GOT YA!!!

So today i went to my dealership for a yearly service, they pull out this 2008 Black Sapphire 335XI. Its only got 900 miles on it.

First off, the transmission is miles better than the one on the 328i very very smooth.... almost lexus like.

The engine is just amazing, very very fast, sure footedness of the AWD is amazing.

Standard Xenons ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so, ive been giving it some thought, and im slightly wondering about trading in for it, lets go over some pros and cons

Pros:

TRANSMISSION!!!!!!
Power
AWD
Options(47,350 sticker)
Xenons

Cons

Loaner,950 miles
Expensive (47350 sticker)

So, how much could i get this car for?

How much money would i be losing?

Would you do it?

You can't go wrong with a 335 man. I have a manual trans but the car is awesome all around. Went with AWD because I go up to the Colorado mnts to ski every weekend and the car is just awesome on the snow packed roads.

do it!

I would be a little hesitant to buy a loaner. As long as they give you the full warranty though, you should be ok. Check the tires and struts, make sure everything there is good, because I'm sure once in a while a loaner gets a serious joy ride.

its only got 900 miles so its a fairly new loaner.

Why worry about a few miles? This isn't a bride, it's a car.

take it, but make the dealer lowerthe sticker price, cuz 900 miles is almost all of the break-in period, so u don't know how the heck the car was driven during those miles.

If you don't mind getting $crewed on the trade go ahead and do it.

Love 335Xi. If you decide to go for loaner I would not start my conversation with a sticker ... wholesale price minus $0.20 per mile would be my starting point. Just my $0.02.
