I understand the owner of this car is on the FB group, but not an active member on here. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this car?

As it’s a one owner from new car you’re probably best speaking to Paul directly. He seems like an honest fellow from what I’ve seen.

Very true Bob. I've been in contact with Paul and will be taking a look at the car this tonight.

I went to see this last night and ended up spending about an hour chatting with Paul whilst looking over the car and taking it out for a drive. It's a stunning looking car in the Alpina blue in person and has been very well looked after.

It also has the 3 zone climate control and electric folding/heated mirrors, which i don't think he mentions in the auction listing.

Thanks for the update. So, the big question, are you tempted? :D

I never thought i'd be that tempted by a saloon - it felt like it would be more of a compromise as i'd always wanted a touring. But i really liked this car and could have happily owned it. For me, the only thing it was missing was the memory seats, it ticked all other boxes. If it wasn't for the F31 appearing on autotrader yesterday, i definitely would have bid on it.

I see that it failed to sell for £19k on ebay a couple of weeks ago, which after seeing it in person, i'm pretty surprised by.
