Where to find late/LCI F31 Touring?

Post by churchie386 » Wed Jun 19, 2019 10:41 pm

I am looking to buy a late/LCI F31 Touring, D3 or B3. Tourings seem very thin on the ground. I'm looking on Autotrader, Pistonheads, BMW Approved, Sytners, ...

Where is the best place to find one? Anyone here selling one soon?

Check the usual sites: AT, PH, eBay, Facebook Groups, Auctions (eg BCA & Manheim), speak to Sytner & register interest

The only 2016 or later F31 B3/D3 I've seen currently for sale, is this one which is accident damage, repaired and based on the pre-repair images it is probably a CAT S.

Where are the pre-repaired images? (not that I'm considering that particular vehicle)

It was previously offered on eBay as a salvage car but after the seller failed to find a buyer they repaired and are trying again. This is the only one i have saved.

The black car, #126, in Wakefield is an LCI. It's a 65 plate. When I viewed the car, it seemed OK to me. The alloys have been refurbished, but to my eyes, the powdercoat job isn't the best. I'd want them redone properly. There is a large(ish) chip on the front end that needs painting. The paint has had a machine polish job with, no doubt, a load of filler polish. It looks better in the showroom than it does in the ebay pics. I suspect that a couple of washes down the line, the old swirls and marks would come through. Nothing a couple of days with a machine polisher couldn't sort.

Overall, a nice car. A little spec light, but there should be a deal to be done, given the length of time it's been in stock.

No, nothing, sorry. Looks like a decent spec though and as Matt says, looks good, if a little safe being Black on Black.

A member from one of the FB Alpina groups has a 2016 LCI D3 which he is selling, he is planning to offer it SOR through Sytner's i believe.

Looks a nice spec too: Mediterranean Blue with Oyster, 18k miles, LSD, H/K, Head Up Display and Alcantara trim
