Im just not looking forward to it being relatively new compared to some people i have done less cars i also try to stay away from the BMWs other than minis and anything complicated 4x4 wise. Should have listened to my own advice about sticking to what i know. BMW collected yesterday: Drivers door dosent lock. Seat belt dosent recognize its plugged in Airbag light comes on. and the car is all over the place under full throttle. Other than that its a nice car and a lot of fun to drive.

With great luck! Funnily enough last weekend I sold one, just under £6K, within 4 hours of advertising. My quickest sale (not the phone call, the actual money in hand) on a car advertised publicly was under 20 minutes on a £300 p/x Avensis estate. I’ll point out last weekend was a pure fluke, if they go within a fortnight I’m doing cartwheels, some I have for months and the occasional one gets to blow out a candle on its birthday cake.

To do the job properly to fit the occupancy sensor it is seat out, cloth or leather off it and replace Matt, proper pita job, done it once don’t fancy doing it again, much easier to get a plug in emulator from eBay which just plugs in under the seat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
