Hi guys, i cant post a link [not allowed] but ive had my car in the classifieds for about 10 days or so now, and have had very little response.
Car is 330 ci coupe in silver with almost everything, 45000 miles FSH. Thought i might have had a few calls showing interest.

cry oh well leave it for another 10 days or so, and if still no sale, ill just blcensoreddy well keep it!

Got to be patient as I was told a few weeks ago on here. Unfortunately as good as they are, not many people are looking at these cars anymore.
Is yours an msport? Mine was an SE with all the msport options which also didn't help the sale; mine was in awesome condition as it was professionally detailed etc. I had plenty of interest but only one real interest who was the buyer in the end.
What year etc is yours and I'll have a look?

"Any test drives will be driven by me". This would have me passing by your ad if I was looking I'm afraid. I'm not going to spend >£4k on something I can't drive first!

Maybe do the wheel refurb yourself? You've been straight about them in the ad and it could be negotiated in the price I guess, but it's hassle to most people. And they don't really fit with the well looked after low mileage portrayal of the car.

Good luck!

I'd agree that getting the wheels done yourself will certainly help the sale. I've just had mine done on my Alpina for £280 so not expensive really.

Also drop the test drives comment as noted above. It's an old BMW worth a few grand, not an Enzo!

As a potential buyer I am looking for

330ci
xenons/bi xenons
heated seats
sapphire black
black leather
6 speed manual
up to 100k on the clock
Face lift
Coupe
auto wipers/washers
BMW FSH
Msport
Msport alloys
auto dim mirrors
electric mirrors
folding mirrors

Things which I need to factor into the price are stuff like bushes and coolant system replacement.

All for around 5-6k

Now I can't see your link but I'm failing to find any models with the majority of those features anymore where as before christmas it was quite easy. Wish I had bought then. You also have people marking up their cars for 7-8k because they saw this guide price on parkers or whatever. It is just totally unrealistic.

If I knew which advert was your car I could point out the things putting me off.

Btw I am not even bothering to look at the SE due to my msport and facelift requirement.
