Definitely for sells BMW M140i

Post by DaveE »

I've been getting the itch to change cars, and before things get serious, I just thought I'd see if there's any appetite here for my current car

Better to ask now, rather than find out after I P/X it that someone would have been interested

It's a 2019 M140i, 5 door in white with c30k miles

It's in great condition (non-smokers, no kids, no pets etc) and with some choice mods:
  • - Birds fast road suspension kit and geometry
    - Quaife LSD (fitted by Birds)
    - 3 door variant rear subframe brace (fitted by Birds)
    - 4 brand new Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 6s
    - wireless Android Auto & Apple Car Play
    - comes with all original suspension components as well
    - comes with a Bluetooth OBD adapter too
I've said before, but the Birds suspension kit totally transforms the ride and handling from stock, the LSD allows you to hook up and get the power down, and the rear brace just helps tie down the rear end (no idea why they fitted these to the 3 doors, but not the 5s and you'd think the 5 door cars could do with it more than the 3 doors)

Quick check on AutoTrader seems to peg them around mid-£20k mark, but I'd be happy to do a "forum rate" for someone here

Anyone interested, curious, would like more info etc?

I've been offered £21k P/X so if anyone does want it, I'd rather you got it for that price, than I P/X it (knowing a garage is going to add their markup and sell it on)

You'll regret it! My M135i is the only car I regret selling.

I've love to keep it, but having two cars to park on the street isn't really tenable

Ah, I wouldn't feel comfortable parking one on the street.

Looks a great spec that. Would love to say I was interested but can't justify it.

I'm defo not in the market for this, but thought i should highlight that you haven't stated whether it is manuel or non-manuel.

Shirley anyone would be embarassed to admit to an incorrectly-gearboxed manual M140i, so I'm assuming it's an auto, and I want it very much. Sadly not happening though.
You settle up, I'll go get the Jag.

It's an auto (have to say I didn't even realise they made them in Manuel)

That's because it's so much better with the auto 👍

Whaaat! I'm pretty sure the Auto was special order only when in receipt of the Mobility component of PIP! :D

I bet it's great with the Birds kit on 😎

Stick the car details in Cazoo, they may well beat your PX price and in my experience there is no haggling.

Thanks for the tip

I've just got back from visiting the local WeBuyAnyCar place who did an inspection and offered the same as the P/X

Will try Cazoo (it's where the car came from in the first place)
