I'm looking for £7250 ono

I will condsider a very cheap px but it must have a long test

Please PM me if you are interested.

I've had it a year and I love it, but alas I am reaching a time in my life where I just cannot afford to run such a big car anymore. I'm currently saving to buy a new house and there may well be children on the way in the not too distant future. 26mpg, tyres over £100 a corner and the other costs associated with an E39 are just too much at the moment.

Not decided exactly what is going to replace her yet, but it will be smaller and not a BMW. Parts prices and general servicing costs are just too expensive, for the moment at least.

Yes it is a manual.

Second pic was taken just outside of a town called Saltburn. The trees behind are Errington woods. It's actually on a track just of a roundabout that runs up to a farm. I took it on the way to work one day.

TBH the practicallity isn't really an issue. The replacement isn't necessarilly going to have 4 doors and is probabaly not going to be a diesel. It will definatley not be a people carrier. However it will be cheaper to buy, cheaper to insure, get better MPG and be a car that is either cheaper to service, or one I can service myself. Either way I expect to save around £100 a month on running costs/fuel and about £50 a month on finance. The extra cash will make all the difference when going for a new house.

Mind you speaking of practicallity the E39 isn't exactly ideal anyway. The lack of folding rear seats means that my wifes focus, despite being considerably smaller is 10X more practical.
