Would you spend £40,000 on this? - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Gibbo · 11-17-2011, 04:11 PM

This Aston is for sale at £40k with 500 miles on the clock. I know that for some people money is no object but this is surely a step to far?

In a word, Peter, dear chap.... NO!!!!!

That has given me the idea to hunt for what I would spend £40k on...Thanks!!

moar · 11-17-2011, 04:20 PM

Yes, just so I can just set it alight with :

1 engine bay camera
1 interior camera from front to back
1 interior camera from back to front
8 exterior cameras from the ground
1 exterior camera as a birdseye
1 exterior camera located under the car viewing from the back towards the front of the car

All cameras in uber H-h-h-h-hd !

Thats a wanted ad.

Fair play to Aston though, its a hell of a way of getting around EU emissions vehicle quotas..

MPower10s · 11-17-2011, 05:38 PM

ew, its just a toyota iQ

m@rk · 11-17-2011, 05:42 PM

I would really like one of those just for the fun factor and the looks it would get.

Having said that, I saw the new Mercedes AMG Black that hit the press today in bright yellow and thought that looked good as well.

Would I pay that sort of money for it? Hell no!

CarAbuser · 11-17-2011, 05:52 PM

The 1 series seemed to sell well to people who just want the badge to impress the neighbours so maybe that little Aston will do well.

I do like that C63 AMG Black Edition. Looks truly beastly. Just makes me cringe thinking how much servicing it would need!

The 1 series sells well because it is a great car.

I have had 2 E90s and 2 1 series, and I unless you are someone who cares what the neighbours think the 123d beats the 320d hands down.

sheps · 11-17-2011, 07:00 PM

We looked at running on of the launch models on a two year lease for a bit of a giggle, a runabout for town.

I stopped giggling when I realised it'd be as much as the C63....

creepy coupe · 11-18-2011, 04:50 AM

People who pay £2000 for a handbag will though.

Giff · 11-18-2011, 05:57 AM

I don't think it matters if nobody buys them, theyre sooo cheap to modify from the IQ that it means a good percentage of Aston's available products meet certain emissions targets, that way they get to produce a load of nice V12s...
Don't you love EU regs!

Daft isn't it, maybe the % should be based on units sold? If it really meant anything.

Dizzle · 11-18-2011, 07:43 AM

No chance.

And I bet if you buy an IQ and brought some aftermaket kit you could make it look the same for way over half the price

zltm089 · 11-18-2011, 08:19 AM

no way!!!!!!! ... i'd buy it for £2k.....nothing more....

Baby Dave · 11-18-2011, 04:32 PM

£40k for that is a bit bonkers

dxb335d · 11-18-2011, 04:40 PM

Mine was dropped off this afternoon. Pretty well screwed together. Hope my Nan likes it.
