Hello all,

Looking for the above - would prefer a Touring over a Saloon but not hugely fussed. Not in a massive rush but can do a deal very quickly for the right car.

Would also consider an SE Touring as I know manual Tourings are a rare beast

Cheers.

Budget?

fatfrog · 02-22-2013, 01:12 PM

Budget up to around £12-13K for a stock car and a bit more for something modified. Missed out on a black Touring at BMW Derby which was up for £12,800 with around 58k miles - rightly or wrongly I've been using this as a gauge for private cars which seem overpriced by comparison.

Would love this but not sure I could get used to the active steering:

Not driven a car with active steering so can't offer an opinion on that.

Price can be massively affected by spec on these cars. An 07 plate struggled last year and finally went after dropping to 9995. It was mint (I saw and drove it) and had only 34000 miles and one owner from new.

It was an SE with xenons, 18s, pro loudspeaker and electric sports seats but no leather and no nav.

A bit of an odd spec but obviously held appeal for the owner.

I've been moaning about it ever since because I took too long to decide I wanted it!
