Hi all

Not new to PH but new to the BMW area, and new to BMWs in general.

We are looking to replace our Skoda Octavia for a 3 or 5 series touring in the near future and I stumbled across this on AT; just wanted peoples opinions on it please

Mileage is obviously 120k??

Price is ok.

Green is not everyone's cup of tea.

Not sure what he means by "sport"

I have emailed him about the mileage, I think it must be a typo too. Even with 120k it seems ok on price, although I can only base this on similar cars for sale.

Personally I like the green, and the alloys, so thats ok.

I assume there wasn't a 'Sport' spec then?

Any majoy gremlins I should be looking for?

Cheers

Sport models tend to have M door mouldings, M bumpers etc etc. That one does not.

I think the price is fair.

I would go in at £1600 and go from there.

Thanks for the help, unfortunately it has sold

The hunt continues...

the hunt has turned up this E39 touring, looks a little cheap to me but that could be due to the lack of leather and it being manual I guess.

Any comments before I drive 80+miles to see it?
