54 Plate 330Ci in Silver Grey, MV II wheels and facelift etc, only 11,000 miles. Spec is pretty much bog standard, but I have my own plans anyway :) and the car was well under book so that makes up for it! I couldn't justify £10k more for a car that had Sat Nav, bluetooth and Xenons so went with this one. First mod - CCFLs! (I know these as angel eyes so please tell me what it stands for!)

Car is completely spotless and as new inside and out - interior even smells brand new and no shinyness. Quite chuffed, pics ASAP!

:)

No sat nav is not a problem, you wont feel guilty when you rip it out for an aftermarket screen.:D

Sounds like you got a good deal though, and ill be the first this time.

[peppernick]

[Mikedav]

Thanks guys!

Exactly... I've been using birdseye view Sat Nav recently, and its miles ahead - got somthing custom planned but Im all about OEM look and feel, will need to research it thoroughly. I like the idea of the hidden HU you posted and a custom moulded Xenarc, something along those lines.

LOL I agree! Will get pictures ASAP. Im happy with the deal, paid £21k and Glasses says that age/spec is worth about £25,500, so can't be bad. Im happy to forgo a few toys for a virtually brand new model. 19" CSL reps, CCFLs (whats it stand for?!), few other tweaks here and there...thats the sort of thing

[M5 SC]

Sounds like a nice car mate.
Enjoy it!!!!
Yeah what does CCFL stand for???

[Mikedav]

Just drove home...

So happy :)

Discovered the car has Xenons and 6CD which is a bonus, as well as what looks like some kind of OEM phone kit between the seats - but it may just be the tray where one would go if Id bought it!

Fantastic car to drive, smooth and refined, lovely engine note....everything I wanted really. And it feels, smells and looks as new - could have driven it off a BMW lot brand new. Even things I was dead set on replacing - the stereo for example - have turned out to be better than expected.

Car is dirty and its dark so will do pictures when I can!

[Mikedav]

Crap! It looks like its got Bluetooth too! I have a bluetooth pass key anyway

[Nickleback]

Crap! It looks like its got Bluetooth too! I have a bluetooth pass key anyway

That's not crap, if it's got bluetooth carkit - then any bluetooth phone will work with it when paired up on the software !! :D :D

LOL I know I was just suprised! All these options are news to me you see, bought it as a 'stock' car. I assume I wouldn't have a passkey and manuals if it wasn't fitted?

I have an SPV 500 so will try and pair it up tomorrow...

[lee330sport]

Better deal than you thought mate. Specially with xenons.[ok

[Mikedav]

...And electric folding mirrors too, GET IN!

Pictures ASAP I promise, it needs a good clean first...
