Always weird seeing your old car on Autotrader!

Driven enthusiastically but apart from a tiny scrape on the front bumper I handed it back in immaculate condition, even managed to go a year without curbing any of the alloys!

Looks like a good price for it as well. Hope whoever buys it enjoys it as much as I did.

It was a special offer BMW were running in 2016. It was a grand down then 339 a month for a 335d saloon or 369 for the Touring. M Sport Plus pack and heated seats. 12k miles per year which I went well over.

Unfortunately when I had to order a new car last year they had stopped the deal and didn't have anything nearly as good.

I was hope might have carried it on or done something similar especially the 3 is coming into its last year and BMW are loosing ground to Merc but it wasn't too be.

Still I did get an amazing deal on a 440i GC so can't complain!

Seems like a good price really for what you got. Looking at carwow prices a car with that sort of spec would list at ~£44k. You could then easily get £6.5k off. Go finance and they'll give you an extra £5k. Add your £5.5k you paid and that leaves them at £28k!

You did good

440i GC with M Sport +, adaptive suspension, folding mirrors and digital cockpit. Got £15,600 off.

£4,000 down, then 47x 468 for 20k per year.

It was actually pretty similar to one of TRL's deals but BMW managed to reduce the payments slightly and give me more miles.
