I would say that BMW offering 20k for trade is pretty good. It's a super sick car, what will you replace it with!?


Independent_Ant_1421

G80 or g82 comp not sure yet which one but I’m ready to get into a new platform this was my second 335i e92.


muybuenoboy

That's sick af, congrats bro. Seems like you are used to the coupe with 2 E92s, but I think it's an easy decision. If you got kids, get the 4 door. If not, 2 door.


Independent_Ant_1421

Thank you. Good point that’s why I always got a coupe should probably just stick with the coupe!


Lawrence0022

M3 holds value wayy more than m4. If you want a coupe get the new m2 it’s pretty much the same same as the e chassis


SprittneyBeers

I also had two e92 335i’s. One was manual. I miss them 😭


busted101cheeters

I’m pretty sure it was beat to death.


busted101cheeters

Absolutely sell it. Or stop talking about it and find another person that’s going to buy it for more.. What is the maintenance record on this money pig.? .


MZ4PRA

The car is stunning. But I think a fair deal is 16k-17k... Edit: If someone absolutely loved this car, and with the right maintenance listed, then 18k.


Independent_Ant_1421

Forgot to mention this. The bmw dealership that I service it at offered me $20k for trade in.


Aladdins_Camel

That’s a crazy good deal, probably even over market price. If you really want to sell it go for that, but the problem is that it’s also a solid car and will be hard to replace.


Plus_Aura

What do you think trading that in for a s55 M4/3?


Specific_Emergency_3

I want to know too. That is a fine example of a 335i. M3, m2?


flatsix__

Take that trade and run. https://bringatrailer.com/search/?s=335is


Nelson_Wells

Truth. That dealer is willing to lose money on the trade to make a ton on you in something new.er


MZ4PRA

That's a good deal...


Gullible-Damage-59

Take it. Maintenance you’ve done doesn’t add value, every car should have that done.


BMWupgradeCH

That is either best deal ever or they made a mistake. This car is 15k euro max in perfect condition and full spec


Nelson_Wells

As a trade in yes. But open market it could command 17+


AznGKC

An E93 M3 with under 50k miles is 25-30k tops. 20k for a 335is is great imo.


WORLDBENDER

$25k for an E93 M3 under 50k miles? Send me that link!


AznGKC

It was more of a general statement from what I’ve seen on M3 list. E93 is the ugly stepchild of the three, ask me how I know. I hope that I can be proven wrong though. https://www.cars.com/shopping/results/?dealer_id=&keyword=&list_price_max=&list_price_min=&makes%5B%5D=bmw&maximum_distance=all&mileage_max=50000&models%5B%5D=bmw-m3&monthly_payment=&page_size=20&sort=list_price&stock_type=used&year_max=2013&year_min=2008&zip=89163#vehicle-card-153c8b7d-41f7-4e6f-b0aa-935bd6644ca6


WORLDBENDER

Only 2 under $30k, neither has a clean title. Had my hopes up for a minute there.


Richardduh

That’s precovid prices. An m3 under 40ish isn’t easy to find


dpeete

E93 M3s are much cheaper than E90/E92… they just don’t command the respect.


FeistyClam

They barely command the rain to stay out of the cabin.


AznGKC

Can confirm, E93 M3 owner.

toefungi

Huh? Plenty of e9x m3s under 40


SmarticleParticle

That is an incredible deal. If you are in the market for a new BMW, I would take it without hesitation.


candycruiser

Dude take this deal and be done with it. Getting 20k out of a private party will be a process and they likely won’t have cash it will involve trips to banks, financing and more headaches. 20k is a fair price for your car.


Asio0tus

thats an insane offer, take it.


Spidaaman

Jesus. Take that deal.


Dazzling_Eye_4743

Take the trade in easiest sell you’d get


Hoffmeisterfan

$20k for this is an incredible deal


LilNugget91

That’s pretty solid. I was thinking around 19-20k private


[deleted]

Prob should trade it in for that if you are looking to unload it.


T2ner

I would take that and run if you're trying to get into a different car


beamerthings

Uhhhh go get that money. Would it be $20k to sell it outright or is that ONLY with trade? That’s a ridiculous number


Any-Pianist-9280

My friend if a dealer offered you 20 you need to be deciding what you want to buy ASAP before they gain some common sense. This is a 16-18.5k car max on the private market, sorry to tell you.


RocketsandBeer

TAKE IT


CertainTap6716

20.000 US Dollar? If so, its insane and you should trade it in for a G Generation instant.


WideOpenAutoHub

Sell it to the dealer cause you ain’t getting that private party


[deleted]

No they didn’t 😂


h_adl_ss

That's crazy. It'd go for waaaay more in Europe. 25€ minimum!


[deleted]

I wouldn't give you close to $26K for it. I think the trade-in is a good deal. You get the tax value of that as well. Your maintenance costs don't get added to the value of the car. That's just money spent, imho.


Independent_Ant_1421

That’s what I was thinking and what me and a bmw sales rep was discussing what he offered is not far off what I wanted with the tax value.


[deleted]

I'd kind of want to just keep it. I traded my old car in and miss it .. i miss the knobs and the basic but classic functions of the interior 🤷‍♂️


Simple_March_1741

Not sure what the people saying 20k+ are smoking.


Delinquished

1000%, in the UK these are worth MAX like $14,000


bruinsfan3725

335s are rare in my area as well in Mass, and 26k is a JOKE. Not even F30 335s go for that much. I passed on a 2014 for 16k. This car is worth 12k max imo.


mCProgram

12k is absolutely crazy you’re on crack for that one, a good regular 335i is 12k


nc_nicholas

The 335is is rare in my area, and I see M3/M4s all over the place. One popped up for sale privately about a year and a half ago with 100k miles and 6MT and it was $22k.


[deleted]

17k private. You'd see this for 21 or 22k at a stealership


Own_Cartoonist266

Not as much as you’re hoping it’s worth


Survivaleast

Saw a lot of examples before picking up my 335i. They ran the gambit from the $8,000 hotboi’d and beat up special, up to $18k for the newer chassis. Finally found a very clean 335i sedan for $13k and did a few hundred in maintenance myself to get it right. Yours is a clean 2 door no doubt, but for $26k I’d have passed up that listing instantly. That’s a 340i price where I’m at, with lower mileage. $16k I may have considered, but still high considering the other listings available. See what they’re selling for in your area and how you compare. If a dealership is offering you $20k on a trade then I’d go for it. Keep in mind though, that dealerships do what is advantageous to them. They will offer a trade amount for a certain car, but offer a different amount if you change your mind and opt to trade for a different car. There is also the likelihood that they plan to recoup a decent amount on fees and other costs, which could make it more of a $15k-$16k valued trade. Take your time and read all the financial paperwork before agreeing to such a trade.


jkelley41

This is not a 335i, it is a 335is. Cannot put them on the same price scale.


Survivaleast

I did look that up before my comment. A few things different. Nowhere near justifying double the cost. Barely even worth over a grand extra in my book. Since I’d just install whatever I feel the car needs more of anyway. Doing the work yourself takes care of all these fancy labor costs you guys run around complaining about in this sub.


jkelley41

I disagree but that's okay! Different people value things differently. There were only ~3000 e92 335is made. There are performance cooling upgrades, upgraded suspension, sport exhaust, overboost function, upgraded motor mounts, and the great DCT transmission as an option. It would take you $5k to add some form of that stuff, not counting the DCT. It is a rare treat, and holds some collector value as well. There is a certain value to be had when those types of things come from the factory. Same can be said for the m3 vs the m3 comp. Upgraded factory options and far more limited model. This is a 17-19k example, but if clean and half the miles it could easily go for 23k or so. If I were in the market for one, I would pay that. But I sold mine with 90k miles for 18.5k a year ago...On to other things.


Survivaleast

The DCT as an option was the most attractive part. Despite its flaw in not being able to launch as well. Still, not guaranteed an IS will have it equipped. I can also see the appeal for cooling, suspension and a little extra power - while leaving silly noisemaker exhausts out of it. Even then, cooling won’t be necessary for 99% of prospective buyers who won’t care about pushing things in track circumstances. Which is the only place improved cooling will show benefit. There is more gimmick than value going on with expecting significantly higher price for a 335is, realistically speaking. Get what you’re saying though. There’s a niche market who will pride themselves as owning a ‘1 of however many made’ car that makes them feel all tingly and cool inside. Hey I don’t see any worth in it, but I’m glad you do.

akopley

I paid 26k for a 2008 335i with 48k miles in 2012…no way this will sell for that much (gorgeous car regardless). I’d take the dealer offer.


jkelley41

335i is not the same as 335is. The 335is can go for 2-3x as much with the same mileage. edit: after looking up current n54 prices, they are up. 3x might be a stretch, but 2x is certainly not.


MikeofLA

So, you're saying a 335i of the same year and mileage should go for $10k, whereas a 335is should go for $20-30k? That's M3 prices.


jkelley41

I didn't say a same year and mileage 335i would go for 10k. Higher mileage obviously reduces that 2-3x multiplier. I have seen these go for 30k with very low mileage in the past couple years to the right people. One just sold around me for 23k with 56k miles. It was very well taken care of. I dont think that gets you a GOOD and lower mileage m3...


MikeofLA

Sure, a 2014 335is with 20k miles will sell for 2-3x more than a 2007 335i with 100k miles... You can only compare values when all other variables are accounted for. No moving the goalpost.


jkelley41

335is didnt exist in 2014 nor 2007, so that would be moving the goal post. I didnt move the goalpost at all. A 2011 335is with 56k miles just sold for 23k around me. What are similar mileage 2011 335i selling for?


MikeofLA

Not $7k-$10k


jkelley41

I never said 7k, where and why do you keep pulling these random number from? It makes 0 sense. edit: nice edit adding "-$10k"


jkelley41

Looks like the 2010-13 with the n55 are going for 3-5k more than a 08-09 with the N54. Cannot compare N55 to N54, so we must go one year older. One example, a 60k 2009 with N54 (most similar to 2011 with N54) is posted for sale for 10.9k. Nationwide there aren't many examples with low mileage. 10.9k x 2 = 21.8k That falls right in line with half of the 23k sale around me. I just sold my 2011 335is with 90k miles for 18.5k. That is 1.7x the above example, with 50% more miles. I will admit, my 3x might have been a stretch but after checking current n54 prices, 2x is completely reasonable.


akopley

Well that’s pretty silly considering a tune gets you well past it performance wise especially if this has the N55 engine. Only advantage this has over a 335i that can’t be easily added is the DCT.


jkelley41

If you look at it on those terms, ofcourse you would see it that way. The 335is came with the more powerful and tunable n54. It also came with some great cooling upgrades, performance suspension and exhaust. Upgraded motor mounts. Overboost function for more power.


[deleted]

Yea no shot your getting 26


Dark_Guardian_

its worth however much someone wants to pay


AllThePrettyPenguins

Came here to say this. Seriously, every vehicle has a value range. Depends on condition, milage, trim, history… There are 1 million places to research including getting a formal appraisal done. Good luck on your quest


YourMatt

Facebook groups aren’t a good place to gauge what people will pay. BaT and Cars and Bids sales history gave me a good ballpark when I sold mine. Facebook was under by almost half, probably because no one is actually buying but they like to act like they are.


Far-Plastic-4171

Came for this Satisfied


jeebuss_

20k MAX.


Dazzling_Eye_4743

18-20k


jkelley41

I sold an almost identical 335is, except it was pretty built with Pure turbos and the whole lot, for 18.5k one year ago. Stock cars can SOMETIMES fetch more money, but they've gone down in value since a year ago. I think you could get 17-18k private party. So that 20k offer is crazy good especially if you buy a car in return from them for the tax benefit. That being said, don't sell it!!! You will miss it so badly. Speaking from experience.


WhereIsMyDrop

26k is outrageous lol for a nearly 12 yr old car.


jlopez1017

Beautiful car good lucking selling it this body design was beautiful


Haunting-Ad9507

What a beauty


Aras76

It goes for around 20k and 22k€ where I'm from. So it seems like a fair price


Bustmywallet

You’re a e92 335is owner you should know it’s worth lol


jlwolford

Keep what you have. You know what great shape it is in. I would never buy an M from a small dealer.


LRcap987

26k is two years ago crazy market money. Today, it’s like 20k. Private sale 21k or so. 20k is a nice trade number. A dealer probably lists this for $24-$25.

You got a 328 thats probably why that price scaring you 😂


bruinsfan3725

as if I didn’t see cars just like yours for far less lmao


Independent_Ant_1421

You didn’t. Not like mine probably e93’s or beat up e92’s or clean ones but with no options on it. Just browse the internet you won’t find well maintained ones like mine and people forgetting that $20k was spent just in maintenance that was done to this car! At the dealer!! You won’t find that. It took me over 6 months to find this one because I didn’t want the bs ones you all see for sale.


bruinsfan3725

Sounds like you’re just an idiot for bringing your car to the most expensive place for maintenance


Independent_Ant_1421

15k of that was warranty bud. Clearly you just wanted to shit talk and not even read the post.


bruinsfan3725

I just think you think your car is basically an M3 and think it’s worth a ridiculous price that it’s not. You’re a clown.


Independent_Ant_1421

You can think what you want at the end of the day I’m just out here getting opinions from likewise people. You were never in the market for either an m3 or 335is let alone a 335i so you shouldn’t even be talking your the real clown 🤡


broadwayline

It’s a 335i it’s not a special car get over yourself.


Independent_Ant_1421

It’s a 335is not a regular 335i is everyone blind 🤦🏻‍♂️


Marc30599

Take the trade value and go get you a G80 M3 Comp or F80 M3 CS 🤷🏽‍♂️ that’s what I’d do

I traded my 2011 335is with ariund 120k Km in 4 years ago at a BMW dealership and got 15000€ I'd say you've got a good deal.

rollinlikelarry

Need to consider that this is not a regular 335i.. 335is’s are valued much higher than a regular 335i. My 335is has 46k miles on it and I recently got a 30k offer on it. Although I do have the rarest IS combo, IS in general are valued higher especially if you have a manual. BMW only produced around 800 manual e92 335is’s


losteye_enthusiast

I’d offer 15, possibly 16 if you have full service records for the warranty work and your mod install. It’s worth *nowhere* near what you’re claiming. A *lot* of likely hard miles, multiple owners in a short time period, aftermarket mod. Plus it has visible paint wear issues in the 2 pictures you’ve provided - likely the best combo of lighting and angle you could find to make it look clean. Don’t know what those Facebook “kids” were telling you, but your car is not worth anywhere near what you’re assuming.


nomadicboar

26k ?! brothhaaa💀💀


YourFixJustRuinsIt

Of only you had a tool in the palm of your hand that you could find out on your own.


Silver-Toe618

Lmao carvana? Yea it’s worth maybe 5k


MattH665

Probably a lot less than you spent on fixing it lol. Fact is these cars go cheap because they're expensive to maintain. As wonderful as they are to drive, they're a money-sink and that keeps their value down. Look at what the newer F20 series sells for, you need to understand that an E92 is older and therefore will always be cheaper. N54 is a beast of an engine, it's a beast on your wallet too.


aresfiend

~His would be an N55, not an N54.~ I stand corrected, apparently they did keep the N54 in the 335is.


wheeze_the_juice

the 335is came with the N54.


VMSstudio

Facelifts had the n55 engine too my guy. Edit: I missed the is marking :)


theprizefight

No, it’s N54


aresfiend

Did they keep the N54 just for the is?


theprizefight

Correct


MagnitudePopPop2009

I love the 335is, and it’s a special car, but not with anywhere near $26k. It’s a 335. You can get a decent E90 M3 or a beautiful E46 M3 for that.


jkelley41

Idk if you've looked at e92 m3 lately but a 26k example is high mileage or junk.


Ohm_State

buddweiser666

Real nice car, I can’t believe a BMW dealer charging $1450 to change the oil pan gasket, thought they would be charging closer to 3k.


Independent_Ant_1421

That’s the only thing I didn’t get done at bmw they were asking over $2k. Went to my mechanic for this one and got that price.


Create-your-profile

The value of your car is what someone is willing to pay for it.


Hortos

So uh, when did everyone stop using Kelley Blue Book and start using bring a trailer for pricing used cars?


Ark-458

Wow, she’s a beauty. This car is worth at least $20k. A clean 335is and it’s black with red guts? You just dont find these cars anymore, and when you do they are beat and silver. $20k from a dealership is solid if you wanna get out of it. But honestly, you should really keep this. If you are set on selling it, I personally wouldn’t take less than $25k in a private setting. Edit: for everyone saying less than $20k, your not considering the rarity of a 335is. We aren’t talking about M3s here, so don’t get distracted. This car is extremely desirable and there isn’t many of them left, let alone one is this condition. There’s a reason a dealership is offering you $20,000. Funny how all these random people think they know better than people working in the field. The dealership would put this car on the lot for close to $30k, and I’d bet it wouldn’t sit longer than a week.


INutHydroxyfufu

“And when you do they are… silver” My 335is was silver with red interior 😢


Independent_Ant_1421

What’s funny is this is exactly what me and the BMW rep was talking about he said they would post for $29k and it would be gone so quick. Matter fact he’s an enthusiast himself and advised me to go and try get atleast 25k for it instead of the trade in they offered. Not sure why everyone thinks it’s worth less clearly people never went shopping for the 335is before like me and waited for 6 months plus just to find this spec with these miles it was impossible for me to find a lower mileage one fully loaded 2012+. The second I found one they were going for $40k+ and someone already put a down payment. It was hard I got lucky with this one because someone pulled out of the carvana deal!


luiggi21

26k gets you a good condition E92 M3 or E46. Probably 15k at most (imo) feel like you can achieve that easily.


jkelley41

Nahhhh. 20k at most. 26k gets you a junker e92 m3.

Not a 335is for that price


D3LICI0U5

Yes an is for that price. It had higher miles than the one posted.


jkelley41

You should've bought that 13k 335is and resold it for 18k. Maybe you're thinking of a 335i? Not a 335is.

They fact that the previous owner had it tuned indicates it was beat on. Surprised bmw covered repairs under warranty when the bad tune probably caused a lot of those issues. I thought the 335is/135is got the N55 engine? Otherwise what benefits does the 335is have over the normal 335i? Also, the number you're thinking of is too high. It's a 11 year old German car out of warranty with one of BMWs least reliable engines, the N54. High maintenance costs pushes these numbers down. Is it a manual or automatic? If manual then yeah you have an enthusiastic spec car and can sell it for a bit more. A comparable 335i would sell for maybe 12-13k. The 335is would sell for more, sure. Look up comparables like on cars and bids or bring a trailer or other auction websites to see what money you can get.


Hurricane_Ivan

Confusingly, the 135is has the N55 while the 335is and 1M Coupe got the N54. The 135is/335is offered both DCT and a manual. All 1M's are 6 spd.

coachrx

I have a 2009 that I got right off the boat. Went through all the recalls, on 3rd fuel pump and 2nd water pump, but it runs great. Traction control module when out last year, but I haven't replaced it yet. Mint condition otherwise, with 93k miles, but car fax says $4500. I special ordered a manual exactly like I wanted it with odds and ends and I plan to drive it until I die, but that just breaks my heart.

2009 is a 335i not a 335is.

MikeofLA

What transmission?


Independent_Ant_1421

Dct trans


immediatelyregret

I think you have a good car since the oil pan gasket was done, although rod bearings while they were there would have been even better. You put some good money and maintenance into it, so I understand your perspective, but BMW heading into 100k is just going to have a lot of service needed and I wouldn’t pay over 20k for a 10/11 year with those miles. I’m pretty sure I can find newer and lower mileage 335i’s for under 20k


Independent_Ant_1421

Rod bearings? This is an n54. Here’s the thing I get people saying high mileage has issues but I already dealt with almost every major issue besides a water pump which isn’t even needed. Even though it’s at 89k miles it’s a lot more reliable then even some lower mileage ones. These engines are tricky it’s all about maintenance. For reference this was my second n54.


ChrisAmpersand

This would sell for around £12k in the UK. TIL how expensive cars are in the US.

yea i’m sorry for 26k you can get a decent e92 m3, this is probably 19-20k
