Ok, it only seems like yesterday I sold the ST 
I am actually selling my car as I've decided I'd like to try life without paying a loan every month! I will have to put up with something slow for maybe 6 months to a year and see where I go from there.
It is a silver 120d Sport on a 55 plate. It has 48k miles. I have just put 6 months tax on it and the mot I think is due very shortly, so I will get 12 months mot on it too. Alloys are 16 inch with Continental RFTs all round, good tread on all of them, rears are almost new. It has the usual spec, sports seats, 6 speed gear box, climate control, rear parking sensors...probablya lot more that I can't think of right now!
It's a speculative listing as I know most people on here probably aren't looking for one... but you never know 
Any questions just let me know. Looking for as close to £10k as possible, let me know sensible offers.
Oh yes, the car has no finance outstanding, is in generally very good condition, though the odd stone chip here and there from our shocking road conditions!
Car drives superbly and pulls like.... it just pulls 
couple of pics I have taken previously:



Thanks for looking, J.
Edit: I should mention, it is a BMW approved used car and has a couple of weeks warranty left on it, this can be extended, I think it's approx £400 a year. The BMW warranty is nothing like Ford, they actually look for things to do for you!

It's already sorted... and it's embarrassing... haha, basicaly my nan has a Rover 25 which she can no longer drive, its an 02 plate and has 21k miles on the clock, has a service at least every 12 months, just a shame for it to go to the market for bugger all. So I thought I'd rack some miles up on it for a bit and save my loan repayments towards something I want... I would like to get a weekend car if I can... E36 M3 Cab is at the top of the list, in Estoril Blue, have to see though...

Yeah cheers guys, I will be really sad to see it go, I thought I'd be keeping it for three years minimum, it has loads of good attributes, oh well, will get saving when it goes

If it had been a white one with 3 doors I could have had a go at persuading my other half but she is stubborn so wont get her round to a 5 door. Good luck selling, sometimes it makes sense to cut your outgoings for the long game

Cheers Dave, yeah that's what I am thinking, have had two main dealers offer me £8.8k and £9k so I might just go with one of them as it's straight forward, no doubt it'll be on the forecourt £11.5k!
Tell your other half... 5 doors is cool... on 1 series' lol

It would be easier to carry water to the top of a mountain in a string vest than change the mind of my other half

M3 yes, but why a cab? I think that nearly all cars without a hard top don't look as good and I personally don't think it does the M3 any favours. Each to their own though, and good luck with the sale

Thanks for the support people, looks like the dealer will be having it though.
M3 cab is just sexy! I know what you mean about the looks but I like it with soft top - and intend to buy with a hard top for winter/autumn....ok spring too, take it off for the 3 days of sun we get each year

Yes Jimmy they are like that over here... I'd probably do the same.... but until I do I just laugh at them, roof down, big jacket, scarf and hat, makes me laugh every time 
Conversely, was really nice this morning, saw an A3 and A4 convertible with their roof up! What is the point!!
