Extensive service history which I will detail below
I love this car as it is has incredible boot storage, really nimble gearbox and engine and super comfortable suspension. I also own a e36 and between the 2 of them I can't drive them each enough (I commute to work in a business vehicle so my personal mileage is minimal) so selling both to fund a single car which is my genuine reason for sale, and also moving home soon and wont have as good a parking situation. I cannot express enough how much I feel this is a complete car. Space, Speed, Luxury and Reliability.

The are a few minor grumbles that occur;
The dashboard shows low washer fluid even though the reservoir is full
I've never used the split tailgate before, used it the other day and it takes a couple of goes for it to latch properly
There is only one key that requires manual locking/ unlocking
Has the usual signs of rust

I hope all the above should give you confidence in seeing this is a car that has truly been looked after over the years, including nearly 11k expenditure in the last 5 years. The car has great tyres, mot failure rust sorted and sull service history with a very strong engine that pulls great!
