Swap for a 2011 "61" 325d M sport auto saloon anyone??

Long shot, but thought I'd give it a go.

I have a White 2011 "61" 325d M sport auto saloon in white with black leather which I bought as an approved BMW from Williams in Stockport on March 1st this year. It's done 53K and has a full BMW service history - bar one service at a specialist. Although badged a 325, it has a detuned 3.0l 6cyl diesel engine with 204bhp and 400 torques so it goes really well whilst easily returning 40+ mpg. A remap would get it to 270bhp ish as it's the same engine as the 330d but with a softer map (info from various BMW forums).

The auto is very good and has paddles on the steering wheel for the manual type bit of fun if you desire. Other spec includes adaptive xenons, heated front seats and pro-navigation with hard drive for audio files, usb in to link with external devices which I use for my i-pod.

There is a current autotrader advert with practically the same car as mine here - IT IS NOT MY CAR or contact details - but you can see exactly what I've got.

I'd use that price as a guide, but I've been looking for a V8 ZT-ZTT for ages and as my circs at work have now changed so I do less mileage, the time has never been better. What I don't want to do is sell my car and have nothing though as it really is a peach, wants for nothing and it's just had a MD service (oil, brake fluid and cabin filter).

In a perfect world I'd come out of the swap with some pennies in the bank from you, and a red or black Mk2 saloon or estate. I see a good Mk2 - 50k miles ish at around £7K to £8K. If it was a bit special - super low miles or maybe supercharged - clearly that would see it as worth more against mine.

If anyone fancies a change to an auto but staying with something with some grunt - I'd love to hear from you.

Cheers.

Dan.
