I know I'm overly cautious and cynical when it comes to cars (and most other things TBF), but I can't help thinking there must be something wrong with that.
The MOT history is good, it has reasonable miles and looks OK, so why is a dealer auctioning it and not selling it as a classified ad?
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

That car should see £8-9k+ if there’s nothing wrong with it, if it doesn’t you’ve dodged a bullet not missed a bargain £6.5k is less than trade on that car :thumbsup:

Just a thought, as long as it’s not in the garage for anything you’d be worried about comeback on, but there’s a NON Z4 vehicles sales page on the forum that you could stick the MINI up on. You could also include that you would possibly ox for the right Z4

    G29 M40i Thundernight with Ivory interior, all option packs (here for a while, hopefully :oops:)
    G29 M40i Misano Blue all option packs (Gone 26k of fun)
    E89 35iS, Valencia Orange, Design Pure Traction pack (Gone)
    E89 23i sDrive, Silver (Gone)

    I've been toying with the idea of selling my 3.0l manual as I quite fancy a move into a cayman. It's done just over 88k with full service history. I've owned it for over 4 years now and in that time I've had it serviced every year regardless of mileage. Last service got everything done, plugs etc.

    Things I've done,

    Expansion tank + coolant flush
    Brake fluid change
    Gearbox & diff oil change at last service
    Rocker cover gasket
    New belts
    Disa valve 8xr repair kit
    6 new coil packs
    Bilstein shocks with eibach springs
    Lemforder top mounts
    All new brake discs and pads
    4 new brake calipers
    Braided brake hoses
    New roof motor (motor has been moved into the boot)
    Gaptech roof module
    CDV delete
    OEM wind deflector with boot brackets
    Fitted red electric heated m sport seats
    Zhp gear knob
    Cruise control
    Cup holders
    Poly bushes
    Front wishbones
    4 wheel alignment.
    Tinted windows

    There's probably other stuff that I've forgot about. Really loved having the car and if I had somewhere to keep it I wouldn't even be thinking of selling. It really has been my pride and joy in the time I've had it. Was looking for around 5k

    Have a choice of 2 sets of wheels.

    Is this an obsession, or jealousy that I'm still 'down with the kids'. :wink:
