The M235i might be the king of depreciation. The only ones that are selling are $3-5k under KBB private party values, or MT

GLWS. Hope you don't have to go another year unsold

It wont, I'll probably just dump it. These cars are absolutely abysmal on the secondary market, I will never own another one again. I'll just lease and turn them in from now on.

Interesting point-

Quick math: if you pay 45k for a car and after 3 years its only worth 25k- it translates to $555/month purely in depreciation.

If it had been leased, that money could have been invested instead while making the monthly payments

Leasing is a much better idea on BMW's unless you plan to keep the car forever or plan on adding a lot of mods

Leasing high end cars is just better in general. People that can afford them, can afford to buy/lease new. The secondary market is smaller because the people that want the car have a harder time coming up with the money.

(Coming from someone who buys a ton of cars)

You are going to lose money on a car purchase no matter what you do, the time and the headache to move these middle priced vehicles is just not worth the trouble anymore.

Bump, brand new brakes all around, to go along with fresh oil and filter, cabin air filter, windshield wipers, and brake fluid. Receipts for everything, done at Fields BMW.

Is the car still available? Can you please text me . I was looking at a similar one but I don't think it had that extra warranty. Can you please explain that to me because I am not very familiar with warranty stuff.

I apologize for not seeing your reply. I am new to forums and did not know that I do not get an email notification when there is a reply.

I ended up buying a 2015 m235i 8AT. Ultimately I decided to go with this one because it had all the options/packages I wanted.

Your car is sweet though. Interestingly enough, I saw another car in Hollywood, FL that is exactly like yours, only difference is its VIN ends in 29 instead of 30. I believe it also belonged to someone on this forum.

Your car has a great color combo. Hope it ends up with "one of us"

One month left to extend the warranty on this car with BMW. Car is about to hit 43k and literally needs nothing. Brakes, tires, all filters and wipers are literally brand new from BMW.

Quick question, what do you get with the premium package on a 2014 m235i? Do you have the power folding side mirrors?
