I think you will struggle, I tried to sell my one with similar spec, December 2006 car with 30k on the clock at 15 500 and did not have a single offer.

surprising lack of interest for a great car!

It's now on PistonHeads, where it's had a similar lack of interest: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3098675.htm. Oh well, if it doesn't sell I'll just have to keep it!

If you're serious do a premium ad. I had no interest at all with a standard ad as people just never see them!

nowt selling at mo.
My 330i 80k 55 plate, was advertised with a premium ad and reduced to a price that begun with a 6 in last few weeks, and not one bit of interest. times are hard for car sellers.
