BMW offered me £10,500 for a 57 reg 325i with 39k which I had bought from the same dealership.

I know they're different cars but unfortunately I think 7k is optimistic considering age and mileage

I'm still enjoying the novelty of my new faster car. Sometimes I crap myself because it's so keen to get going now where I had to coax it into moving before.

Glad it worked for you guys too
