I want to sell my 335i Convertible.
I fancy a 640d coupe ........ 313bhp standard - remap takes it up towards 390bhp
tax is about £150 a year
30 approx to the gallon realistically

D
Andy G and Scott Robson have both had 640d's and I believe they both rated the car :thumbsup
Another :thumbsup for the 640d, I've got the GC version which it makes it a little more practical.
Looks like I'm going to be moving my 640d on only because I have the chance of a X5M, if of interest to this thread, SE rates apply.

If your looking for a little runaround and the ability to fit a pot plant in the back for a skip run, the Mk1 TT 225 Quattro will be going up for sale soon. Will be prepping the ad in S.Elises over the next couple of days but obviously SE rates will apply (not many Mk1 TT's around with 67k on the clock and a ton of work done on the car since we got it).

It was always a stop gap car after the 335D whilst we did up the house. Not quite there yet with the house yet but Sandra has decided that its about time to get another car.

Test drive arranged for Sunday in an dog friendly estate car that will have the dogs permanently pressed to the rear of the boot with the acceleration :lol:

Dom,

Think this is over your previously stated budget but possibly worth a look:

I would have that in a HEARTBEAT. Fantastic effort with the Cup Kit.

Small matter of budget of course Image

Nice 911 but still a gen 1. Internet says avoid gen 1 due to bore score etc.

40k for an 11 year old car too... younger more modern evora at 40k seems better value imho

I’ll have another 911 one day probably.. hopefully a fruity one like the gt3, but realistically a GTS is a more likely target

You can have piece if mind with a Gen 1 911 if you get a Hartech IMS upgrade.

However I would guess that an older 911 would definitely depreciate a lot less than a 40k Evora.
