You don't want a 335i. It's very slow.

Hung out with one of our company's drivers. Class act guy; very cool. Team qualified 5th in class, was 1st at one point, but just couldnt outrun the Vipers, so we finished 5th. Still, happy to support the team and got both our drivers autographs.

You don't know whut you're talking about. 4.9s from 0-60 is not fast. It's molasses sloe.

So, sloe, I can't even spell slow right. That's how sloe it is.

So comparing these two cars. Is the second one worth the additional cash with the less miles and considerably more options than the first one. The first one only has the Carbon Package on it. The second one has much much more. Helping someone that is considering these two cars but not sure they want to spend the extra money on the other options.

That's ridiculous..
But considering the '15 has more warranty on it and better resale, the price is good to go in comparison. I'd get the '15, especially if it has more options.

Are they willing to take a bigger hit on depreciation with the more expensive model?

Originally he was deciding if he wanted to get a new one or not. Now he is considering getting used instead and then trading it in in 3-4 years on a new one.

It doesn't seem there is much depreciation in the two based on the prices they are listed at. The fact the one is almost a base model and the newer one is almost fully loaded should help resale.

The thing that makes me hesitant to fully suggest the 2015 is that it was a fleet car for basically all the mileage that is on the car and it was only just recently picked up by this dealership for sale.

One can be driven to pickup the other would need to be shipped but when dealing with a car of this type finding one on a lot locally isn't the easiest.

so little miles.. it's practically new. Wouldn't even be concerned at all about it's past, especially under warranty.

So then the question is would you want all the extra electric gizmos or not? A lot of the tech that comes on the other one seems really cool but I don't know if it would ever get used.

That's a question only the buyer can answer.
