Tom,

You must have screwed then at trade-in. Not even breakeven for the Stealer ,having fitted new rubber.

What does that say about the M135i post and pre face lifted model values?

Some good bargains for Ally to chose from then?

BMW HQ will need to get on the case if there are many more M135I coming back in to dealers and sitting not shifting, 

(Buy them back them selves at BMW.)

they can not have them going off to auction or selling cheap and then the Book Prices reflecting their actual prices and not what BMW wish their Values to be.

Almost becoming like Skoda, bargains at hand over and then the residuals really are what people want to pay to buy a used one, 

not what Dealers hope to get selling them.

 

It is becoming a whole new world.

I wouldn't want to be the saleswoman giving a test drive in an M135 to a young thruster! I had a few scary moments when I was selling cars like Nissans, but an M135 in winter would be terrifying if a kid coming from a FWD hot hatch suddenly decided to give it the full Lewis Hamilton.

 

Hey Tom, why not kick them in the privates and see what they say

I think we should all ring them up and make offers around the £18k mark

I dare you. Toms car is great value as it's almost exactly the same as the Face Lift version, at least in the important areas

Bargain but open to negotiation.

If I was in the market for a used M135, I would have it in a heartbeat. Lovely car

Ditto. Tempting, very tempting!

Two proper quick vehicles...(one half the price of a 135)  (homage to orig Mas Max?)

 

 

Off to Oulton on Sunday for the M4 track day, we will see.

Audi single seater should interesting too but RH gear change.

This is an interesting article. I think I agree with the conclusions. Mustang is the one I'd choose if had access to a second car, the M235 if I had only one.

 

What Car Mustang v M235

Looks like Toms has sold.

Has it?! I can still see the ad listed online.

Oh I had a ganders earlier.

Did you contact the dealer? They've got another listed too for 20k with only 5000 miles on the clock. It's a 3-door manual tho. They'll also have two more in March as I know 2 people who are trading theirs in. :-)

Coming away form work about an hour ago in heavy hail and cold roads was an absolute hoot Tom. You must be missing it a little bit

No...I looked at the wrong dealer haha. Did yours have the pro nav? Can't tell from the pictures.

Think this is Tom's old motor.

Yeah I found it this morning. It's very tempting.

Get emailing them, nothing to lose, they will desperate to get rid before exchange stock hits them in March.

£21500, I reckon. Hopefully with acceptable PX

and he knows a man with a Sports Zorst for it that is tailor cut to-length for that vehicle

Haha. I'm looking into it. Problem is my massive neg equity. I also can't work out if Toms has the fancier nav screen.

I have pro nav and the glass screen bit covers pretty mush the whole of the sticky out screen bit of the dash

 

If you find his car on a BMW site it should say if it has Business or Pro Nav.

Think it's just business nav. I really want pro nav but might have to sacrifice!

Ask Tom if he has the Vin as you can then check what options it was specced with
