Opinions on this 335 please

I'm thinking about test driving it this weekend. Obviously I'd want a PPI done, but I love the low miles on this car. My concerns are the rashed up M wheels and why 3 owners? One was rather short. Could have been an expanding family, but could be it had issues? What are your thoughts? thanks!

My guess is it actually had only two owners and the "third" listing is a result of re-titling the car after a move to VA. I'm not terribly impressed with the car. It does not have the premium package with means no lumbar support and no Homelink garage door opener control. Also, no leather. You can check the options it has at www.bmwvin.com. Also, it does not have Bluetooth. It's a shame what they did to those wheels. Style 135 wheels are some of the nicest BMW wheels available. It also doesn't have the sport package.

I wonder why Rallye BMW chose not to CPO it rather than wholesale it at auction. Lack of heated seats could be a reason in the NY area, but then I wonder why another BMW dealer didn't buy it at auction and CPO it.

Even though it has fairly low mileage given its age and lack of options the asking price is not impressive. I would be looking for that price to be about $3,000 lower to start.

Yes, it will have to come way down for me to make an offer.

Leather seats are there? Am I missing something?

I hate that it doesn't have the sport package, but I'm coming from a Honda Fit, so this is a huge upgrade for me regardless. I've driven a E92 and those seats did feel great. I guess I'm worried more about mileage and wear and tear.

No leather. That car is a real stripper.

Wow. I didn't know they could come without leather?

They even say on the dealer site that it's got leather. Thanks for the heads up.
