Just picked this up a couple of hrs ago! It was an hour drive away so I went with my gut feeiling (it was just service) and got it unseen!

Here is the ad.

So I sold a Porsche Boxster (the Box is fast and cool and all, but impractial which I knew going in. But I always wanted one so I bought one. One year and $10000 in repairs later I said enough is enough) and basically ended up with this 05 325i automatic. It´s done 90.000 km and has a nice service history. Was out for $39000 and I ended up paying $27500 which I am quite pleased with

Has an AC leak and a reverse light failure and needs some new rubber, and that´s it. Hence the discount..

Love that straight six sound, nice long revs, 218 hp, those great Dakota leather seats and original carbon details on the boot and front bumper.

What do you guys think?

Hang on, they where selling a 2005 325 with like 60k miles (97k Kilometers) for $37k? Wow that is some ridiculously high pricing. For that money here (NJ) you can get a 335is loaded with like 30-40k miles on it. Holy shit these cars are expensive over there..

Sharp, welcome. Is that U.S. currency? I know where I am going to sell my car...

[sjf430]

Congrats man! Digging the interior color
And that's a fair bit to pay, I thought here Australia paid to much (2.5 x us)

[norsairius]

Congrats! I'm a big fan of the interior leather color. Have fun!

"Pay to Play" or "Bend Over" Tax

yes, people often forget that many other countries have very high taxes on autos, and they are not cheap like they are in the USA. Like that guy from Greece who was doing a complete makeover on his 325, because an M3 there cost over $200k.


Haz, looks like a very clean and well optioned E90, congrats!

[GMe90]

I love America. You could buy that car for $10-12k here.

[haz_norway]

Wow thanks a lot for the warm welcome!

Yes, lux tax is nuts, but - we make good money so it adds up really. And our health care politics are also something to take into consideration, amongst other great things about Norway

Loving the straight six, I sold a Boxster which has a great enigne also - but things thing is soooo smooth

WHat!!!! Man no wonder why the Greeks where rioting. If a M3 is $200k then it is safe to say your politicians need a serious kick to the nuts.

[haz_norway]

An M3 here is about $284000
This 325i was $125000 when new in 2005

[CJ421]

Great looking car - it looks well-maintained. Congratulations and welcome.

[mashimarho]

[haz_norway]

[3s4u2]

[falconey]
