Interesting story with it.
Looks smart enough, and whilst not really my thing this could do me a cracking turn.
But - what's it worth?

(I've just realised this might sound like it's mine and I'm trying to publicise it - which isn't the case)

((I've just realised by saying I've just realised this might sound like it's mine, I've increased suspicion that it is, in fact, mine. It's not.))

(((I've just realised by saying "it's not mine" so frequently, that it could be seen as a case of 'doth protest too much')))

You may get some mileage fanboy willing to pay over the ogds but here's the facts:

It's a 520i touring. Nice and smooth, but slooooooww and thirsty.
It's menstrual red (Calypso Red, actually).
It has a standard cloth interior.

On the positive, it will sound great and is very commodious and comfortable.

If it were a 525, it would go for very decent money indeed. The 2.0 is pretty unloved - especially in the heavier touring shell. It's not that good a spec and the colour combo makes it look quite dreary when it could be something quite cheeky. I'd say £900 to £1200

Might still have a punt on this at the right money. I was expecting under £1k, but not willing to pay it!
