I was just making the point that going from a 5 to 3 series maybe hard get use too talking from the experience of a friend, i.e. the 5 is far more refined now, if it was a move from the e60 to e90 I agree you looking at not a bigger impact as the interior are very similar and so is the quality, in fact more recommended to go for the 3 series e90 to make the most out of the performance when the space is not needed, but now with the F10 and how it is more like the 7 series a switch to new 3 series may come across as downsizing in quality too add the loss in trading the 5 series, hence the 6 series as an option!

TBH I agree with you, I really wanted a 4 Series before buying the F10 but just couldn't bring myself to like the interior and felt cramped in it! I must have gone to the showroom 10 times to view it and driven one three times, but I couldn't bring myself to buy one despite loving the external look of it. In this scenario OP wanted to downsize, hence my feedback that a 6 just wouldn't cut it.

Thanks all for your passionate replies and discussion!
Alas, my car is still up for sale, and I have lowered the price again to £16950. I can't see myself lowering it any further and if the ad runs out this time, I think I'll just keep her. Seems a shame to let her go when she's been so good, and I refuse to give her away. Anyway, again, thanks. |

Surely if the dealer is after your repeat business they can get their finger out and make you a more reasonable offer? You car looks fab :-)
When I changed from the F31 -> F10 my local dealer who sold me the F31 said even though you have 8SAT + all of the other options, you don't have Sat Nav, so we'll not be able to sell it for a decent price. I pointed out to him that when I bought the F31, he said the lack of nav wouldn't be an issue in the future.... I went elsewhere and got a much better deal :-) I've found that it does seem to depend on the dealership / chain etc.

The manual gearbox on the 5 seems to be viewed so negatively that when you look at BMW Business Partnership lease costs the automatic versions work out £30 per month (x VAT) cheaper. It seems sensible to have a sticking point that you won't go below though - if the car is worth more to you than them, you should keep it

Well, we can close this thread off now I guess. I sold my car last Friday. He actually wanted to use it for a wedding this last Sunday as it seems.
I can't believe I went through with it really. I feel a bit sick in fact, and yet try to think about it in a more logical financial sense. Now I have to find another car!! Thanks for all your posts. |
