2011 335i X-Drive or...

[Irnewb]

Hello everyone,

I need your help or opinion! I'm hoping the 4 series will have a diesel for the Unites States within 3-4yrs because I'm highly interested. So as of now I been working with this dealership on a 335i Xdrive 2011. Has every package, heated seats, navi, leather, but does not have M-Sport. I talked them down to $32,000 not including tax and fees and it only has 35k miles. I think that's amazing but I could be wrong. Also the BMW is in mint condition like new with one owner and perfect history.

SOOOO long story short I want to trade this in for the 4 sears diesel when it comes out. Should I get the BMW or for example, a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze or Malibu and trade in later? The 2014 Chevrolet Cruze or Malibu would have navi package only. Which one would have a better trade in value? I'm more excited for the BMW because it has all the packaged so when i go into trade they will see all the packages and value. In addition, the bmw is more fun to drive but is it worth buying over a new 2014 vehicle in the $20-$26k range?

P.S. Please let me know if you need any more information from me.

Hope you can help! Thanks!

Dan

Consider the F30. It will without a doubt have better resale value than the E90.

But as for my options what would be a better choice? Don't have any F30's around here with decent price.

Clearly the 335i which is fully loaded, dirt cheap and a joy to drive. Of course it is worth is over some slightly cheaper (yet crappy) new car..

I'm sorry, you lost me at "Of course it is worth is over some slightly cheaper (yet crappy) new car.." But would the newer crappy car have a better return value than the 335ix? I rather save money in the long run if it's a chunk of cash you know?

Anyone else out their have some views of their own? Thanks for the input so far!

Sorry for another post but I don't see an edit button i can press... the BMW is a CPO (Certified Pre-Owned) still under 1yr manufacturer warranty and extended 2yrs. So it's protected till 2016.

I was considering a 335i Xdrive as I'm in Colorado most of the year but ended up just going with a 335i for performance reasons
