I've picked up the new steed so I could really do with moving her on as soon as possible.
In my eyes and with everything that's been sorted during my ownership, I feel the car's worth £12,000 but I'm open to sensible offers.
A little background
I bought the car back in April of this year after deciding to sell my 535d Touring. I met with Cam (the6 on here) a couple of times and I decided the car was for me.
The big thing for me was that the gearbox had been refurbished and after a test drive, it felt very solid and had clearly been looked after.
One aspect I thought I'd struggle with was the slightly dated interior but at the time, I put that to the back of my mind as I didn't want to be deterred from owning one of these awesome cars. Unfortunately this is an area I've always struggled with and I've always slightly craved the luxuriousness of the BMW's interior, so hence why I'm returning to the brand of Bavarian beauties.
Before owning the car, I knew how much they could destroy a mans wallet so I did as much research as I could before making a purchase. This car came up and it had clearly been looked after and had recently had the gearbox refurbished which was a must really.
I always ensure the cars I own are looked after and cared for properly so if work needs to be done, it's done.
During my ownership the car has only ever been washed by hand and finished with Dodo Juice Purple Haze. The paintowork I would say is in good condition but does have a few stone chips as you'd expect.
The car is in good mechanical health and has never let me down and most of the items that can potentially go wrong have been replaced.

Here's a couple of photos of the car before the private plate was removed and before the windows were tinted.
I'll try and take some more photos of the interior and exterior once it's had a good clean inside and out.
