Need advice bad. I'm going crazy trying to decide. 535d Sport 3 months old demo done 3600mls, really loaded with goodies- heavy loaded. Or new in 3 months 535d Sport with not so many goodies zero miles. Both cost the same. Pop quiz-what would you do?

Go for the new 535d so you can break it in yourself.

I'd think about trying to get a discount and go for the one with the goodies (but the break in point is a good one, you never know how the demo model was treated in its first 3600 miles)

Is it in the colors u would have chosen, or live with at least? Do the goodies make a difference as it looks as though u may not have picked them outright on ur list?

My old car was an ex-showroom model in a colour scheme I was never that fussed about and never really got into it.
Buy new and choose your spec!
