That looks very smart indeed. It makes such a difference too when you feel you have been well treated in the sale process. :thumbsup:

It does indeed (the being treated well part), it was quite a moment for them too I think, as they ordered the car brand new from BMW and have enjoyed 62k miles in it over nearly 14 years of ownership. I’m fairly sure they’ll get over it fairly quickly though as they take delivery of a brand new 718 tomorrow :thumbsup:

She’s absolutely delighted, it’s in much better condition than some much newer cars we viewed at twice the price :thumbsup:

Not usually a fan of white cars. But white really suits the e89.

Congrats and a nice touch :)

Seems a rare thing these days.

I remember when I collected my MINI Coopers S in 2003 the dealer had left a bottle of champers in a MINI branded box in the boot which was a surprise.

You don't seem to get those small touches these days.

Tim.
