No, sorry, I just went straight for the diesel. I'm sure the 335i is also great, but I've been driving BMW diesels for 5 years now, and I suppose I'm hooked, and the latest M57 should be the best of the lot:

Did you get a good trade in? (Or discount?)
I always wonder if I could have haggled harder, but in the end I got close enough to the prices (and trade-in quotes) offered by various online companies, but with the reassurance of dealing with a local BMW dealer rather than a somewhat unknown entity, so for me that was worth paying a little more.
If you can sell your car privately, then as a cash buyer you are always in a stronger postion, but for me that's never easy.

Well, it's a little hard to say because we focused on the cost to change, and ordering a new car meant that the trade-in figure was for estimated mileage in December. I either got a pretty fair trade-in and no discount, or a small discount and a just acceptable trade-in.

I know no discounts are being offered through dealers on the 'new stuff'...

I wonder how many E60.com members have been (or will soon be) seduced by the E92? :-)
I really hope that BMW put this new technology in the "facelift" E60 next March/April - the E60 is such a great car, and it would be a real shame if it didn't get the improved Steptronic and paddle shifts.

Cool - nice spec. I assume it's a Coupe since it has Star spoke 189 wheels? Good choice BTW.
