Yeah, that 12 plate one is proper poverty spec; base audio, no heated seats, no xenons, no adaptive headlights, no highbeam assist, etc

[Willbatch]

The white one is lovely, individual audio as well!

Alpine white i think, otherwise known as police car white, otherwise yes, nice spec.

Hi all, apologies for going quiet but work has been mental due to the current situation.

Just so we're all clear I was asking what you thought it may be worth and wether £8k was achievable. Well you've all been kind enough to give me your opinion, the main one being loud & clear that £8K should be more than acheivable & I would be stupid to sell at that price.

Things are obviously all up in the air right now and the wife is telling me I cant buy the M140i I had my heart set upon. So the need for a quick sale is no longer on the table and I can take my time but thanks for all the interest.

Any pictures of the damage?

Berkshire, few miles West of Reading

Some more pics from today including damage to splitters & side skirt. Hopefully will get the 313's put back on tomorrow.

If you want to sell it cheap, within 24hrs, put it up for 10 grand on ebay/ph.

Thanks I knew the manuals were rare but didn't know they were that rare!

[Willbatch]

Do you want to sell this?

[Cribert]

It feels like he doesn’t at all from the way this thread has went

[Willbatch]

Shame I’m just about to buy a 335d and would of had this

[Arch Stanton]

if the OP isn't selling his I may be talked into selling my pre LCI 335i E91. More miles than this one but FBMWSH, completely stock and extended warranted cared for. PM me if you wish but I'll hopefully be starting a sell thread in a couple of days. Need to see if my old ma will lend men her car as she won't be using it for a while.

Ok after long discussion with the other half I’ll be putting this up for sale at £9.5k not including the winter wheels. If forgot to say it has extended BMW warranty and will start a new for sale thread as this wasn’t a for sale thread to start with & is a mess. Probably won’t have time to put that up till this evening though.

I can imagine a great deal of FOMO will ensue when the ad goes up! Great spec

Definitely.

[jimborae]

Hi all just to update, the car is provisioinally sold to Willbatch. However due to the current lockdown situation we have agreed to put the sale is on hold. Therefore please dont send me more PM's etc as it would be unfair on all concerned to respond.

If anything changes, when the travel restrictions are lifted, then I will start a new for sale thread. Thanks everyone for advice & interest and stay safe.

Finally here are the latest pics, now with the BMW original M-Performance 313's on.

It won’t change 😝

Just to update once again, yesterday was a very sad day for me, Willbatch & I finally did the dirty and the old girl left my driveway for the last time.

Glad that its gone to a very good home and another forum member though, she will be sorely missed.

Now the hunt for a massively specced, late plate M140i begins, so far its proving impossble.

Fair play to you Jim, holding the car all this time for the same fella. Many dishonourable people out there would have not waited so long and instead put it back up for the highest bidder. Kudos mate.

Lovely car Will, you’ve got a diamond

Lovely car and rare, strong spec too. I keep an eye on prices and that's £10k minimum all day long, although I'd have advertised it at £12k and I doubt it would have hung around.

[Willbatch]

I’m over the moon with it, absolutely spectacular car 👍👍

[Maph]

Sorry to hear you have moved it on James but many congrats to Will for taking it off your hands, a great buy.

Still have mine, now on 93k have thought about moving it on but cannot find anything with a manual box that appeals. Spent a few K on a suspension and turbo refresh and it is running better than ever, they are great cars and very rare.

Enjoy it Will.
