Really don't want to be selling, but I have put it off long enough and with a baby on the way, I can't keep a 2 seater as my only car :cry: hopefully, I have priced it low enough for a quick sale.

BMW individual Ruby Black metallic paint with individual Champagne Nappa interior and piano black trim.

Registered Nov. 2006

Fully loaded spec with;
Premium sound system,
sat nav,
bluetooth,
ipod cable,
m-sport seats - electric, memory and heated
m sport suspension
auto box with flappy paddles
ice cold aircon
m sport steering wheel (this is such a good steering wheel probably the thing I'll miss most about the car)
Xenon headlights

I have done some updates to the car whilst I have had it;
Full LED interior lighting
Sat nav software updated for speed camera locations and 7 digit postcodes
Scooba_Steve LED strip boot lighting
Roof motor has been relocated to the boot
Added the genuine wind deflector (no boot clips)

I have also refurbished the steering wheel plastics
New water pump fitted last year (genuine pierberg)
Sat nav screen has been dismantled and mechanism silicone greased

I purchased it with full service history and have serviced it each year at MOT time whilst I have had it... But I realized recently the mechanic took the service book out to stamp it and never put it back, he is currently looking for it but has moved premises so informs me it could be one of three places so as it stands I do not have the history with the car, hopefully, that will be resolved soon but TBH its out of my hands. :(

Only another issue I can think is with the O/S headlight washer jet which does have a slight drip. I did purchase a replacement but took a while booking in to get it swapped and once the mechanic had the front end apart ready to fit the new one he informed me the replacement had a broken mount where the washer jet cover attaches. As the car was in [pieces he offered to try and repair the old jet, which he did and it is a lot better than it was but still drips, it was just \at the point where I could live with it but it does mean topping up washer fluid every so often, it is usually somewhere between 4-8 weeks I need to refill it.

Bodywork is generally pretty good condition for the age, I have checked over a few times and can't see any dints in the metal, but as it is my daily driver and had to on occasion be parked in the supermarket carpark etc there are a few minor marks on the plastics but nothing that really stands out is nothing that was I felt worth getting fixed. There are a couple of kerb marks on the N/S alloys as it has been driven on occasion by the wife :roll: these are noticeable up close but not from any normal distance.

All the photos were taken yesterday so should give a really accurate idea of how the car looks now

MOT runs until December. Milage is currently 103580 but will rise slightly as it is in daily use but I don't have a long commute and no long trips planned.

Private plate is not included in the price I may be tempted to sell however, either with the car or separately, as I do have another private reg on retention but would have to be a decent offer as otherwise was going to put it on my wife's car.

Car is located in Huddersfield

Nice z James
Exactly what I’d be after if I could put myself through the hassle of selling mine.
Love that interior 😀
 
Had a few questions asking about the service history, I have started piecing it together and know dates of the 3 main dealer services, just waiting on an email from BMW with the full details of those, and also dates and mileage and some details of the last 4 independent garage services.

04/01/2008 - Marshall BMW Bournemouth -
15/10/2009 - Marshall BMW Salisbury -
18/05/2010 - Cooper BMW York -
¦
10/09/2014 - Firth’s Garage in Heckmondwike - @87061 miles
10/09/2015 - Firth’s Garage in Heckmondwike - @92375 miles
24/11/2016 - Gremlin automotive Huddersfield - insp.2 service @ 97168 miles
16/11/2017 - Connoisseur Classics Huddersfield - oil and filter change @ 100919 miles

These are what I have absolutely confirmed and I do think I have leads on service information for the little gap in the middle but unfortunately no detail there....

I have contacted the previous owner who believes it was serviced by the dealer he purchased it from Car Warehouse in Doncaster who provided a pre-sale service that was purchased by him 09/03/2012 according to the the V5C so there will have been a service somewhere around that point but what was done we can only guess. Also, the 2014 and 2015 services are done at Firth's garage at MOT time I believe as was the 2013 which would have been 15/11/2013 @82,694 miles but again, unfortunately, no information to back that one up.

I will update this post with any further information as I find it.

On another note as I had a question the car is running Bridgestone Potenzas all round 2 were changed less than 2.5k miles ago
