Yea looks really lovely, it's in budget with change for mods or maintenance and I can't think of a reason to go for a 3L 325 over a 335 as it's also a 3L, insurance is CHEAP (seriously, get a quote), tax is the same, and with regards to fuel I really can't imagine there's much in it.
The only difference is 88bhp and 130NM torque :D :cool:
RE: E92 Search (and engine choices!)
Lovely car, just not for me lads. I want M Sport and to hell with the reg plate/emissions tax once I stay in budget. I also gotta think about not being stuck with something in another 2 years when I sell up. Unfortunately, that rules me (personally) out of 335i/M3's.
Today, I begin to look at other marques :( sigh sometimes I hate this country.
RE: E92 Search (and engine choices!)
If your after a coupe, would an S-Line A5 TFSi come into budget?
I recently bought an A4 and am really happy with it, its a lovely engine.

Did you put feelers into any dealers? They might keep an eye out with potential trade ins or else give you some contacts in the trade who might help?

Lovely cars, but I'm after NA in a petrol and not forced induction if I can help it this time out. I know very picky eh!

See above :D
Thanks lads, appreciate the help
RE: E92 Search (and engine choices!)
Back in the land of the living and the search continues.. I've missed out on a low mile 325d M Sport with iDrive & 2 year BMW warranty by a couple of days. Been thrawling the usual sites and loads of members have been good enough to text/whatsapp/PM me with links and heads up. Thanks as always lads for that, and do keep em coming :)
While I'm here, question for the E92 lads. The split folding armrest I'm seeing in some cars and not others...is there additional functionality that this points towards like iPod connectivity/dock of sorts, or is it simply a comfort feature with a sliding armrest on the drivers side of the split?

RE: E92 Search (and engine choices!)
In answer to the above, it's a comfort option only, with no knock on or hints to other factory options.
In other depressing news, I'm now considering any E92 with the exception of the 2L petrol model. Hire car gone back and today I started a commute on foot/public transport. Can't see me doing this for long :D
