Looney mate you're a kindred spirit - reckon you've taken over my hitherto top place as the biggest ditherer on this forum :rofl: the old brigade on here will remember how many times I put my old E85 up for sale then changed my mind - eventually sold it and have been looking for a replacement E89 for over a year - seen several advertised on Tinternet but such a ditherer haven't even got round to viewing one yet :rofl: 300 miles to view ? bugger'all mate - I was encouraged to fly to Scotland from here on the IOW to view a forum member's car - did look good but as top ditherer on here was never on the cards ! No - on reflection compared to me you're an amateur at this game :lol:

Lets just put you and the OP in a room together, few sandwiches, and let you thrash it out?? :D :D

The bonus being, by the time you did, at least the road tax on the car would be free by then...

Yes, it seems to be one of those odd SE models that has been spec’d up to sport spec (suspension, seats, steering wheel). The only significant omission in spec IMO is the lack of bi xenons.
 
Where does it state se :? you have anthracite headlining , Msport mfsw wheel , Msport seats & Msport suspension , , its a sport model not se no matter what it may show as on any search engines . Its also a 2008 car so makes it even better value :D

A lot of coupes were registered incorrectly. My SI SPORT only had SI on the logbook so search engines insurance etc showed it as an SI SE. BMW confirmed it was a SPORT.

I voted not to buy it, only because if you are having such a hard time making up your mind then it isnt the car for you.

you need to take it for a spin to see if it fits you.
 
Behr said:
Apparently now sold?

Looking forward to seeing who bought it - if it was someone on the forum.

I was starting to think I ought to go and look at it - I haven't had a red one yet! :lol:
 
Looney said:
me

Ill bring it to my first 'Virgin' meet

Thank f*ck for that! :rofl:

Glad you finally went for it, and I hope you enjoy it. :thumbsup:

I'm safe from skelters - I voted "buy it".
 
I think i need to stop posting im making a bad reputation for myself.

Sorry guys, the advice has been awesome both positive and negative.

Cant wait to meet up and see some cars, never been part of a car community.
