325i 2009 or 2010?

[gerenti]

dear all sifu's, this is my first time to own a bmw.. after a very long time of survey, i've decided to end up with E90 but i just wanna ask your opinion on this; wether to opt the 2009 or 2010 325i? which one is a better deal?i just viewed both car last two days ago and testdriven both of them.. n physically both are in a very good condition (in my eyes la).as for the mileage, the 2009 model is still around 34k.. n the 2010 is about 36k.the price i got after some nego, the 2009 model can get as low as RM168k n the 2010 model, the owner just can give me the lowest about RM215k..FYI, both i nego with the owner directly.so, my question is, which one do you think is a better deal? is there a big difference between both model in term of spec or else as i just concern that the difference between both is just the paddle shift design? huhu can anybody guide or help me on this matter? thnx alot for your sharing

usually newer is better..but in this case, take the 09, if you are getting 45k savings. you also save on your insurance premium

Both also LCI model, take the 09 like bro Ryou suggested...

Go for 09 as the price gap big .

Dun forget to check if got full service record. The '09 is a very sweet price ...

I'm looking at one too; E90 325i Msports LCI. year made 08, registered 09.
1 owner, 51k mil. Full svc records with AB. Negotiated price $157k. Worth it?

rayncc ... most of the BMW's are about half the price by the time you hit 5th year. It's about there.

From my observations, it appears that despite being cheaper when new, 320d actually holds it's resale value better than 325i.
