| I am looking at buying a 2006 330i with the 6-speed auto. The car seems to hold for 2-3 seconds before moving when first put into gear (either forward or reverse) and if you are at a complete stop and release the brakes. It is more pronounced when first put into gear but does seem to do the same thing to a lesser extent when stopped. It has about 3k left under the manufacturer warranty so if it's a problem I should be able to get it fixed. If it's a design characteristic then I have to decide if I can live with it or if I should hold out for the manual I really want. | |

Replying to: blueguydotcom (Feb 16, 2009 10:12 am) A lot depends on where you live. My local dealer(Swope BMW, Louisville) performed an Inspection II and brake fluid flush on my wife's X3 for just $374. Santa Monica BMW charges $1105 for the same work. I know that the cost of living in California is higher than that of Kentucky, but 295% higher? That said I'd say $1000 per year may be a bit high.

I was set to buy an 09 WRX but Saturday I stopped in for a spin in a 335i manual. Well that sold me but the price was more than the wife wanted to pay. Looked online and found in so cal we had a total of 3 335is with manual. One dealer had a model with only sport and navi (no interest in the navi). They ended up selling me the car, cpo, for 27k (not including bmwcca rebate). According to Edmunds that's less than trade-in value. Edmunds claims 33k for that car at a dealer with CPO. Even if it's off, I feel like I got a nice deal. 28k miles on the odometer, silver, not a scratch on the outside (nicks on the driver's door trim aluminum), otherwise pristine. Given my profit on the cooper and my payments on the 335i match the cooper's, I basically paid $500 to switch to a larger, faster, more family friendly car. Hard to argue with that. And the 335i has more included maintenance left, plus a longer warranty and 4 brand new tires (my cooper needed new tires).
