Description

21/ 01/ 25 - New F10 M5 Illuminated Gearknob fitted @ 114, 656 miles

The car is totally standard other than the 2. 5 mod back box, CT Carbon front splitters & Mirror Caps, alcantara steering wheel (Royal Steering Wheels), F10 M5 illuminated Gearknob & Powerflex Engine Mounts. The bodywork is in good condition but does have some age related marks. The roof lacquer has started to go in a few spots so this is probably the next job for the car. There are a couple of items on the MOT also that are advisories and relatively inexpensive to fix but would be ideal for the next owner to upgrade those parts (Braided brake lines and lowering springs).

She's due a service which I will book in and carry out as soon as possible.

Payment by bank transfer only, cleared funds before vehicle is driven away. Test drives will be carried out by myself. I am based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. I bought this car initially becuase it's had all of the maintenance carried out that you would want when purchasing an E9X M3, and I wanted a red one! There are not many Red ones available & Melbourne Red is the only metallic red available.

Rod bearings & Throttle Actuators + being a manual, it also had a new Clutch and Flywheel at the same time. Mechanically, the car is a lot younger than it's 2008 birth.

It has some well-known OEM + modifications such as F10 M5 Illuminated Gearknob fitted & ModStock 2. 5 exhaust mod.
