SCROLL DOWN FOR PICS......

Car is a 528i SE, 6 cylinder manual in Biarritz Blue with only 83.5k miles on the clock. Has full BMW Service History and has just had an Oil Service and rear upper wishbone replaced by BMW (Altwood Tring). Brand new set of 18 inch Alloy Wheels (from the new 7 series) with Toyo Proxes T1-s which have done around 2000 miles.
Car will also have 6 months tax and has around 10 months MOT left.
Needs new front pads and discs but this will either be taken care of before sale or something agreed with new owner. Car has 4 previous owners before me. I am selling as buying 3 series coupe.

spec includes;-
Full Sand coloured leather
Dual Climate Control
Cruise Control
Electric Sunroof
Electric Mirrors
Auto dim rear view Mirror
Rain Sensor Wipers
ON Board Computer
Electric Windows all round
6 CD Changer and 10 speaker Stereo
Headlamp Wash
Electric Rear Blinds and manual side rear window blinds
ABS and ASC
Multi Function Steering Wheel
White rear indicator lenses (from newer model)
White side repeaters (from newer model)

Beautiful car in great condition. Very well looked after and drives like new. BMWs are the only car Thames Valley Police keep in their fleet until 150k miles. Everything else goes way before that.


Anyone seriously interested in the car can email me photographs. No Timewasters please. I am based in Hertfordshire.

you need to upload some pics to a server. i use http://www.imagestation.com/ but theres loads of others.
when you have uploaded them right click on the pic and get the location property then do this ([img]location property [/img])

Si, wheel are from new 7 series...come in 18 amd 19inch...these are the 18s....make a huige difference to the way this car handles....528 has a great chassis but with standard wheels it is very soggy...this has sharpened things up no end and the Toyos give phenomonal grip even in the wet.

Cheers

Si,

I had 17's on it before I got these and even they didn't feel that great.....go for 18s if you are going to bother at all.

I got these from a dealer in esses called Rochford Tyres. Found them on ebay...they do tons of stuff and they knocked a 100 quid off and took my old wheels in p/ex.

If i have no luck selling as is perhaps we can arrange a swap and cash for my wheel against yours....my car is worth this money (just) without the wheels.

what is yours?

This is a MINT Motor.

Now booked into Altwoods on 12th Feb to have new pads and discs fron and new pads rear. Will be Taxed from 1st Feb for 6 month. Thats 3 hundred and 40 squids I'm spending and I'm sellin the bugger. It's a steal.

Come on Folks....roll up. Cheap insurance on this car and still returns 29 MPG! Not as quick as a Scooby but this baby can still hustle on the back roads as well as being a mile muncher on big journeys.
