Hi Guys,

My company car has now gone, I decided to opt out of the scheme and take the cash allowance instead.
I am not having much luck with the Autotrader ads and find myself still searching for a 335d Xdrive.

Maybe because my needs are not just any 335d.

My budget is tempting for the right car as I am willing to spend up to £35k.

So... here's my spec (not asking for much!)
Must be a 2015 onwards LCI facelift
White or black exterior colour
Red or black interior
Full OEM m performance body kit
OEM 405 or 404m alloys (20")
Pro sat nav
Adaptive suspension
Icon Adaptive lights
Folding door mirrors
Heated seats
Blue msport brakes
Harmon Kardon
Heads up display
Electric memory drivers seat
Heated steering if possible
Active cruise would be great but I accept it's rare as rhs
Must be low on the miles with FBMWSH
Not too many prev owners
Service pack would be a nice to have

I know I'm not asking for much but there must one out there that meets my requirements.

Please contact me if you have the above car and are looking at selling. I have no car to sell and ready to buy. I am willing to travel to you.

Thank you.

I can see why its taking you a while!

At £35k you could do a deal on a new one at 40-odd and probably get exactly what you want? You might need to if you 'must have' all that spec and limited colour choice

Are the wheels and body kit a must have? If you can leave those for later, there are AUCs with specs and prices in your ballpark.

Unless you are paying cash, I'd look at a new car as dobbo9 suggested. And if not hung up on a 3er, take a look at a 435d GC which has many of your options standard.

I have already looked at this option. Problem is the cost of adding the OEM body kit and alloys. On pre reg ones its the options, there is always one or the other missing from my list.. The adaptive suspension is also rare which surprised me.
I have seen some loaded 14 plates out there but I prefer the facelift.

I did get some good news today. Going to view one on Monday which is an ex BMW demo. It has everything except the active cruise but it does have marino leather and the new 404's.

Fingers crossed

Ps I don't want to pay the new road tax rules on a brand new one.

Yes the kit and wheels are a must have bud. Adding them later won't be the same as I would like them spec'd from new.

I am paying cash, strong believer of, if you dont have the cash dont make the dash. Did consider the GC, but the kit is even rarer on those. Anyhow I like the looks of the F30 more. The thing I've learnt over the years is stick to the plan, deviate and you will never be complacent.

I will find my ideal F30, just need to continually remind myself .... be patient.
