What BMW would you get next?

The_Bear_Yid · 09-21-2011, 05:01 PM

Just 'browsing' on the AUC site and keep changing my mind about what I'd get next. Gone from looking at cars that are Auto and Diesel to 335i Petrol. Started off looking at E92s, now E93s.

So I just wondered what you guys would get next? Or anything you'd avoid?

Vaheed1 · 09-21-2011, 05:25 PM

Probably an M3 coupe.

- Paul - · 09-21-2011, 05:26 PM

M5

The_Bear_Yid · 09-21-2011, 05:44 PM

Either of those would be pretty good. Would only have the 5 if my family commitments increased

JJD · 09-21-2011, 05:47 PM

M3, 6, 5 in that order

briers · 09-21-2011, 05:51 PM

Would love an M6

ZURICH · 09-21-2011, 05:56 PM

The new F 30 335d if they produce one. the new engine specs are awesome, so much of everything

theriz · 09-21-2011, 06:22 PM

either the new M3 or maybe, just maybe the LCI M5.

SelSol · 09-22-2011, 03:48 AM

Easy, 635D When they come down in price a bit.

Next time around I fancy something different a big soft roader, higher driving position.

Not to everyone's taste, but I like em!

Falmouthboy · 09-22-2011, 07:07 AM

I would say one of the last of the old 6 Series - lots of car for the money.

The new 6 is great looking but soooooo big!

zltm089 · 09-22-2011, 07:29 AM

e92 M3 or the new M5...If my lottery numbers come up...

rogerxp · 09-22-2011, 07:51 AM

New X3 for the missus. Not sure for me to be honest, saw a 750i this morning making mince-meat out of everything in its path, got me thinking about wafting for a change

.

M3-FAST · 09-22-2011, 08:18 AM

Would love to say my next car will be the new M5 but with spiralling insurance costs and the VERY poor residuals means my monthlies would double to get into a new M5.

I just couldn't justify spending more than my mortgage on a car!

Like Creepy, I do like the X6 in a bizaar way but have had my mate at BMW price me up a very well spec'd 535D - monthlies about £50 higher than the M3 currently, but he is confident that there will be better deals around in the new year which is when I will be needing to place an order, bringing it down to the same price as the M3.

Here is the spec.....

BMW 535d M Sport Saloon

in Azurite Black

with the following options:

Run-flat tyres
Sport automatic transmission
Alarm system (Thatcham 1)
Reversing Assist camera
Floor mats, velour
First Aid Kit & Triangle
Rear-view mirror, auto dimming
Smokers package
Seat heating, front
Ambient lighting
Headlight wash
Park Distance Control (PDC), front and rear
Air conditioning, automatic with extended features
Internet
Loudspeaker system - BMW Professional
Rear seat entertainment - BMW Professional
USB audio interface
Telephone USB audio interface
Mobile application preparation
M rear spoiler
Sun protection glass

Visibility package
High-beam Assistant
Adaptive Headlights
Xenon headlights

M Sport Package
Headlining, Anthracite
Silk Grey Merino lthr - BMW Individual
M Steering Wheel
M aerodynamic bodystyling
19" M Double-spoke style 351M alloy wheels
Exterior trim, High-gloss Shadowline
M Sport suspension
Sport seats, front
Piano Black - BMW Ind.
Azurite Black

Media package - BMW Professional
Navigation system-BMW Professional Multimedia
BMW Assist
Voice Control
BMW Assist online portal
Bluetooth phone prep + telematics

I also quite like the Audi A7 Sportback as well - might try a 3.0D Quattro on a test drive and see how it compares to the F10

rogerxp · 09-22-2011, 08:41 AM

Could you not tick another couple of boxes Paul

.

Thinking about it, I'll likely find myself back in another manual 335i coupe at some point next year (after the summer

).

My business partner has just had a well spec'd 520D M-sport which was spec'd to his liking as a factory order and that took about 8 weeks, so not too bad really.

There is some deposit contribution at the moment and a little movement on discount. My mate reckons the contributions will increase dramatically next year as well as more movement on discount levels as sales start to level out and the demand for the 'new model' drops.
