Cheers mr Z , i was told by certain others to avoid the silver but i'm glad i took no notice :P i actually think it shows the lines off really well + looks clean even when dirty , , i'm happy with it & after owning 4 grey & 3 black Zs was ready for a change
Have to agree with Mr Wilks, was told to avoid the silver but so glad I ignored them! Though we differ on the two tone colour debate his definitely makes me question my opinion.. :P

Hi everyone! After trundling around in my 330e for 2 years I'm desperate to get back in a Zed, and an E89 35is is the one for me. (E86 3.0 Coupe before, check my post history :)).
The market seems completely bonkers though? Few private cars sitting around 16-17k and then a big gap to overpriced approved useds?

I just want a good colour combination and nav! Where should I set my budget? Not too fussed on age but mileage preferable below 60k as I will put 15k on it a year :? . The 2013 LCi doesn't seem to have added anything to make it worth the premium?

The LCi was hardly different..

Here's the problem, I'm besotted with Valencia Orange - I have a vague recollection of it being part of the LCI 'relaunch' as such? Is it 2013 onwards only colour?

There seems a vast gap in price from early cars (10/11) to only slightly newer cars (13/14) and I can't tell why? The only options I think I need are cruise, iDrive & maybe heated seats (are they standard on 35is?). Sorry for all the questions, just happy to be back in the hunt for a Zed! While the 330e has been an exceptional car over the last 2 years (lease) and saved me bucketloads on petrol, I've decided life is too short and I just need to suck it up and make friends with the Shell station again :(.

Valencia was only available on LCi iirc.. Its a cracking colour,one of the best for the 35is i think.

Nav/ I drive needed to be specced,but i think cruise and heated seats were standard.

Have you seen the melbourne red car on here for sale ?

Nice car at right money..

It is indeed the kind of ballpark I’m aiming for, but the colour combo is not for me I’m afraid.

What’s this I hear about LCI xenons being better?

If it's the same car, and low mileage and well looked after, why pay all that premium? Snap up the cheaper old ones and enjoy. Gives you a budget for fixing anything which goes wrong. I wouldn't worry about extras if you get the 35is, nav or no nav - they're all rubbish compared to Waze and Google maps these days. Buy on condition of the important bits.

It's a 2 seater convertible fun car, it was never meant to compete with the SL.

Buy, drive, fix, put in fuel, repeat :driving:

Cruise wasnt a standard option and not many have it, out of all for sale on AT atm only 1-2 have it.

Theres a melborne red car at a garage in leeds which is lovely but no cruise the retrofit doesnt give the same functionality either. :headbang:
