Hello Gents/Ladies,
Selling my pride and joy! Arrival of baby forces me to sell, and get something sensible and diesel!
Here's the link on Pistonheads for photographs etc:

This is the 3.0i SE model (231bhp), with the M sports suspension and 6 speed manual gearbox. It has the 18" wheels, with almost new Falken 452 tyres all round. The rest of the huge specification is as follows:
Dark Metallic Blue with Grey roof, Toledo Blue
Cream Leather interior
Heated and electrically adjustable seats, with seat memory
Fully automatic roof, which can be activated from the remote key
Sports button (increases throttle response and stiffens steering)
Air Conditioning & Climate Control
Auto sensing wipers
Auto sensing lights
Auto dipping mirror
Xenon lights with high pressure washer jets
Heated glass rear screen
Bluetooth prep (works with iPhone 4, for those who are interested - phone book downloads to car)
Changeable phone dock in centre glovebox (between the seats)
Cruise Control
Trip Computer
Multifunction steering wheel (including phone controls)
DSC (dynamic stability control / traction control)
Wind deflector (fits in boot when not in use)
CD player
Uprated 10 speaker premium sound system, including sub's behind the seats (sounds amazing even at 70mph with the roof off)
AUX jack input for iPods/MP3/iPhone etc.
Parrot MKi 9200 Hands Free calling and control your iPod from the remote control unit with cover art etc.
Rear parking sensors
Type pressure indicator
Debadged (no wing badges stating 3.0i - nice and stealth
!)
2 remote keys, and 1 wallet key.
Electronic boot open (can be done off the key fob)
First aid kit under passenger seat
Retractable cup Holders
The car has a full service history, BMW stamps up until the last two services which were done. At 82,450 miles now, the car has not long had the big inspection 2 service (62,000), and the oil service (78831). The next Inspection 1 service isn't due for another 12,000 miles. The engine runs flawlessly, and pulls like a train.
It flew through this years MOT. It's currently MOT'd until September 2012 and Road Tax up until Feb 2012.
Condition of the car is absolutely excellent for a 7 year old car. For the sake of honesty the car has 1 or 2 very minor marks on the paint and alloys, but you have to be looking very closely to see these and not unexpected for the age. The interior is spotless, again with a few tiny marks but nothing you can see unless looking for them. I'm genuinely very proud of the cars condition, and it's the same (if not better) than when I bought it due to having given it a very thorough (9 hour) detail earlier this year! The roof is still totally waterproof, and the mechanism is still working like new.
On the motorway at 70mph, I can get 40mpg even with the roof down. I once drove from Norwich to Guildford and managed 42mpg average over a 360 mile journey!
For a 3.0 car that does 0-60 in 5.9seconds, that's pretty incredible. Combined driving, I genuinely average 30-35mpg. It's not the cost of running it that's forcing me to sell, but the practicality with my new arrival!
I recently installed a Parrot Bluetooth MKi 9200 for the iPod functionality. This is a fantastic bit of kit and shows album artwork and playlists etc.
Up until I sell the car I will still be using it so the mileage may go up.
Any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I am open to sensible offers.
I'm based in Godalming, Surrey.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers,
John
