It may be with the 30 or so already sneaking into the compound at Manheim Auctions Leeds!
Probably your best choice of 1-5 year old genuine cars,nice mix of models/spec & well presented.
The next BMW Financial Services sale is 12 August, usually upwards 80 cars & you don't have to be a dealer!
Get your Parkers price guide dusted off!!
Up North prices too! (not sure if thats good or bad that week though!)

"Get your Parkers price guide dusted off!!"

Er, I like Parkers - it's heaps better than the What Car guide - but if I was after a nearly new BMW I would have to find a friend in the trade with a Glass's or CAP Black Book to be sure of a realistic guide price.

I don't know how Glass's and CAP differ these days but CAP used to be best for buying and Glass's for selling, especially where it was necessary to show a seller/buyer the book price for himself.
