Hi all,

Well the time has now come to put the car up for sale. As it's such a rare beast it's been difficult to price, but seeing as I am in no hurry, I've decided to put it up for £26,995 and see what happens.

The car is as follows;

335i M Sport Touring (6MT)
Space Grey
Dakota Leather in Red Brown
Individual Piano Black Trim
Media Pack Pro
Visibility Pack
Panoramic Sunroof
Individual Audio System
USB Audio
DAB Radio
Auto Dimming and Folding mirrors
Extended Storage
Towbar Fully Electric (Never been used)
12v Power Sockets
Sun Protection Glass
Sliding Front Armrest
Seat Heating Front
Head Restraints Rear and Folding
Windscreen with Grey Shadeband
5 Year service pack
Full front end Paintshield application

It is absolutely immaculate and I really mean immaculate there isn't a mark on it. It was registered in September 2010 (60 Plate) and has done 7150 miles. It's taxed until the end of August and has the balance of it's three year warranty and service pack included, both transferable to the new owner.

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask, I'll be putting the car on Pistonheads and probably Autotrader towards the end of the week.

Thanks all
Ian

I wonder if this might tempt Steve A (though an 'i' not a 'd') - would certainly sway me .

[leetennis]

One fine example

[IanM3]

Thanks gents, she certainly is a beauty, just have to wait and see if someone else feels the same at the price!

I want this car so bad!!!





(Insufficient funds though)

[IanM3]

You can have it in installments, £26,990 now and then £5 in a month!!

Now on Pistonheads.

[Sir_Pigley]

How about £12k now and £5 per month until paid for?

[IanM3]

Nice try!

[Frobius]

Beautiful car mate! V jealous.

GLWTS!

[leetennis]

Sorry if this distract from your selling thread, I will remove if you would rather.
What is the individual audio like in comparison to harmon k?
I nearly pressed the button on for it when I specced mine but couldn't justify the extra pennies!

[zaheer]

Definitely a rare beast! Your interior was one that made me get coral red! Beautiful combo with the piano black trims.

GLWS... You won't need it as the right buyer will come along in no time.

[pickigar]

What sort of mpg do you get in the real world? Might be interested, as my 520d (f10) is not as efficient as I would have liked.

[IanM3]

Thanks all.

Firstly the individual audio is amazing, I had the HK in my M3 and it is a little more bassy but the individual is clearer with more punch in the midrange, sounds fantastic.

From an mpg perspective, I get very late 20's/early 30's but then my runs are mostly dual carriageway. In town that would drop to mid 20's, it's not as fuel hungry as I thought. Although if you push it hard, I'm sure it would drop considerably; however, I've never felt the need to do so!

What are you planning on replacing the 335i with ?

[IanM3]

A holiday home of some sort probably! I was considering another car but I just don't use them enough so they end up sitting on the drive. Pointless expense and seeing as I'll have lost £20k on this car (if I sell it for what it's advertised for) in 18 months, that's a lot of cash to throw away.

[IanM3]

Getting a lot of interest in the car, mostly from dealers, getting the feeling that it's rarer than I thought, with the spec etc.! A couple of them want to come and see it, in no rush to sell, so who knows where we'll end up.......

[rogerxp]

Ian, I'm sorry to hear you're getting a lot of interest, I hoped you'd struggle, be forced to reduce the price, then I'd be daft not to swap from my stupidly impractical car into your sensibly practical car. Damn .

But, you're right, a car of that spec doesn't come around often at all, and even though people will bang on all day about the gearbox, there are many of us out there who will choose nothing but a manual .

Looks like you're onto a winner really .

I like the sound of being Kind Ludd (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite)

Yeah, OK, I had to google it

[IanM3]

I had to google it as well!!

Rog, you always had first refusal and still do!

[creepy coupe]

Yeah, come on Rog, stop Dicking about, you know you want it. It's a beaut

You know, I've made no secret of my desire for this car, it's basically my perfect car (colour, spec, gearbox, engine) so right up my street but with a brand new QQ+2 being collected in about 3 weeks there seems little point in another sensible car in the family. Plus, even at the advertised relative bargain price, would still push me somewhat given the knock I'd no doubt receive on the Zed.
