Who ever took the pictures for the third one is a puttz. Why so few interior pics?

Are they good deals? If those are the only 335s in all of Vancouver then the 3rd is the best at 88k miles, the others are all over 100K miles once converted.

I can't tell the packages the 2nd and 3rd (besides sport and rear sensors) have but the first one has it all but Nav. Do you want Nav?

They are all Canadian cars. I am liking the dark grey one the most.

You went the wrong way - the first two are under 50K miles each (km * .62 == mi), and the last is barely over at 53K miles.

IMHO, the first car is over-priced. Yeah, it's a coupe, but still. Guys get in love with their cars, and the owner loves his black beauty. If you need the utility of 4 doors, don't buy it; note you'd also be paying for the owner's CSL (hopefully replica) wheels and blackout grille.

The last one appears to be more heavily optioned: PDC, HK/Logic 7 stereo (not sure on the others) split-folding rear seats, sport package (blue one also has ZSP, I believe). But no Bluetooth (note no Assist button on headliner above mirror).

Are those prices in $CA? Not sure what the exchange rate is.

There are all in CAD and I have been speaking with the coupe ow.er he said everything is included. And the dark grey one the guy said he would go as low as 21000. I offered him 18500 or 19000 at most.

Sorry for the derp on mileage conversation, OP.

It looks like the first one is the best one, in my opinion. You get the rims and every package but Nav. 06-08 E9Xs had 3rd gen iDrive which was meh. 09&up have 4th gen iDrive which makes it worth while if one's budget can support it. As for 2dr or 4dr? Personal choice. If you are worried about wringing the very most performance out it get an M3, jk. The E90 handles better than the E92 because it has B-pillars but E92 is lighter, 20lbs. I don't know about the drag for the preLCI E90 but the LCI E90 has the best drag coefficient of all the non-M3 E9Xs, but M3 if looking for a harder-core sports saloooooon.
