BMW and M Power Owners

The BMW ones are Bosch or Valeo though. BMW don't make wiper blades.

For my car the BMW ones were £50 - I paid £28 from ECP for Bosch ones and this time they are actually perfect.
 
That is bang on market value. If you want it shifted in the next week or so you drop it by a grand, if you want the market value then you have to wait for the right guy who appreciates it's value which is going to take potentially a month or two. Sometimes you get lucky, other times you have to wait and wait and wait.

It's already got "high mileage" so that writes off 75% of consumers, it's a private sale so that wipes off another 50% of that remaining population.

996 took 2 months to shift, XK took a week to shift, both were bang on market value.
 
Well I got £11k for my SE, higher mileage, older, less well equipped 335i Coupe. A year ago.

And I had so many phone calls about it and people wanting to view even at that price.

Yours is well priced paras

Given the runaround by BMW today over my wheels. What a pain in the backside.
I'll have to try again tomorrow and hopefully get through to someone who isn't useless.

That makes my one sound cheap, I have taken quite a hit on it. I think I spent around £26k +/- on it.
 
still looking for a 3 series for myself :( budget would only be around £9kish tbh so hopefully i can get a good buy for that. Looking towards a 325i, around 2007-8 (newer look if possible)

Not fussed between M Sport or SE but i imagine M Sport is the way to go if theres one about?

SE is the way to go unless you absolutely must have an M Sport if your budget is low because less people want one so a £9k SE will likely be newer, better specified and/or lower mileage than a £9k M Sport.

Yea this was my thinking, i assume the engines are the same between msport and se? Whats the key differences? I have read that m sport offer quite a hard ride?
 
9k seems like a nice budget for a 2007-2008 E90 325i from what I've seen.

I can't bring myself to spend that much on a nearly 10 year old design car so I'm looking at higher mileage SE's. I do really like the MV3 alloys you get on the M sport, though.
 
Wheels can be changed cheap though. My last set of MV3's were only £350 and came with Bridgestone RFT's with 6mm all round. Deals like that aren't overly common though.
 
Yeah, SE and change the wheels seems to be the way.

Last night I was trying to figure out the best colour to choose where the chrome door surrounds found on an SE are least noticeable, but Fox advised of this tape you can stick over it:cool:

How much better is the M Sport suspension? Presumably it's firmer. Is it adjustable?
