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
Split armrest is nice, have it in the 335i. I don't know if it would be something I'd bother retro-fitting if it wasn't there though to be honest.
Hopefully something will pop up sooner rather than later Ciaran!

Mother of christ. I decided to stomach the rough exchange rate and look to purchase in the UK once again, to get the exact car I want. Think the currency is bad, you should see the VRT rates for half decent E92s! Late 8's, early 9's for a 2009 335i and closer 11k for a 2010 335i. FFS!!
Now going to view a 320d and a 325d with the later 3L engine although they're not 100% what I want. In fact, the 2L diesel is 2nd last to the 2L petrol in them stakes. Should've stuck with the E36 all them years ago :D
RE: E92 Search (and engine choices!)
Its a nightmare the selection is gone to the dogs its the petrols that have become more sought after and command a premium now as its in such small numbers
just looking at f10's this morning on pistonheads 680 models in total for sale only 21 of them are petrol

How dare you! ...Nobody's worse than me! :D :D :D :hehe!:
At the moment there's 2 e92s on carzone with petrol engines bigger than 2.5, one is the 2008 325 in M&G for 18,750 - and the other is the silver 335i in Galway which really doesn't look great to be honest.
The silver 08 325i for 17k is long gone.
I would've thought there would be at least a few cars popping up through trade ins by now but doesn't look like it :/
RE: E92 Search (and engine choices!)
The 335i in Galway has a head gasket blown on it. I had it checked before I got mine.
( that's if it's the one with 335 in the reg)

Ah yes, I remember reading that on backroads!
Ha, the lady that bought mine must've got in there before him for the 07-D-335 :p
RE: E92 Search (and engine choices!)
Keep in mind the e92 is quiet poorly built compared to other models.
Had dealings with many of them in the last 2 years and many had to get windscreens seals changed, door frame seals changed etc, very annoying wind and trims noise, very common to have the window bouncing left and right when half opened at motorway speeds too.
Had to do a task on a e92 20d last night after the mileage was dropped down big time by a company here. Cluster was not working right so I fixed it. Car got imported from uk last week and is already on irish reg. So beware people, always check english history too.
And the chap was Irish..just saying in case you decide start blaming Lithuanian, Russian, Polish, French etc...
RE: E92 Search (and engine choices!)
What about picking up an e46 325ci or e39 525i sport and run it for a year and chuck the cash into a savings account you wont lose anything on the e39 or e46 and the e92 will continue to fall in price giving you more options next year
RE: E92 Search (and engine choices!)
I had suggested that alright ;) Makes alot of sense though, but I s'pose if the focus is on a more modern machine, something older probably won't fit the bill.
