It's time I found my VX mojo again and I can't afford to run two cars. I therefore need to get rid of the E60 and put myself behind the wheel of a Tubby or VXR. I'll be advertising the E60 within the next couple of weeks and should get around £12500 going by what other similar age/mileage/condition/models are actually selling for. It's just tipped over 41k miles, has a full service history (almost all BMW), bluetooth, iPod connection and the odds and sods these things come with (although no integrated SatNav). It's big, comfortable, very well built, fast for a big, car and considering it does 0-60 in about 6.5, it's economical too (at 40+mpg average). Erm... So, it's a long shot that anyone on the VX220 forum would be interested in a fast, relatively economical but near enough opposite of a VX but it's surely worth asking. For the right car, I could probably lay my hands on some funds to make up the difference between mine and a VXR but I'm open to PX ideas and offers. Anyone?

Saloon or wagon?

It's the saloon. The wagon is the E61. Should have posted a better photo!

Shame you're in Edinburgh.... Otherwise I may have been interested in the BMW. You can't have my VX though

[Dunk]

Ha ha.

Well, I'll be down Birmingham way on 12th October. Meet you half way?

We have the E61 model of this (estate!) beautiful car really nicely engineered. Would recommend one of these for anyone after a family tank with a bit of luxury.

Yep, exactly! It's a good blend for a family car. That's why we got it. MrsG is getting the family car now though through her company, so it looks like I can go back to something fun and VX-shaped!

Hi Steve - it's a 2006 (56 plate, registered Dec '06). I've got it on a private plate at the moment (the plate was a present...not my idea).

I'll take some more photos when it's not lashing down with rain. Like most of the rest of the country, it's been weather here for the past couple of days. Woke up to thunder and lightning this morning!
