A very sad day, I'm selling my Elite
« on: 22 November 2013, 19:13:11 »
I have just bought a BMW 530d. This does not please me. However I need a better MPG than my mig will give me, so it has to go.  :'(

'51 plate, 3.2 v6 Elite in grey.

All the usual elite, including:

Cream (ish) leather
NCDC2015
Phone (demonstrated working to me when I bought it, but not used since)
Colour display (no dead pixels etc)
2008/9 satnav disc
Bose Sound System
Rear parking sensors
Never had a CDR in main or changer (during my time), no jumps or skips to discs or errors
All 4 heated seats work
Climate control is cold


102500 (in use) miles
Tax til Jan 14
MOT til
Cambelt done at 88k
Virtually no wear on any instrument buttons
All tyres inc spare (steel) good


No point in telling you how good this car is, if you're here, you know!

Bad bits:

"Soft touch" coating to door pocket flaps is wearing/dirty
Crack in front bumper (towbar i think)
Corner scuff to same
Small area of flaked lacquer to rear door
Small rust bubbles to rear arches
Small dink to rear quarter & wing (fence panel fell on it)
Scuffs to top of rear bumper (from loading)
Small tear to drivers seat (screwdriver in pocket!)
Larger tear to rear corner panel on seat back by door (don't know what else to call the edge cushion?)
Couple of minor carpark dings, nothing major
Has a tendency to "cough" occasionally, especially when less than 1/4 tank fuel, changed MAF sensor, no difference, haven't got around to looking further into it
 
Is in need of a damn good clean, which I shall attempt to find the time for

Am I missing something or is there a price hidden in there?
