What is it with garages nicely spreading out & displaying previous tax discs like that's some kind of justification towards the price or indication that the vehicle is mint! There's genuinely never been anything in my give a f*ck pocket about the old tax discs when I buy a car.
there's something there but somethings got to go 
Now your talking....
She we be like a week old french stick if i lay on her for half an hour.....Not that it would worry me..
Mine has now come onto the searches...Apparently they prioritise the listings or something,to make sure you can find what you are looking for but can take upto 24hrs...
Mine is the cheapest on there by quite a way!

Very very odd strategy with this one if they've upped the price from 12k to 15k... in what world do you put the price up when you can't shift a car? This one has been around since I was looking for a ///M back in January. Bearing in mind I got mine for 11.7k with 64k miles on from a franchised dealer, 15k with 92k miles is a stretch. Unless they're adjusting their prices in line with Sytner upping theirs.

You have to bear in mind your car iirc was poorly advertised from a non specialist car dealer who i doubt had any real idea just what they had on their books 8)
The time of year also played a part but ultimately hats off to you for taking the punt & to a certain extent going "blind" on it
That risk i am sure will reward you in the future

I'm also hoping for the fairytale story with my purchase, but I'm a cynic and a realist, I struggle to accept that a dealership the size of Evans Halshaw wouldn't price a car appropriately and would miss something like this! I'll keep trying to convince myself though, it can happen. :lol:Id say your car was priced by EH at slightly above their trade in price & being the cold winter months are just happy to hit turnover targets , possibly didn't make more than £500/£1000 out of the car
I don't know the intimate details of the car but what you paid / miles would lead me to think you are heading for depreciation proof motoring :wink: can't say the same for majority of other BMW s

Well EH are footing the bill for a new power steering pump next week and a fair few hours of BMW labor time, so I reckon that'll eat their profit right up! Unlucky.mr wilks said:
I'm shoveling cash into mine though, as I'm sure a lot of you guys have already done. £700 at the end of the month for a 7 day detailing session and full stock 224 alloy refurb, which I might cancel in favor of some CSLs, then possibly go down the aftermarket air intake route and uprated springs.

So BMW leicester priced this at £20,850 & now they've upped it to £23,850, wow!
...not even a great colour combination for the price!
Due to pricing of these I'm having a look at an E92 M3 later to see what I think of one of those. The Z4 suits me better but wondering if the high-tech M3 will get my excited (has DCT and well loaded with options). Hopefully the last of the V8's will hold value well too moving forward
Have you driven an E9x M3 ?
I was going for one when i sold my 911 C4S..... No no and again no....
Fast but boring,you could be sat in a 318d interior wise......
Price wise they are doing what the E39 M5 and E60 M5 did....In that good E46 M3's are close to newer E9x prices,people are getting scared as stories of engines popping are becoming more prevalent...Throttle bodies are common too.....
That said....They have dropped about 3k in the last year,and many of the cars i saw are still for sale when i was looking...so they arent selling quickly if at all..
Good luck with that one Darren..
