Not particularly special apart from LPG. All it needs is the rear spoiler in the bin and a CSI front spoiler.

I actually really like these. Saw one for sale on a car pitch in kent the other day. Was sorely tempted to stop :? If it hadn't been Glacier green I probably would have done.

A while ago there was a 850 on eBay. Went for about £2,5 IIRC so maybe thats a bit overpriced.

I thought it was a little expensive. To me it sounds like he is trying to get the £2k he spent on the LPG back.

I would have said they sell as well as the bigger 850i

I agree, so many electrics and gadgets to it, Id hate to own and something goes wrong, it would take you ages to find the fault, or it would be really costly for a garage to find it for you!

Doesn't matter - i want it!!!!! Lol!!!!

Well worth the money imho!! Driven one???

I would say 95% of 8 series i've seen on ebay have ended not much above 2-3k - they always get pulled or don't reach the reserve.
If some fool genuinly let (a decent) one go at that price, someone got lucky and i wish it was me!!!

If you're gonna cover any miles in it, it'd be well worth paying the extra money for lpg i reckon!!!
