Opinions on my AutoTrader Ad PART 2! (YF09PBO)

I'm selling my car and I've listed it on Autotrader. I've included the link below. Could I make it any better?

Missing engine bay photo, apart from that, as post 2 said.

Nice Clean car.

Thanks for the advice everyone, I'll update it tonight. Last but not the least: THE PRICE. £8500, I'm I asking too much when you consider year, condition and mileage?

AT ad will be up for 6 weeks. I'm looking to sell before the ad ends

8500 seems a lot for a 318d tbh.
Not an expert on the model specifically but I've seen higher specced cars with larger engines for not a lot more.

I agree, I think it's price a little high.

Price is tricky:

Too high and nobody will bat an eye lid, too low and people wonder what's wrong. I'd look at what others are going for and either go up a few hundred or 50 below. If you really want it gone then knock 50 off a week.

You have repeated the same phrase on several occasions - "full service history," alloy wheels etc.

Also, if the alloys are in decent condition, I would mention that fact. Likewise with the paintwork. You could refer to the lack of dents, assuming that is true.

If the service history is BMW, or even some of it, this is important.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I'm continually adjusting the ad. It's been 4 days and I haven't received any calls yet.

I've had a good look at the prices, mine is average-priced. I've added the price slightly by around a £100 as mine got MV3's while others don't

I'm considering to put it on eBay bid before my insurance expires. I need gone as my next car is waiting. Any recommendations/opinions?

I've had it up on eBay but had lots of low ballers, took it down. It'll be up on autotrader for another 4 weeks but it won't bother me if it doesn't sell.

Is there anything wrong with the paint on the drivers door, drew my eye to a patchy bit where it meets the lower front wing. This could be a trick of the light, if so and there isn't anything wrong with the paint it might be worth uploading a new pic. That's unless I'm the only one that can see it.

She's back up for sale. One month and not a single call even at £2000 cheaper than what I had it at 5 months ago (but 10k miles more).... is it my luck or something?

Hi...Im sure i saw this ad as I have been looking for an E90 M sport (just bought mine and waiting to collect) but the only things that put me off were

1) Its a 318, I was looking for 320 or 325/330
2) Didnt like the seats, looking for heated leather.

Good luck with the sale, it does look a clean car.

Price is always the issue. I think it's cheap but I would check what webuyanycar would give you. This is a trade price so just ask maybe 10% more privately.

Checked, £5000! I've bought this car Nov 2015 at 44k for £10k (massive mistake I've realised now as I could've gotten something way better and better spec'd for that money). I've changed my mind once again and I'm keeping it...

I feel your pain. This time last year I bought my 2013 e92 320d (albeit with huge spec and very low mileage) for an amount which I can now see similar year 335's for sale, plus if I'd waited until after the Brexit result I would've saved thousands on the exchange rate as I imported from U.K. to Ireland... but I guess that's just part of the risk of buying a massively depreciating asset.
