Does anyone know where i can find a standard spec sheet for this car namely 58/09 plates.
Im off to go look at a couple today and one of three lists a lot of toys and other two don't list any info, so im trying to find out whats standard and whats not.
Anyone got an opinion on them? The cars in question: Car 1 Car 2

MSports come with
Front sports seats, cruise, front cup holders, 17's as standard with optional 18's, white and red although red got discountined was only solid paint with 4 optional colours of le mans blue, black, grey and silver
Options included privacy glass, leather, Bluetooth, sat nav, folding back seats, 18's xenons etc
They did a business edition on the years your looking at that brought nav, leather and 18's for 1k extra
Engines on that year are
318 and 320 petrols are 2.0 with 143 and 170 bhp
318 and 320 dervs are 2.0 with 143 and 184bhp
325i is 215bhp and the 325d is 204bhp
330i and 335i is 263 and 305 while the dervs are 243 and 286
The 6 pots get chrome front grills as standard
Cracking cars I love mine
The ones you posted will be per lci models so the derv might be 163bhp or it may have the newer engines. Easy way to tell is that he newer engines had exhaust that point straight out and not downwards. They are the business editions that were run out before the facelift so have nav and leather and also Bluetooth with the sprt alloys
Personally I would get a standard lci rather than the pre lci sport edition.
The lci's got improved engines, new front end, new rear lights, the wheels also had lower et so they fit the arches better.
The ones posted however are nice cars

Thanks mate.
Well it's the 177bhp model if that helps and from what the guy said is with the edition models you paid just over a grand more than the normal sport and got 3.2ks worth of options.
What it seems to have over a normal msport is:
Xenon, professional nav, full leather with part memory seats, different wheels, Bluetooth and telematics,drive assist, front parking sensors and dual zone climate.
The gray one (which I didn't bother to go see) also had auto lights and wipers (kinda wished the silver one did as it's a nice feature on my dads 5 series), heated seats and multichanger.
Guy is ringing me tomorrow with some figures for the silver one as it was immaculate.
Plans would be black kidney grills and a remap as I'm pretty sure they make 210-220 on a map

So is that silver one not a facelift model? My budget is 12k realistically at the mo. So enough for a map as well.

Hmmm does look a bit fresher, back to the drawing board. Though I doubt I'm going to pick up a normal facelift msport for that budget. Sold me on the black kidney grills though so cheers

Our 58 325 M-sport had different wheels, different body kit, electric sports seats, different steering wheel and gearstick, lower suspension and think that was it. No difference in performance

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I know the performance is the same just trying to work .out the difference between the standard MSport and the 'edition' MSport as the latter comes with a package which gives you numerous options for a one off fee on top of the original purchase price
