BMW and M Power Owners

It isn't even like classic 911 v modern 911 values or anything like that - there is no fundamental difference really, nothing 'old school' and 'nostalgic' about the 1M that isn't present on the 2, etc etc.

Weight? Or are they both fat.
 
How much ocuk currency we putting on this?

Within the next 12 months, I seriously cannot see a low mileage 1M ( 30k miles or less) going for less than 35k. If anything it'll continue to hold or appreciate.
 
Fox has a logical point, the used car market moved in mysterious and irrational ways though so not entirely sure logic will win the day on this one...

Certainly I would pick the M2 over the 1M but as long as enough people prefer the 1M prices will stay high

It's looks / styling is unique. Way more aggressive and appealing (to me). Than the new M2.

Really? Looking at fox's bimmerpost link I'd say the M2 looks more aggressive, lower and wider stance also. I used to really like the 1M but compared to the M2 it's starting to look a bit dated in my view.

Completely agree on this, i've had an order in on one since October but having a few issues with my dealer at the moment.

I called 4 other fairly local dealers and they all had more deposits than they expect to ever get cars :)

The 1M was quite a limited production run wasn't it? I think quite a few were destroyed in accidents early on too if memory serves.

I would take the M2 over the 1M personally but the 1M would be more desirable to a collector I guess.

Is there an idea on what the production numbers are going to be for the M2?

No, but it's not a limited run like the 1M was. It's being manufactured alongside other models in the Leipzig plant. Demand though has been strong and I think you'll be extremely lucky to get an M2 in 2016 if you haven't had a deposit down for a while.

The problem I see is that I can't see why you choose an M2 over an M3/M4 right now since there's zero chance of getting any discount on an M2 and fairly hefty discounts available on the M3/M4, making them almost the same price.

The only "pull" I can think of is exclusivity or those who desperately want a smaller M-car.

Thanks for the response. There is something about the smaller M car that appeals, and watching the reviews tonight it seems to get more smiles to drive than the M3 and M4. I was hoping it would hold its value a little better than the M3 and M4 and make purchasing one new more desirable.

Although I think your right that any slots for this year have already been taken.

Sooo similar!

If they were the same price and one was new and the other 5 years old why would you pick the 1M?

Now you might well prefer the 1M in some respects but why would you pay the same...

Simply because I prefer the look of the 1M.

A cars age doesn't really concern me. If it looks good I'll consider it. It's a simple as that.
 
Just joined the club, needed a oil burner due to doing 40k miles a year so went with a 320D M sport the spec is:

F30 320d M Sport Saloon N47 2.0d
Estoril Blue Metallic
Black Dakota leather
Sport automatic transmission
Seat heating. front
Park Distance Control (PDC). front and rear
Interior comfort package
M Sport Plus package
Media package – Professional Navigation

Cant wait to pick it up next week its a 65 plate with 5000 miles on the clock. 19" wheels and LED headlights too. My first BMW (i have driven plenty just never owned one)
managed to get £1800 off the asking price too :D

Happy as a pig in
 
Where are all the e90 (e91?) 335i touring? :(

I'm looking for options for quick estates between 10 and 15k. Loved my e92 330i (even if it was a bit of a lemon for reliability)

The 335i touring seems a better prospect than the s4 avant and other everything else is either too expensive or FWD.

SO,

Done something probably very silly and bought a V8...

I almost bought a 6 series a few years ago before purchasing a 335i, I must say I'm extremely happy with the purchase so far.

The music from the front end is fantastic, and although the straight pipe exhaust is a little loud for my taste when cold, the loud pedal is becoming very addictive. Although I'm sure it'll cost me the earth to keep running, I'd be very surprised if it cost more than my previous car to run
Pretty much every option ticked, pleasure to be in!

5 points of anyone can guess the location :)
