Looks good and has plenty of history, the vented seats are a 'cool' option, I'd love that on a car again.

Has this had a B5S upgrade? I'm not sure, but I thought the ribbed flexi-hose between the air scoop and the 'charger was one of the visual differences. Or is it just that it had a replacement 'charger?

It sure the flexi pipe is a sign of the “S” upgrade. It hasn’t got the newer style gearshift though.

This one is nice and as you say well priced. Was there are facelift in 2006 or 2007?

The E6x LCI was Sep-07. The first (and only I think) UK LCI B5 was #365 and then all the B5S’ were LCI

Sorry Phil, do you mean the flexi pipe is an S upgrade?

Sorry I miss typed. I meant to say not sure if it is a sign of the upgrade. But as it has the older style gear selector I would guess it hasn’t. The hose may just of been a replacement.
Also it doesn’t have the sport button for the adaptive dampers that are fitted on the B5/6S.

Another price drop? On AT. :D Someone should snap this up - the paperwork in the pics looks spot on.

Correct oil filters used, A good sign
I wonder if it’s on its original Supercharger??
Good buy for somebody if the supercharger has been replaced

I really like this - looks fantastic condition and great history.

What's the general lifespan of the supercharger and the costs to replace?

Does look like a great car.

For info on S/C replacement costs. - Super charger on #10 e61 was changed at 10k under warranty then that ran through to 118k, where upon i sent a spare charger I had (which came out of a B6 - 36k engine and had itself failed and been replaced under warranty) to the Hungarian chap laszlo. He refurbed it fully for £1800. New seals bearings shaft impellors etc.. no problems now and done about 3k on it. Some of the parts i had back were rather erm.. worn a bit !
So not the end of the world to get sorted. And if i recall reading they do have a lifespan so preventative maintenance better than a lunched engine !
