In one pic the leather is grey. In another it's black!

2 different cars!

And if that £14k, I've been robbed for mine!!

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true!  >:(

At that price im buying it for spares!!!

Higher spec than mine or 535dboy's which is for sale.  (shameless plug and please pm me for my bank details ;) )

tried to have a closer look at the pics and im not convinced that it isnt just a 3.0d in the pics.

seller has no feedback........would not even give this one the time of day

There's a lot of this about lately. The seller also had no previous eBay reviews so seemed obvious he was a fraud!  However some of these seem so genuine they will even trap a seasoned buyer as my mate is one of the biggest wheeler dealers in the area and even he almost swallowed a similar scam on a 5 series
