tis silly money alright. And the wheels could do with another 2", but I think tis well tasty too, Mick. Was briefly in a 850i - V12 didn't do it for me, and tis tight enough inside, but they are cool. ------------- Mazda 6 MPS S1 Elise 135 Sport Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon http://www.bmwcarclubireland.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-3254">

After checking with the VRT site,you could have the car from Autotrader home for 29k. Thats a big difference.
Plus the car in AT has a full BMWSH which isn't mentioned on Carzone. ------------- Richie

I agree. Plenty of nice ones across the pond for a lot smaller money than that one! ------------- |

And considering the carzone one has just come in from the UK (tax disc holder only) there's a handy 10k profit in the deal for the seller ------------- |

I know that dealer and he has had that car quite a while. It started out at another dealer first though. My cousin is going to sell his 97 840CI sport and I think he is only looking for euro 22k. ------------- Andrew Butler |

The price of an 8 series depends on what condition it is in.
It might be priced high but those types of cars usually are because someone
that wants one will pay for a good example. I would say you will get €35k in ------------- http://www.kinmak.com - KinMak.com - http://www.elara.ie - Elara Online |
