Plus a set of AC Schnitzer springs and you have the wallowness ironed out in the faster corners.

I have a 318d (2015 F31 touring so same shape as a 335 etc), My commute is 3 miles stop start though town and over the last year I have averaged 35mpg.
I’ve been looking at 335d Tourings a lot recently and I’m not sure I agree with that statement!

Plenty on 18s with no nav(or basic nav) or xenons at that price but ones with the options you want are a bit dearer in my experience.
My wish list is pretty much the same as yours, my 1er was a launch model so has (almost literally) ALL the options so I can’t really spend money on a new car with less spec can I!?
If you want the big brakes you need to look for one on 19s. It will have the M Sport plus kit which has xenons, blue brakes, HK speakers, tinted windows and big wheels.
ProNav is a must in a car at that price- nice big display and you can split the screen to have album art or trip computer or whatever on one side with nav (or whatever else) on the other side.
Adaptive lights are absolutely brilliant but the normal xenons are more than good enough unless you spend a lot of time on country roads.
I’m not hugely convinced by the adaptive chassis, I tend to leave it in comfort but it may be better on the 3 series. Wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me though.
I’d also really want an interior that wasn’t black. I had to concede this point on the wish list when I bought the 125, black is fine but a lighter colour or the red is much classier in my opinion.
Have you thought about a 435d Gran Coupe? There seems to be a far greater choice of them compared to Tourers and they have pro nav/ xenons/ heated seats as standard.
You sure you’re not thinking of the 3 series GT?douglasgdmw wrote: ↑Thu Mar 01, 2018 2:25 pmDont go Grand Coupe, longer wheelbase and they drive like a barge. Did a back to back drive on GT / 3 series and difference was like going from Elise to SLK.
Think they are based upon the 5 series chassis compared to the 3.
