**Car now sold and gone, thanks to those who have PM'd me**

So, time to sell; I thought I should post details of the car here first, it isn't on Auto Trader yet but will be if no interest from on here.
I am looking for £12,250 which I feel is a bargain price, please read on!
This is (as per title) a 56 plate 2006 335i SE Coupe, auto transmission. It has done 29,000 miles only and is in genuinely mint condition, see photos below. The car is Titanium Silver, with the usual BMW SE spec (which I won't bore you with here) with factory options as follows:

• Professional Nav with voice control and Bluetooth
• Dakota leather, black
• heated front seats, folding rear seats
• PDC front and rear
• Xenons (might be standard actually?)
• 19 inch Style 230 alloys
• iPod connector in the glovebox

In addition the car has the following mods:

• Birds B3 suspension, with uprated ARB's, new subframe bushes and a Quaife LSD, fitted 2 years and 6000 miles ago
• Alpine sound upgrade, done by Barons in Farnborough
• Evolve Stage 2 tune, complete with ETS intercooler and AR Catted downpipes (no MOT issues, never any warning lights)
• M Sport steering wheel
• M3 strut brace
• BMS dual cone intake, although I have the original OEM airbox and filter, which is included in the sale
• Carbon wrapped interior trim (not the BMW OEM stuff, this is 3M wrap done by forum member Wafik, top job, looks great) - underneath is the brushed aluminium trim should you wish to revert
• Dimisa 4 inch exhaust tips

The tyres are Conti 5P's all round with 5 to 6mm on the rears and 7 to 8mm on the fronts. The car has just had an oil & filter change with fully synthetic oil (that's three changes now in 10,000 miles) and iDrive tells me that nothing needs doing until July 2014 or beyond. Tax expires at the end of May, and the MOT is due at the end of September.
I am the 4th owner, BMW was the first as this was a launch car. Bear in mind I have owned this car for nearly 4 years now. Overall the car is in mint condition, with these minor blemishes (I want to be 100% honest):

• tiny bit of wear on the front seat bolsters
• very small kerb mark on front passenger side wheel, other three wheels are perfect, in fact all 4 have been refurbed by The Wheel Specialist
• tiny stone chips at front, nothing through to the primer though
• front sunglass tray isn't 100% flush due to the wrap, you hardly notice it though

So here's some photos taken last summer. The private plate is not included, it has gone on retention.
Any questions happily answered, PM me if you are interested. I'm based near Fareham, Hants, just off J9 of the M27.

This is a bargain for someone.

IMO the car would sell at that price without all of your extras. You could easily gain another £1k from selling your LSD and birds suspension separately.

This won't be around for long. Fantastic car for someone. GLWS.

Thanks Ste133, yes it is priced to sell. For the avoidance of doubt, I don't want to faff about selling parts separately, just don't have the time or inclination. The car works beautifully as a package IMHO.

LOL no worries. MOT due end of September, tax expires at the end of May, next oil change due Feb 2015, next vehicle inspection due July 2014. Brake pads 20,000 miles +, and tyres good for at least 12,000 I'd say - depends how much of the performance you use!
You could run this car for 18 months or so and it would cost you nothing in service, brakes or tyres.

I can't beleive I took my car in to get new turbos and downpipes on Tuesday. I would have auctiond to get this and prob had money to spare (after the turbos) and a much better list of mods. DOH!!

Having similar thoughts myself mate.

Although I think this will sell before I get chance to put a proper advert up, let alone find a buyer for my car!

[Greg330]

Looks like a great car in wonderful condition!

I don't think it will take long to sell.

[gangzoom]

Good luck with the sale, what you getting next...must be something really good for it to be better than the 335

[Chrisdc144]

Beautiful car and everything I want! As you are aware I am in the market and currently looking for a 335i or d. Will pm you if anything develops, have to have a chat with the wife now!!

Thanks buddy, next car will be different. I want something SUVish, shortlist is X3 or Q5 or Evoque, perhaps a used X5.
My lifestyle is changing a bit (e.g. taxi service for teenage daughter) such that the current car isn't really suitable.
The 335i is so good that I think I'd be disappointed with something similar, unless I went up to C63 level which Mrs MiH wouldn't allow.

PM sent sir! Looks lovely.

Surprised to see this wasn't a message to say; "SOLD"!

Great car you have there. I would wish you good luck, but I don't think you need it

For clarity : PROVISIONALLY SOLD.

[texasjohn]

Does that mean someone's left a deposit?
