*** HELP Info needed *** M6 - KG55 XBR - Can you help?

[dubbs]

Went to look at it today as it's an AUC car...Interlagos blue, full leather, good spec

Anyone know the car or can enlighten me on its history? All looked ok from a documentation point of view...

Front bonnet and wings look like it may have had a spray to remove stone chips but checked stamps and stickers and they are all original parts from factory so no accidents :-)

If any of you are on MTorque I'd appreciate you posting there for me to as I applied for a member registration a few days back and still can't post.

Thanks

P.S Test drive was AMAZING!!!!!!!!! That M button is like selecting "thermonuclear war" :-D

I can find a small amount of info on it, was a dealer launch car at Elms Bedford, but I guess you know that..£87.5k list

[dubbs]

Total cost with options was over 89k apparently - in Sept 07 :-)

Has full leather, bluetooth with telematics, full leather, remote control, piano black gloss

Even liked it in auto mode ;-)

[okgo]

Must have had some extras dealer fitted then as it was £86,975 excluding OTR when it left the factory

[dubbs]

Either way it's a fair chunk less now :-D Thanks for the info, much appreciated

Can you dig any more info out? Especially interested in service work etc., as everything tallied up perfectly today even the diag printouts they showed me and the remote key download information.

Would be interested to know latest s/w versions so I can compare and ensure I get something running all the latest...

:-D

[okgo]

I can access it monday..I will post it up

[Schermerhorn]

what's it worth now (or sticker price)?

What does all that mean?

Thanks for looking but without knowing what it means it doesn't really help :-)

[dazren]

I'm guessing it's dates, dealership and mileage when the car was in a BMW network workshop?

Did it have the initial oil change done?

[bmw2002]

3000 miles in the last 18 months....not had much use then.

Doesn't appear so.

It had recorded the initial service at roughly 1400 miles, serviced regularly according to stamps in the book.

Interested in those phoenix entries to know what was done each time as that's roughly every 1000 miles

Car is now on 30927miles

[dubbs]

@Dazren - yep, initial oil service done at 1400 miles (thereabouts)

Well it looks as though after those 4 visits he hasn't used it.....try to get hold of previous owner, dealer should give you that info and find out why, unless its been sat on a forecourt for months.

Ah, good.

Just curious why it didn't appear on Donuts stats.

[dubbs]

It changed ownership around the time of that last visit to Phoenix - Got the impression it was more of a toy for the last owner which, change of driving pattern from 10k a year to 5k a year would make sense.

I'm getting some more info anyway but bearing in mind full AUC warranty plus going through BMW checks etc., should all be ok shouldn't it?

You guys are worrying me already!! :-)

[DjSki]

What are you worried about? Its an AUC car (nil excess warranty), can't see buying a car any another way part from new being any safer.

[dubbs]

Not worried... just want to make sure the history tallies up perfectly and I know exactly what I'm buying

Trying hard to allow the head to rule the heart as I LOVED it.
