Bit of a winter project car. Merlot Red. Six speed manual box.
Approx 128000 miles. No paperwork after 90000. Two keys. Engine oil changes have been performed in line with service computer
Leather heated electric seats
Hood not working, pretty sure it's not the pump as it went a bit intermittent for months not making the final latch to the wind screen, so I suspect it's a roof sensor.
I have been told by the forum that it has a factory fitted body kit A couple of small car park dings and some paint bubbling on arches and bonnet corner.
Third brake light cracked.
Rear springs replaced.
If you listen very carefully there sounds like a possible wheel bearing issue but a local garage can't find or confirm this. Cd autochanger has stopped recognising discs. Approx one month left on the mot. You can find pics on the newbie forum.
I have owned the car for about 6 years
Comes with Gaptech box, not currently fitted( thought it was the source of the roof issue)
Recent new wheels (not BMW) and tyres. Set of old 108s (tyres fitted) can be thrown in if you want them.
I have been offered part ex for my new car but I would rather she went to a forum member. Situated a few miles from junction 11a M5

Sounds like it could make a good project for someone at that price. I would add photos yourself though for the sake of a few minutes :poke:

Hmm..
After receiving the images requested late last night (was out all day etc) and pondering for a short while tonight - as much, as I’m keen to get hold of an aero front bumper; plus the rare as hens teeth: Aero side skirts & Aero rear bumper, to boot..
Plus numerous or her extras, not declared as bonuses, by the OP - I’m sadly, out of this..

Anyone else, that’s after the above declared and MORE - please fill your boots..
And, enjoy👍🧐
