Description
One of the best examples you will see of an F40 M135i xDrive. Don't buy the new F44 - it's hideous (and slower).
Owned from new, genuinely gutted to be selling; I will be working abroad for a few years and as much as I'd love to put it under a cover until I got back, cars like this are meant to be driven.
Yes, it does look as good in real life as it does in the pictures. I am massively OCD so have habitually used seat covers and wear gloves when driving (I hate shiny steering wheels). My family think I'm weird, but the seats look like they are straight from the factory and the steering wheel barely used, so I couldn't really care. The car has only ever been hand washed (two buckets...) with softened water. It had the Auto Glym Lifeshine ceramic treatment applied at the dealership which I don't really rate but some of you might like that.
Obviously, there are some signs of wear if you look closely (it's a 4.5 year old car for Pete's sake) such as a few stone chips and very minor marks to the alloys. 90% of the miles are from the motorway (look at the Factory average speed and MPG for evidence) so it's had an easy life. Major service last year (main dealer always) so another not needed until 2026, however it will probably need new front brake pads at its Jul MOT (the routine 40,000 change interval for fronts is coming up but the wear indicator has not activated yet, so you decide).
Tires last changed 4 months ago so almost new. They are Continental All Season Contact 2 and I think they are phenomenal. I also think you'd be mad not to use all seasons in the UK and if you really think you need Pilot Sports for His Majesty's private race track, then you are probably driving pretty stupidly.
Car specced close to the max (see below); I would challenge you to find a model on sale that has more add-ons.
