135i convertible

A friend of mine bought a 135i coupe about a month ago, I think it was an 09 plate with about 20K.  I have seen it, heard it and talked for ages about it.  It is one seriously nice vehicle and I think the convertible will be even nicer. My friend who has previously driven Porsches, Nobles and recently a Nissan 370Z was absolutely thrilled with it.

I think you will be smitten with the performance but just make sure you pay the right price as the petrols are dropping a bit so make sure you look at it with your head as well as your heart.

Cheers

It's a difficult one.  It sounds nice and there is no doubt it was the wrong side of £40K new with a good spec like that but remember a huge chunk of that was Vat which is now gone.  Buying a car in the first year or two will always carry a bit of a premium simply because it is desirable, I usually work on a car being worth approx 60% of new price after 2 years so I think you will lose a few K in the next year but it will balance out if you keep it a while.  If you really love it do your homework on pricing and then get the best deal you possibly can. If you are even slightly uncomfortable with the deal, walk away because with cars, there will usually be another one round the corner tomorrow.

Good luck, let us know how the test drive goes

I have thought about it a lot... not sure I'd like to pay that much with this horrible weather....

I've thought of that... but the new Z4 has an electronic park brake  Not good for a car that wants to call itself "sports"

Thank you for this
