Mega.
Best (I'm with Prinny's lawyer) alloys for it, too. I like this shape.

Prefer the Style 92 on these.
Facelift is a much better looking car in the E65.

Very proud (past) owner of a Monaco Blue 750i.
2006 55 reg so facelift but still sensible road tax.
362 brake horse, IIRC. Lovely, lovely car.

Would not hesitate to recommend.

Does this suggest the suspension is broken?

I'd say.

This suggests run away, quite fast:

Not bad that; sat on the best 20" alloys for them too, Style 149s cool Loved them on my previous E65:



However with that V8; I'd personally want to check it thoroughly for the well known valve stem oil seal issues, coolant pipe issues etc...

TBH I'd rather gamble less on this, higher miles, but lots of essential work done and it looks spotless:

Hah indeed I did spot that as well. I would never buy an aging barge from a dealer called "Nice Cars" either.

New v5 in 2014. Therefore, not really one owner car. It really is annoying this garbage from traders.

And there's scrapes on another arch in one of the pics; grill missing from driver's door speaker; rear arm rest appears to have been in a fight... nothing about that car says it's worth more than selling the alloys and weighing the rest in.

I had a 2.0 Manuel. It was not un economical. You could not really expect much from an engine made in the nineties. It is actually an American model and was built there. It felt rather tired at 150k so got rid for £230 around 5 years ago. Beong advertised as family car with 2 doors and coupé, seriously?
£230 is not far off the deposit I've just put on the black 2.0 auto
Oh, forgot to mention that the air vents cannot be closed from the center console. They can be turned on or off via climate control, but the side vents could be closed. It is very odd design feature...

On the other hand A4 B8 would adjust the speed of the blower by itself. If I set the speed lower then it would adjust even lower. If the speed was increased then it would increase even more by a few points. It is not even set on auto... furious

Ooof. That's a lot of car for the money.

Only odd thing is it is a trade advert yet does not reveal the name of the apparent dealer, just a couple of mobile numbers. Might ring them tomorrow and see what the deal is.

Go for it if they have got the receipts for the work it's a good buy and the colour is nice

Look like ones off a W211 AMG. I personally couldn't be having with that grey interior, but otherwise that looks spiffing. Only tiny caveats are the low-rent private plate and a suspicion the seller has pulled the old "seat-belt trick" to conceal bolster wear.

NI plate winds me up too, I'd try and get it back onto something age-appropriate.
