Drove a loaded and decked out 340i xDrive

1M4 · 06-04-2016, 04:11 PM

It had every M Performance part available. I liked the M Performance power kit and exhaust. It was all wheel drive which was different. Has anyone seen one of these on the street? I don't see the point except to advertise.

Kinda like people paying over 100k for their m3. But hey, its their money. Do what they please

An $88k 340i! As soon as you leave the lot it's dropped 50% in value!

The mid 50k models probably can be bought at 5% off... leaving u in low 50s... which is about as much as you'd want to pay for a car that will be worth 35 in a year...

No arguements...

How he get extra 28k, because fully loaded, 340xi is about 60 on MSRP

HobbyInPA · 06-04-2016, 07:01 PM

Maybe insurance rates, but seems crazy to spend 88k

CrazyWitness · 06-04-2016, 07:08 PM

MB its Canadian $?

Ian1973 · 06-04-2016, 07:18 PM

On a tangent, but why is there no 440?

No way would I spend that on even an M car. I just picked most of the crazy options available, no M performance stuff and only got to 58k.

nicknaz · 06-04-2016, 07:32 PM

you can't get a german car if its about performance per $

Tuning,exhaust,interior carbon fiber dash trim,carbon fiber shifter,carbon fiber surround,rear spoiler,rear diffuser,m performance steering wheel,front spoiler,20inch wheels and tires and some other pieces I probably missed

Somebody will lease it (hopefully and not pay 100k for this sucker after interest etc.) because they feel like they need xDrive for traction/safety etc.

asuh1991 · 06-05-2016, 03:41 PM

a loaded m3 at 88k? yes please.

Canada sucks

I bought a CPO 09' E92 335XI that had a sticker price of $52k (base MSRP in 2009 was $44,100). I picked it up for $32k in 2012 with around 48k miles on it -- so $20k depreciation over four years. Not quite one year as you exaggerate...

Regardless, I too would never buy a 340i or any equivalent competitor new for over 50k. The options for better, lightly used cars at that price point are way more attractive. So is ponying up the extra cash to buy a brand new M, AMG, RS, etc.

You go ahead and trade in that 54k car, a year later... let me know how that goes... especially when one can be bought for 49k new.

A year of depreciation, probably about 10k depending on mileage. Not sure what you're getting at though - I wouldn't buy these types of cars new.

When I sold mine after 4 years of ownership, it had depreciated $13k ($3250/year).
