I'm not sure it's worth it with a car of that value. You will always lose money spent on a car though.

Even when you are down to £8k cars I still think it adds at least £700.

Plus if it is the latest CIC unit it will make the car feel much newer than an 07.

I would pay around the same for an 07 325i with CIC as I would an 09 without, in fact I wouldn't want it without.

Very well said and valid points by two wise guys on this forum. Enough said.

If I was to keep a car just for one year, I would not bother much about it. However if I was to keep it for 2-3 year, then its a different story. Its a matter for finding balance between how much you loose (money wise) vs how much you gain by using it.
