Hi all,
Considering getting an E92 in the coming months, what options would any of you recommend to try get?
I'd like wide screen sat nav and of course m-sport, does that more or less cover it?
Slim pickings here at the moment, so I doubt I'll be able to be too choosy :D
LCi, Pro Nav, bluetooth and xenons are always a must for me. Logic7 would be the business but im guessing hard to get.
There's sweet f*ck all for sale at the moment...! I can't believe the miserable cars on the market atm. Not just e92s or even BMWs... There's just "nothing" cars for sale, horrid bland diesel eco boxes...! And if there's a nice car it has crazy mileage or pre 08 tax... Ugh!
Really needed to get that off my chest...! :D
Best of luck with the car shopping.
Random thought... I know another person looking for an e92, if we all go together to the same dealer do you think they'll do us an offer for 3 cars :p
I know, very slim pickings!Quote:

I'm hoping something will pop up in the new year...could be wishful thinking :)
Hopefully, yea UK not really an option atm I reckon.. I'm looking for 08+ 335i. 2007SE Irish cars are good value, but I'd have to have a 08+ sport with less than 40k miles. That's a non existent car in Ireland but I'm hoping if one should surface that it would be within the 20k budget.
For me the must have options would be :
Pro Nav
Bluetooth
Automatic
MSport
Xenons are standard on the E92.
Leather
Nice extras include :
Front PDC (rear is standard)
Audio upgrade
HUD
Heated seats
Privacy glass
19" wheels

Mileage too high and looking to convert to devil fuel for awhile :) Miles are starting to increase with work and want to keep the mileage on the e36 low (gets 20mpg as well :)). Actually considering selling it to my brother, least I know it will be looked after.Quote:

I'm in two minds about an auto box, really don't know if I could live with one long term, hence looking for a 330d :)
Theres a lovely red msport black leather e92 330d 40k miles on one of the irish sites O7 or 08 priced well but i cant find it at the moment
Spotted it, its very close to what I'm after. I would like one a year younger to get cheaper tax because I plan on hanging onto it for a couple of years. Also has no Nav :(Quote:

Actually just remembered there was a LE mans blue 325d e90 remapped to 330d power on driver, can't seem to find it now and don't remember the year but think it was an lci so must be new tax bracket, may be of interest :)
Peter, you need to open your eyes:happy::happy:

Lovely car but 10 months for sale now must be gone surely ?
I think up until recently enough he said no one had even viewed the car yet, could be gone since then though!
This is lovely although 2 years older the extra €10k should buy you plenty of tax

You could put 40k on this over 2 yrs and still get 5k back for it id say
I bought an E92 a few months back and even then there wasn't a huge selection. I was looking for a 330d but after a bit of research, bought a 325d. The 325d can very easily be remapped to over the 330d power. With a remap you'll see 275bhp and about 460 ftlbs torque at the flywheel.
Options I would look for:
MSport
Manual
Leather
Sat Nav
Privacy glass
Cheers for the advice lads, ideally I want something with sub 50k miles on it, don't want to have to start digging into replacing suspension parts and consumables (clutch, flywheel etc) straight away :D
Budget will be at the very max 20k but I'd like to get something nice around the 17-18 mark and have a rainy day fund :)
Would like something that hasn't been remapped, and initially I wont be planning one and if I do it will be relatively conservative.
I've few months to pick one up, or even longer so I'll try hold out for a manual 330d e92 msport with Pro Nav, and hopefully bluetooth and a few other goodies. Should keep me going for a few years, although the last few years I haven't been holding onto cars too long :D
