New here, 2009 335i worth it?

[shinkirou]

Hi guys, wish all happy 2010!

I currently own a BMW 325i Sedan(E90) and it never gave me any troubles. *touchwood*

Recently, I am considering to purchase a 335i Coupe. I've went to the showroom last night and there was one nice black one but it is a 2009 model with a nice discounted price tag. As I have heard the 2010 models, now I am confused whether to get this demo car or not.

Can someone give me some advice whether it's worth it to get this demo car?

Thanks in advance,
V

I really don't think there is anything new for 2010 of any significance for the 335i. I think if you can get a nice discount for the demo, you should go for it and save yourself some cash.

I think there will be minor styling changes on the headlamps and tail light. I've only heard rumours that there's going to be LEDs on the tail light.

Does the car you looked at have many miles on it?

Welcome to the Werkz. Go with the demo if the price is right and get an extended warranty thrown in while your at it.

It is below 2000 km so I believe it is still pretty okay. The condition is perfect.

After I receive more information about the new 2010 model, I will make a decision. I also think they're about to announce it in a few days time.

I would go for the demo model.

If you want the LED lights in the rear you should just buy aftermarket ones for less then the price increase for the 2010.

From everythign I read, the updates are for teh 2011 model year 3 series. Like Numark said, you can always just get new head/taillights for less than you will save on getting the 2009 at a discount.

As far as I know there really aren't any major changes between the 09's and the 10's. If the price is right and you really want it I'd go for it. The N54B30 is a sweet motor and I know for a fact that it can rocket an E92 coupe down the road effortlessly.
