I tend to change cars every 6 months or so out of boredom mostly so have a fair bit of experience with shifting them.

Most of the time it's pretty painless but my last car (BMW 530i M Sport) was a real pain despite being well priced and absolutely immaculate.

I had about 15 enquiries in total:-

2 were phone calls from people wanting to see the car - of which 1 bought it
8 were text offers - will I take £5k for a car worth £8k?
5 were scam text messages from dodgy web sites offering to buy it

Compared to my last few cars (Mazda 6 MPS, BMW 320d, Audi S6, MG ZT) which all sold pretty much painlessly with about 3 phone calls leading to a sale it made me think is it something about the car that attracts dheads to make stupid offers or is it just an exception?

Reading around seems a pretty common issue for BMWs - read into that what you will.
