Does look a belter. Not sure about the Auction process though and it doesn't state when the auction starts/ends yet.
GT Spec said:I viewed and test drove the Romans car (FJ05NDV). The car was stored outside, poorly presented and the EML was on. The salesman didn't seem remotely interested in selling the car which has been on their inventory for over a year. Strange experience.

I test drove it last week of January. Didn't have the EML on at that stage, but yeah, hardly any paperwork. I called every BMW branch, Alpina and the BMW premium servicing line. No record of any services :-/
So crazy, I have the details of the previous owner. But figured it wouldn't be right to reach out.
Yeah similar feeling from them, that they were not that fussed trying to sell.

I reached out to the previous owner. He was a helpful chap and sounded passionate about the car.
I was ready to buy it but the salesman totally turned me off. Got a low mileage Z4MR instead.

If you could potentially do with the money but aren't itching to get rid of the car, would you try and sell now? Or is it better to wait (and if so, how long for?)
Roadster S 3.4 Lux, 126k miles if I remember correctly. Huge box of receipts, I think values have plummeted a bit so may want to hold on for next summer.
I’d say if you can hang on until next year then do that, it’s probably the worst time to be selling a car in years, folk will be waiting to pick up the inevitable bargains that will be coming onto market. Just imo of course.![]()

Wasn’t this one advertised on the forum a while ago Alan..? Sorely tempted tbh, some important work done on it and you can tell a lot by how an ad is written imo
