Doh!

The gold Brembo calipers give it away that it's indeed a 6spd manual

...and it's overpriced. We just sold a 04 M6 coupe with 7000Kms for $35999.

^ It helps that there are so many recalls with that car.

Some how, Nissans don't hold their value as a Toyota or a Honda.

They depriciate exactly like it's competitors --> Look at the 330Ci.

And as far as "alot" of recalls, they only really had one --> Brake switch recall. The 2003s had
a few "upgrade campains" where faulty parts were replaced free of charge. Also I heard of some
clients coming back for premature brake wear on the Brembos --> which I bet had to do with
their driving style.

I drive alot of cars at work, but I must say the G35 Coupe is a badass tourer --> especially the
new and improved 2005 with it's insane power upgrade and improved smooth 6 speed short throw.

Will do! But M6 05s just came out so you're gonna have to wait a year

i don't think an '04 330ci depreciates 28%, at retail, in a year, with below average clicks.

LOL, sure it does, more so than the G.

Go to BWM.ca, build a 05 330Ci coupe with comparable options like the G35 --> so pretty
much fully loaded minus navigation. Then go to autotrader.ca and see what they go for.
Unfortunately the higher the cost of a vehicle, the harder the hit in the first year --> unless you
are looking at a Ferrari.

Good luck.

JAKOB

PS. Make sure you add all frieght, pdi, air, gas and new car taxes on that BMW before making
a comparison.
