That, my friend, is a Rustler!
Zambezi auto... I used to travel to that part of Pretoria on the weekends many many years ago for a girl.
Seeing this makes me miss the 335i... if only I could afford out of plan maintenance on these toys!Got my baby back from the shop... all clean, best time for a photo op
I hear you man. The 328i was running out of plan this year so it was time to move on to a new plan ... with a nice new car attached to it

I took my car in for oil change and they billed motorplan +-R3358 for oil service and +-R5600 (cant remember exact) for thermostat so about 9 grand. My car is up next year so i will trade. Ill post the pics of the invoice up just now so you non bmw guys dont think ill pulling youlls leg.
Congrats @TheV, that 435i is pure perfection in every way.

Its not too bad hey bud cause if you think of it once your vehicle is out of motor plan its the same time your vehicle is paid up in full.
A basic service from the deelership is around 6k but you no longer paying your monthly finance so it covers that easy. And if you carry on saving that monthly premium you were paying you will always have money asside for other problems that may encounter.
I would rather pay 6k a year for a service than 6k every single month in finance.
Even 9k is not that bad bud. You would be paying that monthly on a new vehicle instead of once off.
See my post above.
Yeah the costs can get a bit excessive from BMW. My 318ti used to come back with ridiculous charges on the plan.
I took my 530d to a 3rd party after it went out of plan and that was fairly reasonable.
My dad just started servicing his 325ci himself after plan ... and it is now on ~400k km
Thanks man. I'm loving the 435i. I've always wanted to own one of the ?35i models since I read about the introduction of the motor. It is such a treat to drive

I know what you mean @TheV, the ?35i is special but a 435i with sports gear box and bigger display in facelift spec you dont see very often and when you do its like WOW. One day when i have close to a bar to spend on a car
ill get my dream 435i in your spec. Get you car ceramic coated to keep that luster in the colour, i promise its money worth spending on a car like that.

I was really lucky with the spec of this car. It came with almost every option that I could have wanted:I know what you mean @TheV, the ?35i is special but a 435i with sports gear box and bigger display in facelift spec you dont see very often and when you do its like WOW.

Rear folding seats! <- I know this sounds like a joke but I did not have this on my 328i or 530d
M-Sport kit
Harman Kardon sound
Sports transmission (with flappy paddles)
Pro Navigation (ie. bigger widescreen display)
Bluetooth media integration (standard now I know, but again not something I had on my 328i or 530d)
Memory seats
Xenon lights
Seat belt extenders (standard, but none of my previous coupes had this!)
^ for me this is quite a big deal. Buying 2ndhand cars you don't get to configure the "good deal" to your liking
Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely have a look at getting the car coated
Does it have heated seatsI was really lucky with the spec of this car. It came with almost every option that I could have wanted:

My main requirement is heated seats and this is the only reason I have not bought a BMW. Guys looked at me like I was crazy when I requested heated seats.
I don't think it has heated seats. I'll have to check. It is not a feature I'd ever use though. I've had it as an option once before and it really did not sit well with me.Does it have heated seats

You don't know what you are missing.
Well I guess if you drive through the night it would make sense... I would often drive through the night and that 3am Karoo chill gets me...

Yoh.. that is a beast. And a beauty
For out of warranty BMW's, I highly recommend SAV Speed in Edenvale. BM specialist and tuner. My mates take theirs to then, pay way less than at the BMW dealerships. And their work is always done properly.
You are such a BMW fanboi!you definitely made a good choice considering where we started the conversation for a new car.
Thanks buddy, I do think this makes a better daily driver

I wish they made seat coolers too driving in the Sun with leather seats can get very uncomfortable too.
Best seats ever are the seats with the combination of leather and swade .
No need for any heaters or coolers.
