Welcome to the madhouse James.
£4500 should get you any good prefacelift E85 with the M54 engine.
Please be aware that the 2.5 only has a 5-speed gearbox. Ideal for country roads but not so good on motorways.
To give it a local flavour for you: New Forest yes, M27 no!

Thanks. Yeah. Ideally would like the 3l l. What about the 2.5si? Can you get a decent one within my budget? They have 218bhp with a 6 speed box.
I think you should be able to. Therre's also a 3.0si currently for sale on here for £4995.
Selling this on behalf of a friend who is not a forum member.It’s a 2006 3.0SI with 103k miles on the clock. It has the style 108 alloys, brakes in good condition all round. Heated/electric memory m sport seats. Has had a fair bit of work done by myself including; new front shocks, springs, drop links, air filter, wipers, pollen filter, rocker cover gasket, side reflectors from BMW. Will be getting an engine flush, oil and oil filter change shortly. I will also clean out the vanos solenoids and check that they are operating correctly.
It did have some damage to it as shown...
Picky picky
Welcome. There is the leggy yellow 3si at a dealer in soton but has a ripped roof with gaffer tape. It was in for £3999 for ages, but as it didn’t sell they decided to “reduce” the price to £5999.
Realistically you’re probably looking at a 2.5si for your budget. You can get a non si 2.5i N52 and very easily upgrade to si power with the intake and extra disa valve.

Mines not up for sale but might be of interest! I don’t really get to use it anymore so it’s just sat on the drive.

IMHO a 3.0Si is as good as an E85 gets, well apart from the Alpina and M models but their prices are on a different level!
A manual 3.0Si is also pretty rare as less than 700 came to the UK but the bonus of the facelifts is that if you find a Sport model it will have the sought after M-Sport seats, which were a pretty rare option on pre-facelifts (or SE facelifts).
The optional Bi-Xenons are quite an improvement over the standard candles!

Totally agree with the above having had the 2.5se, 2.5si, 3.0se and now the 3.0si. The 3.0si just has noticeably more power. My only ‘gripe’ with it would be that the stock exhaust doesn’t do it justice. A little bit more noise certainly wouldn’t go amiss…
