Hi guys, we are seriously considering buying this vehicle.:=): Already viewed and driven the car and it is like brand new....no stone chips on the bumper, headlights are spotless, interior still has a matt finish like a new car. Original mileage of 39600kms.raise:
Your thoughts?

Does anyone know what differentiates a Special edition from a standard model?

Any advice or input appreciated.

Thanks in advance:thumbs:

Dont know about the "special edition" :flyfun:

Looks like the individual package, love the color. Pm Coisman to check it out for you. Also get the vin and call BMW.

If all checks out, looks like a good buy.:thumbs:

Lots of dough for that model though. It looks like a Sportpack model.

Looks good.

Just dont know what the "special edition" is

Looks like a good deal if you have to have a diesel.

Do the door sills say special edition?

Like these:

Thought the SE was only on the 318's.

Doesn't the special edition come with a nappa Type of finish on the seats?
Looks good!!

Thanks, it has "BMW Special Edition" on the doorsills and seats are semi-leather. Other than that can't notice anything 'special'.:biglol:

BMW says all good.:thumbs:

Mileage is really low for the year model. However, I think it is overpriced. You can probably get a E46 330d/330i Individual for that money, but obviously mileage would be higher.

I know the price is high but I am very meticulous when it comes to cars and regardless of the mileage I'm sure none of the cheaper ones will be anywhere near as clean as this car is. I'm keeping the 330i so don't need another powerful car, just an economical one.

Also price is neg so definitely not paying 130k, maybe around the 105-110 mark. Still high i know.

Go for it , great buy , I can't see pictures but wording makes it sound good , just check it out and I'll say go for it , you won't get a neater car for that money

Looks very nice - little pricey but if condition is as described with that milage then it could be worthwhile, try knock the price down a little.

This is a rare find, The split combo on the furniture, the "Sport package" bumpers, 330d wheels etc.
People get confused (dealers mainly - non BMW) about the different packages offered. Often they will say Individual when its actually a sports pack (bumpers as per this car advertised)
Then the Mpack (Motorsport pack) is also referred to more commonly as "Individual" but again, there are subtle differences between the Mpack vs Individual. Generally, the individual is a Mpack with a special colour scheme and interior combination.

The Special Edition was limited to the 318i and the 320d. Estoril Blue and Diamante were 2 Metallic colour schemes they were offered in.
At 130k the price does seem a tad high but then it has very low mileage and seems to be immaculate. Is the seller willing to negotiate
