Another +1 for a se over the sport in this case, think there much nicer. As for cash over warranty, I think I'd go cash, a lot of these expensive horror stories are from people both buying expensive oe from dealer or going to dealer to get stuff fixed, I know that's not always the case but if you have a good mechanical knowledge or have a good Indy I'd prefer that to a safety net of what if's
I dunno..I'd 100% go for an M Sport over an SE, obviously depending on condition etc, spec is usually better. The later 335i's especially have a great spec, all the bits thrown in.
As for the warranty..I'd say a pair of turbos on one of these would be eye wateringly expensive...so I'd really want the warranty.
Another day another fruitless search... :(
I keep coming back to the one in Beshoff's: ( http://www.carzone.ie/used-cars/bmw/3-series/used-2007-bmw-3-series-335i-coupe-dublin-fpa-93414135741647330 ) looks really clean and nice to have the warranty for peace of mind but they really don't come much more basic than that.. Sports interior and suspension are standard, and I imagine aircon can't be an option in this day an age can it? There's nothing else! :p Don't want to invest in a car that'll be 100k+ miles in 2 years time either... I know condition is more important but tell that to a prospective buyer when trying to shift a 100k+ 3 Litre twin turbo paddy spec car privately in a couple of years...
@Don: I never thought I'd say it, but I would genuinely prefer an SE 335i over a sport, only the 335 though! Oh and I'd definitely prefer the warranty too...
Basic ??? That car has a very good spec imo
What am I missing??Quote:

That 335 is perfect, it'd be in budget if I didn't have to VRT it : /Quote:
