EDIT: Had a fair P/X offer and agreed a deal. Still juggling car responsibilities so will be stuck with the wifes Jeep for a bit while she now has a much more economical 1 series. I have to say I feel really quite gutted. Don't think I'm going to miss a car as much as I'll miss this one...
I may just leave the details and images up on here for a bit so I can revisit and shed a small tear from time to time.
Here are the details:
• 2005
• 6 speed manual
• Metallic Toledo Blue Paintwork, Black Roof and Full Black Leather Interior
• 78,563 miles
• Full Service History (last service April 2013)
• MOT till April 27th 2014
• Taxed till end of August 2013
Interior
• Black leather electric, heated memory sports seats
• Aluminium dash
• Leather multi function steering wheel
• Remote central locking
• Remote roof lowering from key fob
• Wind deflector
• BMW business stereo / speaker system
• Parrot MKi9100 Bluetooth, with iPhone / iPod / USB connection in glove box
• Auto lights
• Driver & passenger cup holders
• Under seat storage / first aid kit
• Two keys
Exterior
• Xenon lights with washers
• Original 103 alloys fully refurbished (professionally sandblasted and recoated) only 5 months ago and new centre caps fitted
• Falken FK452 non-runflats all round, with brand new rear tyres fitted only 4 months ago and fronts only 12 months old
• Stubby (I still have the whip if required!)
Overview
I took a lot of time looking for the right car and this Zed ticked all the boxes at the time (in fact the original owner must have ticked a hell of a lot of boxes on the options list as it is very well specced). I bought the car from a former forum member (which meant I knew it had been well looked after!), who had purchased it directly from Halliwell Jones BMW, Chester for £13,495 in 2010 (receipts available).
I’ve used a local BMW specialist (Beverley Motor Works) for servicing and the previous owner also used a specialist BMW indie (Plough Motors in Durham).The roof motor was replaced in July 2011 and I have recently had all the brake pipes fully replaced.
The car has a full MOT (next one due April 27th 2014) and is taxed up to the end of August 2013. The last service in April 2013 was the oil service and the previous service in January 2012 was the Inspection II. The car is HPI clear, does not have any finance and has not been involved in any insurance claims (I have a full HPI certificate from when we purchased the car in 2012). There are also 2 keys plus all original books, manuals, folders plus receipts.
Points to note
Bodywork: It’s an 8 year old car so it’s not 100% perfect. It is outstanding for its age though with only minor bodywork marks, the most clearly visible being two small marks on the bonnet (and without sounding glib, they really don’t bother me and no-one ever notices them!). Car is currently in use (especially while it’s sunny) so mileage will increase slightly.
Front brake pads. These are currently around 3mm and will need replacing later this year.
The car is on a private plate that will be removed prior to the sale.
