Options for a 335d

Recommended Posts

What would be considered "essential" options on a 335d M Sport Touring? My wish list currently consists of:

Individual sun protection glass £270

Velour floor mats £75

Bluetooth telephone preparation with telematics £535

Front/rear Parking distance control £285

Professional navigation system £1,970

USB/audio interface £205

Xenon headlights £430

Front sliding armrest £110

Heated front seats £260

BMW service + maintenance pack - 3 years/36000 miles £940

Dakota leather - Black £995

Which comes to a rather eye watering £6075 worth. Would I be hurting resale too much if I cut the list down to:

Individual sun protection glass £270

Velour floor mats £75

Xenon headlights £430

Heated front seats £260

BMW service + maintenance pack - 3 years/36000 miles £940

..for a total of £1975?

I would think that youve hit the nail on the head with that spec. It is very similar to what I have ordered.

I would say the bare minimums are;

leather

sat nav

xenons

bluetooth

and USB

On a car the price of the 335D, I think these are essential for the residual value.

The other oprions are nice, but will just make it more saleable when you come to move it on, but doesnt add any value.

And I agree with Guy on the service maintance pack. This is just as cheap if you get it serviced yourself at a dealer, and then get a good independant to get any maintenance issue sorted., in fact you ll probably save yourself money doing it this way. 169144-ok.gif

Thanks chaps. That's interesting about the maintenance. I'd assumed that you would be paying more than £300 a year for the servicing and maintenance on one of these.

Guy, would you go for the L7 rather than amping up the standard system?

Yeah, either go for the L7 or stick with the basic system.

At least with the basic system you can get a decent amp and speakers put in with great results for very little outlay if you want.

The Hi-Fi (mid) system starts to complicate things, you get an amp with it and that is about it, the subs are the same as the basic system and not brilliant. You also start to get the pdc and obc routed through the system too rather than seperate, so if you are not happy with it you are stuck.

Personally i would delete the front parking sensors and add the DAB radio, you will notice that alot of the dealers are speccing their cars with DAB and its a nice option.

Your above spec looks spot on , enjoy as i think the 335D has to be one of the best cars on the market at present : )

I suppose £285 is quite a lot. I thought I'd read that the DAB radio had problems holding onto stations though?

Also come to think of it, is the sliding armrest actually worth having? What's the difference between that and the standard armrest?

You need the sliding armrest!

You would be better to fit an aftermarket front parking sensor for £280. wink.gif

we have the slding arm rest in the 330d and it is useful in an Auto.

Are you sure that retro fit front pdc is the same price as factory fit Guy?

Sounds bang on to me (with service pack dropped) but I would add dipping/folding mirrors as well.
