Breathtaking in so many ways.

My personal favourite detail is the external M badges stuck to the driver and passenger headrests. jester

Why is there a floor mat on the dash?
Just in case you want to put your feet up, of course.

Because a 520d SE really does need BMW mSport badges on every single panel........

Tends to be a 'thing' in hotter climes to stop the dash from cracking, not really sure it's necessary in Bolton. hehe

All that money spent on Aliexpress on st could probably have got him into a 525d instead of that hateful van engined turd.

I like the BMW-branded accessories most, but that is a special touch.

Also 21k for a 16 year old car that wasn't that great to start with is batst. Surely it's worth less than half that, even with a supposedly new engine.

Do you reckon he also wears a BMW branded jacket along with a BMW branded basecall cap everywhere he goes, and stores his money in a BMW branded wallet? And his wallpaper on his phone is his BMW taken at night with the sidelights on parked over a puddle?

Yep, that sounds about right. I've spent some time standing at the parts counter in our BMW dealers, and the branded tat they have on display is hilarious, as are the prices. I'd always wondered who actually bought the stuff.

Well less than half of that. Could knock off a zero and I still wouldn't buy it.

For the same money you can get an M4, with less than half the miles on it. The guy is living in dreamland.

I used to follow a dealer until recently on Facebook due to their prep effort. Over the last year however their pricing has been getting eye watering.

Its a white 335d saloon (which isnt even that practical) of the E90 era, yes its got amazingly low miles but 18k its up for.

Yes 18k for an old tech car with a diesel engine - not even an M3. Now its mint but I just don't get it. You could easily see yourself in a much newer one for that and I cant see its collectable in any shape or form.
James Glen Car sales? I think i've seen the ad for that BWM

Their car prep is generally very good, I'd happily buy from them.......If I had the money biggrin

They seem a pretty pricey but have been going for over 40 years, so mustn't be putting off too many people. Always see videos of the guy come up online.

That's a good £20k more than this one, showing 5000 fewer miles.
