[TW] Fox - Talk to meh!

[Kennysevenfold]

Which is why I found it weird to see a Thread with such a Title. Personally I value Foxs opinion on BMW's but I also value the other members who own & have owned the same types of cars, I would Never limit myself to one source. Meh just seemed odd is all.

Don't take the threat title to seriously guys.
Didnt literally mean just for Mr Fox

Lol, so much hostility/hopelessness in this thread.

I really like the 325i and I wouldn't be bothered about Alcantara versus Leather personally as I find either very comfortable. You don't stick to Alcantara either! If there was this car with a light coloured leather interior however, I would definitely go for that as it sets the interior off nicely.

only 5k per year on a car like that with 3 owners? does not sound right to me.

Maybe ask BMW to check the service history for you?

Please Rossk26, shut up.

If he was perma banned why was he allowed back? He is an awful poster and brings nothing what so ever to this forum.

Would a 2003 Lexus is200 se be a step down from a 2007 vectra 1.8?

Maybe the same reasons JanseyB was allowed back after his perma ban...

Anyway less going off topic, more help for the OP eh?

Fox other then this not being an M-Sport is this not close to your dream car?

The prices for the 530d seem to be coming down its not that much more then you paid for the 335i right?

 

[[TW]Fox]

It not being an M Sport is a pretty big deal breaker - plus it has Business Nav too, but otherwise wow, they really are coming down!

You are right, it isn't much more than I paid for the 335i.

No sport auto either, needs that I feel and also I think the trick suspension might actually be a must with run shats. Mine are actually starting to get on my t1ts.

 

[[TW]Fox]

Runflats = dustbin. Problem solved. 18's too, not 19's. 19's on a luxocruiser = no

 

[rossk26]

There's a 530D M Sport on the BMW approved website for £30k. Has all the options you want it seems. How much were these new?

It needs 19's, 18's look lost.

£40-45k in reasonable spec.

 

[Housey]

I paid £33K for mine and I think list was circa £47K

 

[rossk26]

£40-45k in reasonable spec.

Ouch £15k loss in 18-24 months. Great for the 2nd hand market though...

Brother will be after a new company car soon, will try and get him in a 5xxD, I personally dislike the new 3 series looks, but I have a feeling he will want one. The 5 has certainly improved a lot on the E60

Ah ok, I just assumed all F10's had proper nav like the GT as standard.

non M-Sport I could live with but the Nav is a deal breaker. Why not settle for something like this (but with proper nag) now and upgrade to a 535i M-Sport in a couple of years?

You are going to have to wait ages for the 353i M-Sport to drop to low 20's
