That's a very nice example, Marlon - but why do they go and ruin it with cream/white trim/seats? I just know I'd be forever worrying about every tiny mark and scuff. Black hides so many sins :lol:

Well presented & looks well kept 35i with a fine spec & reasonable miles (51k)
Cheeky £13k bid could see you into a cracking twinturbo for 3.0i money :wink:

Currently looking for my E85 replacement, what do you guys reckon to this 30i? Seems good value @ £11k, I'm sorely tempted (similar colour scheme to my old one!) but is it worth the trip to the other end of the country?!

So far I can see it's 'only' got manual seats and no parking sensors.......

Looks half decent spec there for a 60k 3.0i at £11k ask , assume you twist their arm to £10k id say you had a decent 89 at very reasonable money :wink: it has heated sport seats & nav which are both desired options , its a great colour combo ( same as the one i had :oops: ) :oops:
Id wager the split rims are shot though so allow either for big money refurb ( £350/£400) or sell & replace

Looks nice, fair spec with sports seats and desirable nav as Andy says, no cruise that it mentions and AFAIK you can't retro fit it but if it's not essential then it doesn't really matter, parking sensors can be added so it looks a good car. If there's no hurry then hanging on for a better spec will bear fruit eventually if that's what you're after.

Thanks for the comments gents, I'm starting to think it ticks enough boxes to warrant a closer look........might just have to check train times.

I noticed that the prices are currently on the rise on the BMW AUC website.

There is a 35i - £17k with over 70,000 miles.

I've noticed prices seem to be steady for the E89 if not rising slightly? I this partly due to the negative press with the dreaded dervs?

Gumtree car: I saw this also, and tried asking a few basic (not price-related) questions about it but was met with a rather 'short' response, so lost interest immediately. Seller not keen to say anything apart from what was on the advert, but someone else may do better than me if they tread very carefully, and it mightn't necessarily be a bad deal if a few more necessary details can be extracted...

Exactly my experience. We emailed back and forth a few times and even got as far as talking about travelling up to see it (was a bit of a trek), but the barebones responses irritated me a little. I reckon it's a genuine car but the seller did a poor job of promoting it.

I ended up giving it a miss, added an extra £1k to her asking price and found a really nice 35i instead :thumbsup:

Woa - £12k for a good 35i sounds excellent. What year / mileage is it, as a matter of interest? Auto or manual?

It's an '09 DCT with 74k. The mileage isn't an issue for me as it's a weekend car (previous E85 did less than 4k in 15 months!). Seems to have all of the toys, and also has the pure white design interior so a nice contrast with the blue exterior.
