No, but it looks lush 8)
Cool, I can live with that 
. Still a lot of money though in my opinion.

AlanJ - I think I can be of some assistance 
I live in Cheltenham, back at the end of May/ start of June my zed went into Cotswold BMW (Cheltenham) for MOT and that's when I first laid eyes on this car, and have been watching it since.
So back in June this year it was first listed at £19,950 in Cheltenham. I knew it wouldn't sell (never helped that they sat it next to a pair of E89's that were at circa £21k!!).
After a little while they dropped the price to £19,450 and still no change. What with the nice summer maybe they were optimistic but as I say sitting an over priced '07 plate next to all the other convertibles was never helping win people over. It dropped to £18,950.
So it was early August when it finally disappeared, or so I thought. I started dating a girl in August (now Girlfriend 8) ) who happens to live round the corner from the Gloucester Dealership and it was on the way over to her one day that I noticed it sat at there. Price now dropped by another k obviously.
Two things I guess:
1. You'll be in a strong position in terms of price, I'm pretty sure after a few months of it sitting around they'll been keen to get rid of it.
EDIT: just to say I guess it may be of concern that the car has been sat around that long, but with that low a mileage at that age, I'm guessing it's not been driven that regularly anyway.
Oh and...
2. I never asked any questions about it but I did have a good look round it a couple of times, it really is a stunning car, if it weren't for the price I could have been tempted. The interior looked in great condition but I seem to recall a few little marks on the bodework that you'd want sorted... of course that may have been done now anyway.
Any further questions don't hesitate to ask

It's lovely, but overpriced even as it is. IMMie was up at 18850 with 6000 miles on the clock. Otherwise, and other than colour, spec for spec almost identical.
I reckon you'd get that for mid 16s
Cotswold BMW aren't keen to do deals, I walked away from a 3.5iS there as they were unrealistic on their price and crap on part ex.
Good luck if you go for it though, it's lovely.

I agree it does seem strong money but I have purchased all my bmws as AUC cars apart from my zed & AUC are always historically overpriced but I have been willing to pay it for the piece of mind...although that's still not guaranteed.Carsonking said:Cool, I can live with that
As for the E85/E89 debate bmw deliberately made the E89 a cruiser as thats what customers wanted, I love both incarnations & I personally prefer the looks of the E89 & really like its versatile nature with the hard top, but I do believe the E85 to be a more sports orientated steer.
That's still a lot of money. Especially in the low season. I have that spec except the Sat Nav and bought mine two years ago for £15k with 15k on thr clock. If you bide your time, I bet you'll get a better price. Good luck though - lovely looking.
Good luck to the new owner
