I'm (still) looking for a nice and tidy E86 Coupe in Sport trim, manual only.
Well maintained, good service history, not too many miles(60/70k?).
Ideally comes with xenons, heated seats, rear parking sensors, cruise control and a nice contrasting combo, not black please.
Anything in the south is preferred as I am based in the London area but I can also travel for the right one.

Cheers! :thumbsup:
 
There have been a few advertised on here recently - have none been close enough to what you want?

FWIW you are looking for almost all of the options which is fairly unusual - most cars seem to have some of them but not many have them all. If it helps cruise control is pretty easy to retrofit as BMW still sell the control stalk and "srhutch" on here can make up the section of wiring loom required for not much cost.

Good luck anyway. :thumbsup:

Thanks! Indeed several recently on sale caught my eye but for some reason or another I didn't ended up making an offer.
That only means the right one is still there somewhere for me! :D

I hope so!

My 1st 3.0Si Sport had Bi-Xenons, heated seats and the top of the range Carver stereo. My 2nd one had Cruise, rear parking sensors and cup-holders (all retro-fitted) which hopefully illustrates what I was trying to explain.

Luckily my MC has all of those features, plus an antiquated Sat-Nav that I've only ever used once on my way home from picking it up because I was stuck on the A1(M) when it was closed due to an accident. :roll:
 
I get what you mean, indeed that's why I kept passing many on sale, there was always something missing that put me off.
It's a toy after all, might as well have all the goodies :D
Most of the MC seem to have all the nice options however, for me personally the regular coupe is more suited.
 
You're not alone in wanting heated seats (looking at previous wanted posts and adverts) but I don't miss them in my E86 (it doesn't have them). I can understand the desire more in a soft top (my MX-5 has them and they get used occasionally) but my coupe is always garaged and not used in really bad weather, so I'm never that cold in it.
 
Still looking for my coupe!!
Funny, since I've started my search I've seen some e86 being sold a couple of times, including some I've previously checked myself!

Anyways, I'll summarise again my ideal coupe:

E86, manual, sport
Xenon, parking sensors, heated seats
Exterior in Silver grey, space grey, titanium silver or Montego blue
Interior: black, red, light grey, no nav :P
Well maintained and up to date service history
Lower milage, 60k or lower but will consider others if well presented
South of England and surroundings

Cheers!
 
Hi,

I'm just getting mine ready for sale, haven't done the full write up yet but here are the basics off the top of my head:

3.0Si Coupe
just over 78K
Titanium Silver,
black leather, heated, electric seats
Full service history, well maintained by BMW specialist (lots of paperwork and receipts)
Recent service couple of month ago
I've spent money on it (maintence done not just basic oil changes etc)
New battery, new front suspension arm bushes, replaced DSC last year
Rear parking sensor
Cruse control
6 disc CD changer

Bad points
few stone chips,
tyres are good but mixed as I was going to switch to non run flats
Had the wheels referbed last year but I scratched the front 2, rears are perfect.

It's a great car, I hardly use it, last few years only done about 1K miles per year!!

I live in North London, not far from Southgate Tube station on Piccadilly Line can pick you up.

Interested?

I'm washing it today, make it nice n shinny then on Saturday do interior then it will be ready.

Come have a look, probably looking for £13k ono

Thanks
