    Dunk, when I get bored with a car I just buy a new set of wheels, keeps me interested for a while longer. Perhaps you could invest in a nice set of Alpina Classics or something.

    Thanks chaps. She certainly is in great nick and theyve spent a bit of time and effort in presenting her well too.

    I got £9k for her and expect it’ll sell around £11k.

    Options wise I believe the original options list totalled £15k which brought it up to a £60k car.

    I’m kicking myself that I left in the rear sun blinds, rubber mats and boot liner but I guess they’ve all added to the resale - if not in value terms for me, the ease of marketing for the px and by the dealer for the on sale.

    I'm sure that it is a very good example and that Spuff has kept it in good nick, but I feel that this car dealer is slightly prone to exaggeration :rolleyes:

    ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE SPEC . . . ABSOLUTELY STUNNING CONDITION THROUGHOUT AND DRIVES LIKE NEW :D

    I agree with the majority of the comments/sentiment, it it is a very unusually specced car. The addition of Comfort Seats, Leather Dash, Alcantara headlining on top of an already good spec does make the car stand out. A full Sytner service history is also unusual at this age and mileage. So whilst I’d never condone the usual dealer guff, it is a very different car and did drive incredibly well when compared against a 3k Miles G31 530d I drove for a fortnight recently.

    Will be a fab car for someone.

    If a 535i, could add, "STUNNING EXAMPLE OF RARE PETROL MODEL". :)

    Well, they DO have to make a profit, pay bonny lasses and provide free coffee [and bickies/snacks at some locations :whistle:] for the punters. :D
