Really annoyed about having to put the car up for sale, as only just bought it from a member on here.
The car is great, with a few minor issues in line with its age, mainly paint/scuffs/interior.
It drives faultlessly, and even had a nice motorway run back from Stanstead Airport when I picked it up.
BUT, It turns out I don't like Auto's.
, hence why its up for sale. I cant get used to it. It feels like the car is driving me, rather than me driving the car. Also don't get me started on the emergency stops I've done when gone to press the clutch in.
Just looking to get back what it cost me, hence £350.
See below for link to previous thread, which includes my questions and responses from the previous owner.
retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=FSW&thread=78294&page=2#1101403
MOT expires 01/03/2011
Tax expires the end of the month, but have no problem adding an extra 6 months on for £100 extra.
Quite a bit of history with the car, and I've got the V5 in my name.
Additional bad points - but being Really picky.
Dual Heating is faulty - Passenger side only blows cold. Drivers side only blows hot. Believe this is a common fault and an easy fix due to a valve under the bonnet. (not bothered me as use drivers side when need to demist the car, and passenger side when want cooler air)
Paintwork on bootlid and bonnet is pitted/scratched (No rust)- see pictures
CD/radio will not play CD's, but Radio works fine.
Drivers electric headrest adjust does not work
Drivers armrest is loose, does not lock into position.
Minor rust on drivers side front wheel arch (see pictures)
Scuff between passenger front and rear doors
Good Points:
All electics work, windows/sunroof/central locking/on Board Computer/Display under dials/Cruise Control/Electric Seats/All interior lights/Warnings for handbrake,lights on etc under dials.
Only a minor point, but I always look at the electric rear window to see how many elements are not working. That to me is a measure on how well the car has been looked after. They are all working ;D
Good tread on all tyres.
Couple of pictures below, but a load more added on the following link.

Not really after any swaps unless its a MANUAL 5 series, as have now got the BMW bug.
Thanks for looking, and feel free to get back to me with any questions, additional photo's etc.
Cheers
