I was lucky selling the BMW that the experience nicely rounded off a great ownership time. First guy to get in touch was very genuine and that meant I could bat away all the calls that immediately followed until he'd seen it.
He and his dad arrived from Bristol promptly am and they were a great couple of guys to chat to. Went over the car looking at the things they should have as if they'd just read the "what to look for buying a used E39" guide. Fine by me as it was spot on. I did the first part of the test run in a brisk but safe and comfortable manner and they were gobsmacked by its swift rural main road ability. Son then did the drive back checking the clutch on several starts and brakes on a hard emergency stop from speed. He was struggling to hide his delight as we got back.
He only offered £100 under asking so no point in haggling further. He taxed it online there and then insisting on showing me that was done before driving off.
Yep a really nice couple of guys.
