This is a massive long-shot as this post is a good 3 months old now. Nevertheless, I have a 2.2 e85 (04 plate) - I'm thinking of changing up to a 3.0 litre and I'd much rather sell it to a forum user... If you're still in the market?
Quick summary to stir up interest: Manual -103k miles - Comprehensive service history - Silver - Black Leather - Aux input - 17 inch alloys in good condition - Will have a fresh service as of Friday (23rd Jan) - Had camshaft sensor, crankshaft sensor, roof motor (£££) and tires all replaced within the last 10,000 miles at my local specialist.
To be honest I love this car - I drove it to Croatia and back in summer and it didn't miss a beat the whole way (3,000 miles) that's a testament to its reliability. The 2.2 is probably the perfect balance between power and economy for every day use. It's also easily insurable, I was only 20 with 1NCB when I got insured for £1500 for the year. (That's cheap nowadays for a lad my age!)
I really don't want to sell it to be honest, after owning a 1.9 BMW Z3 before this I'm working myself up the engine sizes. I've just gotten used to the power now and I've been out in a 3.0 so I have my heart set on that.
Let me know if you're still on the lookout- also anyone else interested in a 2.2 feel free to PM me. Even better still, anyone with a lower mileage 3.0 that would take a 2.2 as part ex... you know what to do
