    Hi lads / ladies,
    Will need to change the wife's car in the near future - addition to the family.

    Just wondering what your thoughts would be on the sale price of a 2005 BMW 318 coupe (automatic) similar to this but in black not with leather - spec below

    FSH (BMW upto the last service)
    Metallic black
    alcantara suede interior
    NCT 04-2011
    Full M Sport Body Styling
    18" MV II Alloys
    Rear Lip Spoiler
    Radio/CD
    Full Sport Interior
    Air conditioning
    Multi function steering wheel
    Cruise control
    central doorlocks with remote control
    armrest
    outside temperature meter
    Full Service History
    Trip computer
    Rear Parking Sensors
    Front fog lights

    Compared to any equivalent car in its class.

    Audi A4

    Lexus (2006 btw)

    Hell ya can even get an E200 for less.

    All are better cars and are cheaper. BMW owners all think their cars are superior when in fact they aren't. The price should reflect this.

    Why would you want a coupe with an addition to the family on the way?

    He's selling the car, not buying it. He is checking here to see if the price is considering as the asking price is reasonable or OTT.

    where to start,

    of the two in the same class they are both within 1k of the price he is talking about, and they are saloons (3 series saloon will be cheaper than a coupe at least compare like with like)

    the e class then has double the mileage

    the fact you think an is or an a4 is 'better' than a 3 series is your opinion but general consensus and reviews would appear to suggest the converse

    and finally the equivalent bmw cost more new and therefore costs more secondhand, simples

    btw,

    while im a bmw fan, i currently own an audi, and i wouldnt buy a 318 in a fit

    The A4 is a convertible, not a saloon. And I know they are not like for like exactly but that was just a 5 minutes search of carzone that brought them to mind.

    I'd drive an E-Class with triple the milage before a BMW tbf. Even with double the milage its still a better car than a three series.

    I never claimed anything I posted to be anything but my opinion but I concede many would prefer BMW to Audi

    Thats kind of my point. Like to liek BMW - Audi - Lexus - Mercedez I think BMW are the worst of the lot. Obviously BMW do slightly different variations so like for like can only be done on certain models but its them similar models I think proves my point.

    what's that got to do with anything - the 318 Coupe has rear seats, you know..........I've reared 2 x enfants in a combination of: 2 x TT's, 1 x 911, and they currently travel by 968. Not a 4-door in sight.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    @OP

    The link for the coupe is WAY overpriced for a private sale, a dealer may ask for this price but lucky to get.

    I might nominate them for dreamer of the year award.....;)

    IMO that car in the link is only worth 14k.

    Yours is worth 13k as it aint got the leather. Dont forget it is FIVE years old!

    well i disagree here :D the ones id be interested in, bmw wins for me,

    BMW 335i - beats the audi s4 and merc or lexus dont compete

    m3 > rs4 (not much in it), c63 (for definate) isF (according to the reviews)

    i apprecaite that this is a narrow band however :)
