BMW 335 price variations

TheBazman

Just noticed the variations on Carzone for ex-demo 335d's and 335i's

The new list price for the 335d is 69,950 (now I'm not naive enough to think that you would not have to spend quite a bit on extras) but there is an ex-demo on Carzone for..........85,995 !!!!! seems very toppy given you will be the second owner

also the following 335i's look fairly similar , except in price (ok the sat nav and the auto gearbox account for half the difference)

Just goes to show you might need a few quid more in your pocket that you think when you go into the dealers

Still, I like the new coupe a lot (but without the wood trim- why, why, why??)

The price of the basic 335d SE Coupé on the road, including delivery is € 71, 700 (BMW Ireland, like all Manufacturers don't quote for delivery). This car has the following equipment :

Montego Blue Metallic Paint
Cream Beige Dakota Leather
Burr Walnut Trim
Front Seat Heating
Professional Navigation
Bluetooth Telephone Preparation
HiFi Professional DSP
Anthracite Headlining

The total RRP for a car with all this factory fitted equipment is € 81, 230 O.T.R. However, this car also has the official Body Kit, so that's another 2 grand, and it has an upgrade on the alloys to 19" which accounts for another 2.5 grand. So that's € 85, 730.

I suppose my point is not that it cant be justified when you begin to break it down, but that it is surprising how quickly 15k of options can build up. I would also have thought that ex-demo would have been good for a 2-3k reduction

With that kind of mileage, between 1-1.5k should be the norm. Higher mileage would dictate a larger discount, but only to a max of 2.5k. BMW are small margin, low discount cars.
