Also what is going to happen to fuel price in the future & tax etc...

I took out a loan in Dec with an APR just over 6%, with a bank.

40% retained value after 3 years / 36,000 miles

Depreciation is very slow after 3 years .

Sweet, I bought mine as a 56 reg. Hi Five!

As for the 335is, I guess that is BMW's respone to the new Audi S4? Easy for BMW to tweak the engine and voila, unlike Audi who have swapped the engine completly.
