Nice B5 in auction, going by the ad the seller has a B5 GT incoming.

Want….

Are the front seats different leather to the rears?

The front seats are ventilated so they are perforated.

Would anyone like to guess what this is worth? It ticks a lot of boxes for me (apart from the black interior).

How fragile is the engine in the pre-LCI G31? I believe Grumpyjohn1957 had a replacement engine fitted under warranty.

[440]

Yes please!! Not a fan of black interiors but the V8 will make me forget about that. Engine bay could do with a wash, specially if you're trying to sell it. Saying that, I'll check my engine bay tomorrow.

What verbose nonsense - based on the 540i? Making way for a GT? Framing blue callipers? White decals? Push to start? Utter tripe.
It’s a lovely car though!

Or even calipers!

#540 sold a couple of months ago for £61640 on CC - that was 2020 and 36000 miles.
I would be surprised if this went for more than £55000 given the mileage and age, but I keep being surprised!
Of course it could be making way for a used GT - I was thinking of a new one.

Surely 2 years older and double the mileage equates to over £10k less. I around the £50k mark would be reasonable The condition on this isn’t brilliant, quite a few stone chips and a serious detailing needed.

Already at £51k (so £54.6k after commission) with 2 days to go. The main chap at Bramleys is bidding and they love their green cars and alpinas. Seems strong considering the one that sold last month for £61k (that included coms) was two years newer and less than half the mileage. None to choose from though and lovely looking car . My dream

All the fives for a 5

Did anyone see who it went to?

[Grumpyjohn1957]

??850 & Simon Gregg both hit their auto bid limits at £55k.
