No I was thinking 17 or 18k and I would get the new one for 39 or 40k hence about an extra 22k.
57k miles good spec SE 535 GT, do you think I would get under 18k?

I suspect he just didn't read it right.
I have to entirely agree with your views on the C-Class. It is truly horrible and tacky. Sure, it takes them away from the "old man" segment, but puts it firmly in the 17 year old "Max Power" segment (is Max Power still a thing?).
Other than that, I agree with Fox on the BMW interiors though. I would like to swap my 5 series for something more fun. The M3/M4 is just too much money for that interior, coming from a 5 series. The 340i would get a shout, but, again, that interior just feels like too much of a downgrade.
It is absolutely fine in the 1 series. Best in class I don't doubt. It probably is best, or close to best in class on the 3 series too. But in relation to other BMW models, it just doesn't do the car the justice it deserves.
Personal opinion of course. But it is a big part of the reason I am not currently waiting on a 340i Touring. That said, I'm not waiting on an S4 either, so....

It's almost a £1000 option and has no effect on residuals so I can think of no reason why it would be specified as an additional option on rental 320d's. They are mostly BMW UK registered cars that turn up as approved used later on - if they were being ordered with a leather dash in sufficient volume for you to continually receive them where are they on the AUC site?
Agree completely, I am not a fan of the E Class interior especially compared with the 5 Series. I suspect though that the new E Class, due next year, will be very nice.
Who and where are you renting from? Sixt somewhere in Grtmany?My M4 was double booked and I missed out on it, argh... the F-Type had only been upgraded to earlier the same day, so I missed out on that as a free upgrade... argh.

My experience with Sixt Germany has been quite poor... if you want any decent vehicle, you have to go all the way to Stuttgart or Frankfurt and the standard stock near the Swiss border is quite poor quality / spec.
Got anymore pics, Housey?
