Out of interest (335i)

There is a 133k mile M Sport for the same price as well.

I wouldnt have a direct injection twin turbo BMW with no warranty though. I suspect neither would most other people, which is why its cheap.

It's probably a fantastic car and I'm sure it'll be in great condition but you buy 100k+ cars with the intion of being the last owner and thats simply too much money to throw away.

I take it extending the official BMW warrenty is going to set you back about £1000 each year?

Say the person who buys it only does 10k a year though and keeps it for 3 years. After that time it is a 6 year old car with only 'average' mileage and would still be worth a fair bit surely?

Any reason why BMW replaced the twin turbo with a single turbo apart from money saving? Is there a hint that the twin turbo isn't going to last? I've also heard you previously say you really want a 2008 335i onwards, was this in part to some sort of iDrive update or something as I thought the facelift only applied to the 2009 onwards coupes?

More than that as its above 60k miles and the coverage is pretty much useless once it hits 100k miles.

In 3 years time based on that it will be 6 years old and have 124,000 miles on it! This is almost double average mileage for a 6 year old car. It will be worth considerably less than an average mileage example.

Efficiency savings with the single turbo engine. Though there are big issues with the High pressure fuel pump on these cars.

There are three useful age points for these.

2007/07: M Sport introduced
2007/57 335i gets Efficient Dynamics. This improves fuel economy and crucially takes it out of the £440 a year tax bracket into the £245 a year tax bracket.
2008/58: E92 gains fantastic current gen hard drive based iDrive.
