Re: Wanted 4.8is

Re: Wanted 4.8is

Looking at the photos of the grey car it seems to have had the air suspension removed
There’s a blanking panel were the air suspension control should be.

Re: Wanted 4.8is

Right colour, but it is high mileage.
Would need to be cheap to cover the risk.
I’m keeping an eye on a couple on EBay, Gumtree and Autotrader

Although the one up at 21k is ideal just a little out of my price range

Wanted 4.8is

Looking for a E53 4.8is is anyone selling
Would prefer a low mileage car and preferably not black
Ideal colour is Imola Red but that maybe dreaming
I owned one a few years ago and despite the issues and costs have missed it.
Let me know what you have

Re: Bc button

Thanks.

Bc button is the one on the end of the indicator stalk that controls the trip computer.

I will check with my warranty company Monday .

You are right it's a stunning car, effortless and powerful and gets a lot of attention.
