Arrow Wanted - 2013 F31 Touring Msport- Wanted

Hi,
I thought it's worth posting on here as I'm on the hunt for a 2013 F31 Touring M sport, autotrader and pistonheads have become a daily ritual for me and I've always been someone who prefers to purchase from a enthusiast, the owners forum is the best place to start.

If any members are considering selling or trading in their car to the dealer please do PM me, cash purchase, I would be willing to travel for the right car, for reference I'm based in Guildford in Surrey.

Spec wise a few basics below, it would be great if it was a high spec from factory, ex demo etc

Engine - 2.0d or 328i

Colour - I'm pretty flexible, black, grey white and dark blue, the only colours that aren't for me are silver and red.

Gearbox - I would ideally like a auto but won't rule out a manual.

Milage 50k-100k

I think that covers it, please do get in touch if you are thinking of selling.

Please no ex police cars or CAT A-Z

Many Thanks

Budget increased, open to the following 330D, 328i or a 320D

Please shoot me a pm if you plan to sell/trade in your f31 over the coming weeks, ready to move immediately on the right car, thanks

Thanks for the offer but unfortunately it has to be a f31.

To the other chap that posted earlier today but the message then vanished, I'm glued to autotrader/pistonheads, nothing exciting on there at the moment, with the exception of a white 328i which ticked all the boxes, high spec, 60k miles for sensible money, I was just a day late with the phone call.

Are you able to bide your time and buy from BMW AUC site?
Sadly 328i estates are rare indeed.
Try Car Giant they have 56 F31s in at the moment.
Might be a wise descision to opt for a petrol instead of a diesel owing to the current climate

Thanks for the advice. The 328i does seem to be extremely rare, there was only 1 available nationwide in private sales on autotrader, which happened to be the one that I missed. I'm sure diesels will take a big hit in due course after all the bad press, it may take a while though before it's reflected in the second hand market.

Time wise I need a car sorted by the end of March but in a ideal world the sooner the better.

I did have a scan on bmw auc but most are out of my price range and I'd prefer not to pay a premium from the main dealer.

Maybe I'm fussy, but I'd prefer to purchase from a private individual through the the likes of autotrader/pistonheads, better value for money and will end up with a higher spec car (in theory), rather than something that has been dumped in the auction house and picked up by the car giants of the world.

Unfortunately due to resale values and most buyers wanting security from a dealer, private sellers full stop are becoming rare, mixed with a 328i you'll end up searching for so long you'll be looking at 2014/2015 cars!

I'd look at AUC and haggle, failing that don't rule out diesel, bad press will always be there, but so will the need for mileage munching high mpg fast saloons/estates!

Post an 'idea' of your budget, may get some more attention on here too.

Thanks for getting in touch, I'm all sorted on the f31 front, I finally found my ideal spec which ticks all my boxes, I'm just finalizing the finer details this week.
