    Which one? F30 2015 335i vs 2017 330i

    Hey guys i'm in the market for a new vehicle. I have found a CPO 2015 Black on Black 335I with M Sports package and 30,500 miles at the BMW dealership and the dealer will only drop the price 500 dollars (in addition to then dropping the advertised price once online).

    The Jeep dealership by my house has a 2017 330i in dark blue on black interior with 16,300 miles.

    I prefer the CPO 335i as it is sportier where as the 330i at the jeep dealership has a less aggressive styling. My wife is pushing the 2017 as the factory warranty will be in tact for a full year longer than the CPO warranty. sadly the BMW dealership is not as willing to negotiate (any tips for haggling with dealers?). When leaving the Jeep dealership today the woman stated she'd work with me on the price.

    Can I get some opinions on the cost of the 335I? What would you guys do? Is 16K in 1 year worse than 30K in 3?

    Go with the 335. I just picked up a CPO 2015 335 xdrive M sport and it is so much more fun to drive and worth the money! Car looks great and sounds good and is very fast. Test drove the 328's and all that... not even close as far a fun and putting a smile on your face.

    also drive a CPO 2015 335xi ( mine with stick and M bling-not sport).

    Pulls stronger than the 328/330 and you've got the inline6 plus turbos.

    I agree with the others. The 335 is more fun to drive.

    Also, did you notice that the 330 you are considering is a SULEV? I was told that the SULEVs can be problematic.

    Yea I think the 330i is not an option. Not is fun. Can someone let me know what you think about the price? Is it a fair / good price for a 2015 CPO 335i with 30,500 miles. They are only giving me 500 off so they are offering it for $32,500.

    I would think its a little on the high side with it being a RWD vehicle. I just picked up mine last week. 2015 335i Xdrive with CPO (Has all packages Drivers assistance, tech, premium, cold weather). Had 32K miles and i got the dealer down to $30,199.00.

    I would say ask for the CPO report they did on the vehicle and see what all they reconditioned/replaced on the vehicle. Like if it has new tires or brakes... things like that, that will add value to your pocket.

    They changed 4 tires mounted and balanced them... changed out 1 rim... front or rear brakes I cannot remember which ones.... I forget what else was done but all in all it was 2900 worth of work... I will try to get the dealer to send over the report as well as the 328i option they are trying to get me in now 🤬 since it’s cheaper...

    You got them down to 30,199? How did you do that? This one is not willing to negotiate. Also what did they have it listed for originally?

    Well it sounds like the car is pretty fresh maintenance wise, so there is some good value there. If you want the fun car I would stay away from the 328/330 (have you driven all of them?) and go with what you know you should the 335.

    As for why they won't come down, you will never know... that is the used car game. I guess I just got lucky.
