Car was sold at British Car Auctions in March and described as very good, repainted with original interior.
Less than 90k miles and FSH.
don't know the conversion rate.. but here, in the US.. a local guy has one and has been offered $50K for his.

The conversion rate is largely irrelevant, unless you're a money trader. In terms of local spending power, £1 is roughly equivalent to $1 regardless of the international exchange rate. The difference lies in the position BMW occupies in the automotive hierarchy. While a BMW in the US (and Canada) is a premium marque, in the UK it occupies a niche roughly equivalent to a North American Oldsmobile. When you see "Alpina," it triggers a response in the UK car buyer that is essentially the same as a North American seeing "Hurst Olds". Set your prices accordingly.

I believe in keeping my eyes open, my hands busy, and my mouth shut. I'm currently paid to be an "authority" on assorted computer-related crap, but I've put no more effort (and no less) into that than I have into cooking, travelling, photography, plumbing, creative writing, science, electrical work, music, motorcycle repair, car repair, electronics, and half a dozen other hobby/employment activities that keep me off the streets. If that makes me an "authority" on anything, then so be it, but personally I wouldn't trust anything I write any further than I can throw a fit.
