Well, I've been debating it for a while but my friend recently purchasing a Sagaris has sent me over the edge.

I'm putting my girl up for sale (the car, not the toddler). I'm not desperate to sell as it's a great car, but if it does then it'll allow me to scratch the itch of a different kind of machine for a bit. Something that is a bit more hardcore!

Specs are as follows:

2007 BMW 335i SE Coupe with BMW Warranty until 07/2010
21,800 miles
FSH
Pro Sat Nav / Idrive
Full Black Dakota leather with Brushed Aluminium interior

On top of the normal stuff it has (as per BMW email so I'll list everything lol):
Bluetooth
CD preperation
Exterior folding mirrors
Remote alarm
Sliding front armrest
Floor mats
Dynamic cruise control
Fully electric memory seats
Heated front seats
BMW ConnectedDrive
Telematics + BMW Assist
Steptronic with Paddle shifts
Extended storage
Folding mirrors
19" 230 style alloys
Cruise Control

ADDITIONAL EXTRAS
M-sport bumpers and suspension
Carbon touches (badges and M3 lip spoiler)
Matt black front kidney grills
Light tint all round
Evolve re-map
Miltek full stainless exhaust with high flow cats (+ original)
Non runflats - Vredestein with plenty of life left
Stereo upgrade (blaupunkt 575 amp, SWS 8" subs, Logic 7 tweeters)
Thunder bulbs (with originals)

Basically everything you would want to do with the car is there, apart from the things I would have liked to do such as Quafe LSD (it can be bolted straight on this model)

**Update** Forgot to add that the next service is an oil service, due in 9,000 miles time. Also it is taxed until 1st December 09.

I'm still going ahead and doing the '09 Idrive controller conversion unless it goes before the parts come (which should be sometime this week.. if it does then I'll be posting a 'how to' soon after).

I consider the car in superb condition, and I'm real fussy (no eating or drinking in the car etc). A few small touches (few stone chips, small scuff on diffuser, seat bolster as per usual) stop it from being as it was out the factory since I had it detailed with all the hubs being coated.

PM me for contact details.

(P.S. if it sells quickly I'll still be coming to the meet! Just in something a bit different )

M3 on order?

I wish, eventually... most probably going for a CSL.

Car looks fantastic, superb detail!

I'll be seeing Bryan again soon

Best of luck with the sale, that would be a great buy for someone.

[beemerbird]

Thought you meant you'd be getting a TVR. Would be nice!!

Very good spec. on your car and it's tidy to say the least. Good luck.

[- Paul -]

I kept it quiet for you and now you've put it on anyway! ;-)

Good luck with the sale - good spec and nice mods.

[dxb335d]

Also. Do you still have all the SE parts?

Yes it will Christ, if it doesn't sell I'm fine too, it's a great car and I've got it all perfected now... just one of those kinda people I guess, once something is finished I get bored and move on to the next project.

Thanks Porkabird And yes, I'm looking at one of three cars really. In order of preference (today, it changes like the weather...) TVR T350t RR, Exige 240R, M3 CSL. Although I do like the idea of the exige, not having to do crazy speeds to get the same kind of thrill.... but then, that would get old quickly...

Yea that's the original plate. Stevie kept his one. Steve didn't keep any of the SE panels, although not sure why you'd want them, take up too much space anyway.

[trixman]

Oh, and a quick thumbs up for Bryan at Drive 'n' Shine. He did a great job on the detail and it looks spanking. I knew it only needed a professional wax to get the paint shining again but it's all the little bits like the engine bay that really show how clean the car really is.

Just a shame it started pissing down just as he dropped the car off.. why it took me a few days to take pictures (I've not actually cleaned it since as its raining every few hours! But the water just beads off anyway, its great!)

[rogerxp]

Looks a lovely motor. Nice & subtly modded and obviously well cared for. Good look with the sale. Mmm, Sagaris, I was highly tempted by one instead of the 350z but would have well & truely screwed up my token budget.

[beemerbird]

You know, I had you down as the sort of quiet sensible type, not one who gets bored easily............changes like the weather

Not giving you a slaggin btw just learnt something today lol. I get bored easily too, familiarity breeds contempt - sort of.

Reckon that TVR would sound a bit tasty though.

That's what got me started to be honest. My friend turning up in a bright yellow (not my choice of colour tbh) sagaris. Took me for a spin and the amount of attention, just driving down the road, was ridiculous. People letting you out of junctions just to have a look at it. Crazy. Me want.

Had very wild early years but calmed down a lot since, specially since the baby came along, so I guess I'm a bit of both There's a few specific cars I've seen now that I'd like to go and check out but I'm not going to waste anyone's time until I have a firm offer on this one.

[M3-FAST]

Good luck with shifting it Paul, it really looks stunning in the pics, better than brand new!

You should find a buyer very easily

Enjoy looking for your next steed, I love buying cars!!

[trixman]

Ta Paul, it is exciting eh! The other half tells me to be sensible and save it. Oh how little they understand (present company excepted Helen )

Lol, you're right Paul and it is exciting test driving cars, could do it for a living. It's the hours of discussing the deal and finance if applicable that leaves me 'dry', tend to wander off and leave it to him. But then you can work as a team ie. I return having wandered around the show room/chatted to the receptionist other sales men whatever and then hit them with "right years road tax, full tank of fuel etc".

Having lunch with my friend today and she still hasn't got new front tyres for her Astra and I changed my car since she first mentioned she needed them!! Going to have a right good go at her now I've remembered. She can moan all she likes.

I do that... although I'm completely hopeless at negotiating things for myself for some reason... for other people I have no fear and go for the throat, but find it hard to ask for a floor mat for myself!

Hi mate,

I know he kept his plate, ive seen it on all his other cars.
Just wondered whether that was the VERY original one from July 07?!

Any enquiries yet mate?

[trixman]

Yea very original one mate. And yep a few enquiries! Unfortunately from far away so it's all a matter of getting them to visit 'darn sarf'. Also a few swaps but not you know what it's like when you've got your heart set on something specific.
