E89 Market watch

North West Surrey
I generally like silver, it's just BMW silver always looks pants on the cars I see at the car Stealer. I haven't seen a E89 mind you but 3 series X3 X5 i3 2series tourers always look lacking in some way. It never seems bright enough. Mr Wilks looks better but it doesn't look like the normal silver on said cars. I'd like to see it in the flesh to be totally convinced.

Owner probably covered the miles going to & from the golf club
Probably stinks of piss and parma violets..

Ooooo dear 
looks a decent enough example in Havannah brown / 62k 35i dct for £13k but 17inch wheels are killing it 
not a good look & the seller thinks they are 18s :erm:

Ad also says car is metallic silver.
Look at this one with a different perspective & you could be onto a bespoke 35i manual for sub 30i money :wink:
Pretty sure £10k would drive it away , yes a gash colour combo but throw a £1k wrap on + fresh alloys & a different car all together

decent spec too & not silly miles on 62k either

But its not an M!! :lol:pvr said:
I did 4 hours in the seat today , around 150 country miles with a few stops through a deserted Normandy countryside & i'm 100% convinced i made the right move avoiding the DCT
i'm not slating the other as ive not lived with one but for me today id have simply been watching the scenery go by instead of actually getting involved :evil: 5th - 4th into the bends , 3rd out with hammer down :drool: was great & could have stayed out longer , in my head & heart i doubt id have kept a DCT longer than 3 months :wink:

I hear you - I was in Normandy and Brittany a month ago with the X5, and found some stunning roads where I enjoyed putting it through its paces. I sure missed the gear changes though.

Yep that’s a very very good buy, superb spec, nav, cruise, heated wheel, comfort pack, a lot of car for 10k.

You can do just the same with a DCT - using the gearstick and/or the paddles. The only difference is ... it changes gear a bit quicker. :wink:
Actually, a lot quicker.
But it’s not the only difference is it Buster, because you’re not actually changing gear but merely operating a micro switch.
I should imagine it’s the same as taking a beautiful woman to bed with a battery operated vibrating piece of plastic, it does the same job but is somehow less involving. No matter how quick it is! :wink:
