thorns 20 Report post Posted December 6, 2021 So, have pretty much decided for now to jump into a F22 M235i for a play and need some man maths opinions.... Given I have a tendency with my toys to only keep things for less than a year before I have itchy feet and want to try something different, which end of the market should I jump into? I realize no matter what with a car like this i will take a bath, I'm cool with that, just trying to minimize the size of that bath. Do I jump in at the bottom with a higher km import at low $30k, or go for the NZ new with 50-60k on clock worth $40k? Or is it probably a pretty even affair and likely to lose similar amounts on either car? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted December 6, 2021 Seems like the M235is have held the value better than the M135i so I would say it doesn’t matter too much. The cons of the higher mileage one is bigger potential for new parts meaning more $ overall. The cons of the higher priced one is a potentially bigger loss. Either way, the people in the market for a M235i is very slim, even more so than the M135i so its tough either way. Comparatively I think the M135i’s have bottomed out in price already and might even trend upwards in coming years but I may be biased as I own one 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thorns 20 Report post Posted December 6, 2021 The M135i was the original though as I figured could kill two birds with one, replace the wifes golf with it while I still get a sports a car to play with, however she was not interested in it and told I should just buy what I wanted. She also loves the look of the M235i so is actually interested in a car purchase for a change which is a nice bonus over all the other things I buy where she just rolls her eyes lol. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
