

Other than your suggested sites, eBay?

Pick a decent dealer and tell him what you want, 2 weeks later you got one, unless you got the DM curse, then you get driven mad and end up having a **** as a consolation prize.

Cambridge is the worst place in the world to buy a car, unless you walk into a dealer wanting to buy a brand new car the same day they just aren't interested!

A wee bit out of your price range:

Yeah I've seen that one, it's a bit more than I want to spend tbh but the spec is spot on, can't stand the faux wood so it has to be silver or piano black interior trim.

If I was getting up to 30K I'd want DCT.

This is nice:-

but I think that's a bit pricey for a 2007, not bothered about low miles.

£28k for a 2007 3 Series - Hexagon <3

Maybe I'm expecting too much for 25K?

This doesn't look bad:-

Just enough under 60k to get the sub 60k warranty.

Not a very interesting interior combo, and spoiled by the fake wheels.

Dont buy a £20k+ car from somebody who fits fake wheels.

how do you know they fakes eagle eyes

[TW]Fox · 19 Apr 2011 at 21:44

They are CSL replicas - the real deal doesn't fit the 335i (Well, unless you fit 4x fronts but nobody ever does that).

DM · 19 Apr 2011 at 21:48

dont think for a second i was doubting you, i knew youd know
