Should I buy this car?

RagingKileak · 05-09-2010, 01:26 PM

Thoughts guys?

I don't think the price is bad, whilst the spec is perfect for me.

Yes.

Check its had no accident damage etc and it looks like a good car.

Yeah sorry, I didn't mention all that stuff as I'm not that far down the road yet, but assuming it's as good as it looks and checks out etc!

Decent spec. eh Matt, must be one of the first ones out too.

Ask him for a pic. of the drivers side right hand seat bolster or check it out if you go to see the car.

Lovely colour.....go for it!

RagingKileak · 05-09-2010, 01:49 PM

Aye will do.

It's a long way to go. As I'm sure you all know, if I drive down there, I will have the Switch card warmed up beforehand lol!!

Spec is fine - my view on these is that a BMW without Nav/Bluetooth is out of the running. EDC and DAB I definately wanted as I can't add them later, whilst stereo upgrades were desirable but I can correct with the Alpine kit or similar.

You all know my thoughts on colour lol... This isn't exactly exciting, but it's pleasantly understated.

Look rather nice! Go and have a look - The price is right though.

All m3's come with Nav and bluetooth mate!!

I think the Le-Mans blue is a little lairy. It looks great. Hope it all turns out well for you!

Just corrected your statement for ya

dxb335d · 05-09-2010, 02:13 PM

M3's are not born with bluetooth?

How wank.

Yahoo · 05-09-2010, 02:21 PM

Looks spot on - do the necessary checks and you should be good to go. I think the colour really suits the car, go for it!

ed335d · 05-09-2010, 02:47 PM

What would I do in your situation? I think you know

The question isn't quite the same as mod a 335d vs buy an M3 though mate... Coz the 135i is the dogs danglies and modded, could be 95% of what the M3 is but perhaps in some ways quicker, better mpg etc!

Who am I kidding. Course I'm gonna buy it lol - all being well!!

Matt

dxb335d · 05-09-2010, 03:00 PM

M3 is an M3.

Just get it!

95% isn't 100%

Just do it

pjs · 05-09-2010, 03:13 PM

2 Blue M3's on the drive, nice. Spec and price look good.

Oli · 05-09-2010, 03:13 PM

The wheels just work so well on that colour. Still unsure on whether to paint my performance alloys black when they turn up???

RagingKileak · 05-09-2010, 03:18 PM

Indeed, it is not!

Ed, perhaps you need to take me for a ride

I would more. Imagine how all the other lads at the YMCA would feel when I rock up with that big sexy bastard driving me in his M3!
