The car drives really well, makes a great noise and always gets attention wherever it goes. It has wanted nothing and no expense has been spared during my 6 years of ownership. Has got an extensive history file that is full of receipts.
Being a 33 year old car there are a few things that could be improved. There are some marks on the paint work. These things do not affect the overal look of the car.
More than happy to provide more photos detailing certain parts or answer any questions you may have. I am the third owner from new but fourth registered keeper - from what I can tell the original owner had it new as a company car and then bought it after this period. This was sold to my friend (another BMW enthusiast) back in ~2013 and then onto me in 2017 where I have owned it since. He sold it to me as he knew it would go to a good home and be well looked after, which it has. It is genuinely one of the best cars I have owned and it is pleasure to drive - comforatable and effortless to be in. I have done many road trips in it and it awlays brings a smile - around Scotland, Germany, Bruges and around Yorkshire. I have enjoyed taking it to shows where it gets lots of attention. I really like the looks of it and how timeless it has become.
