Title: BMW now VIC'd
Post by: omegod on 01 September 2011, 19:48:05
Finally managed to get the Bmw 728i sport in for it's VIC check and fought a losing battle with photob*llocks get some equal sized piccies up, to be honest i'm torn between keeping this or the Elite, it's slower and less economical but has a much better ride and feeling of quality, 30k less miles too.

Lesson 1 is never to buy a car to sell that you will want to keep  ::)  Which would you keep out of interest?

It had a nudge at the back by a polo last November and due to the cost of BMW parts it was written off for the sake of a bumper, as it was classed as a cat C once repaired it needs to be inspected to make sure a stolen car is not assuming it's i.d , i.e. a "ringer"

Alpina badged indeed as are the wheels and steering wheel, think the last owner put them on.

The car is an "individual " model which I think is special order spec/trim etc  :-/

Individual, special order trim indeed  :y Adds a fair bit on the price too, and Individual interior is usually on the right side of £2,000  :y
