2008 BMW 650i V8 Sport Individual

Individual LCI spec - it's always impressive to see a car so highly specced that it cost more than the model above it. These options had this 650i knocking on the door of an M6 money-wise, and I applaud the person who ordered it new! Very, very clean indeed. A three-stage paint correction and ceramic coating has been undertaken. The front bumper was repainted to get rid of a smattering of stone chips. A small mark on the roof has been touched in and is almost invisible. With perfect panel gaps and original body paint, the pictures speak for themselves. Stitched nappa leather dashboard is very special to behold and is as-new. Mr12Volt wireless CarPlay / Android auto brings the infotainment up to date. And, although expensive, this particular system is the only one to integrate directly into the fibre-optic system and talk directly to the amplifier for perfect sound quality. That was essential to take advantage of that rare Individual DIRAC audio system. The drive is, in my opinion, flawless. Any squeak or rattle (of which there were few anyway) was addressed. It throws no fault codes, and preventative engine work has been done. The car drives brilliantly. This car was prepared for a 3,500 mile Euro roadtrip: if the M6 hadn't dropped in my lap, it would still be going! A brand new windscreen was fitted. The wheels have been freshly powder-coated and diamond cut. New centre caps and brand new non-run flat tyres (to preserve the ride quality) have been fitted. The driver seat was a little dirty and tired looking, as expected with Champagne leather from 2008. I had it re-coloured to give it the edge once more. Again, the pictures speak a thousand words. In my view, this is immaculate. The car has undergone extensive mechanical rejuvenation over the last few months - within the last couple of thousand miles - the majority of which was carried out at Darren Wood BMW Manchester. Work includes: - Major service. LiquiMoly MolyGen oil, Genuine oil/cabin/air filters, spark plugs, coils, belts, thermostat. - Gearbox bottom end rebuild with Genuine ZF parts: solenoids, bridge seals, dampers, separator plate, oil, filter, etc. - New power steering oil cooler. - New air conditioning condenser. - Alternator/engine mount oil seal replaced - expensive, major job that affects all BMWs with this engine. It causes a major oil leak when not replaced. - In-tank fuel filter (which always gets overlooked). The car comes with soft close doors, Panoramic tilting glass roof with power shade, heated seats, climate control, auto lights and wipers, lane keep assist, head up display, CarPlay/Android Auto. A new OEM windscreen has been fitted, along with fresh Bosch wipers.

Late March 2027 current MOT, and excellent MOT history. The reg is AC54 MAT if you want to check. This is a private plate (obviously the car is 2008), which is included in the sale. KPR 768 as pictured has been removed.

BMW hold the early history online, and I have a printout. Regular maintenance is in the form of paper invoices. Obviously all the recent work is invoiced too.

--------------------------------------------- From Trade Classics: This is a Market Auction listing, meaning we have not visited and photographed the car - instead the seller has supplied the images and written the description. However we’ve done all our usual seller checks, including photo ID that matches the V5, and also actioned a history check on the vehicle - this is a professional check operated by HPi that will highlight if the car has been previously stolen, recorded as being in an accident, or have any outstanding finance - note, this does not include a mileage history check. Viewings are welcomed, so please get in touch with us via the 'contact us' page - we just need to speak to you first on the phone, have you register on the site, and also send in valid photo ID before confirming a suitable time to visit. Like all our auctions, if there's anything you're unsure about, no matter how small, then please first ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bids, as bids can't be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car - the Buyer's Premium is not refundable in any instance, just like a traditional auction house. The car has had a full suspension rebuild and alignment - all arms, ball joints, bushes, etc were replaced front to rear. All completed at Darren Wood BMW. It also benefits from new brake discs and pads - front and rear. The original wheel is in great condition, as is all the switchgear.
