I bought this in October 2022 and as some might have seen in another thread never really got on 100% with it. Maybe I have bought the wrong car or are getting old but just finding it a little too sporty for my needs. It seems a perfectly good and capable car to me, drives really well so does so much so well. I've had a few W211 E55K Estates before and really liked the blend of comfort and sportiness. I just think the W213 E43 is a little step too far for me towards the sporty nature of the car and am looking for something a little more comfort orientated.
It came with the optional 20" alloys but I have bought in a set of the stock 19" E43 alloys that are currently on the car. I still have the original 20" alloys but changed these to 19" alloys to look to improve the ride comfort. It did improve it but not by too much in my opinion. The rear tyres on the 20's are shot so would need replacing if used but the fronts were OK. The 19" rear tyres had plenty of tread on them and the front alloys and tyres were brand new. The car could be sold with both sets that might give someone some options for a winter tyre set or either the 19" or 20" so open to suggestions.
It is a 2017/17 plate and the Premium Plus spec. It has all the spec I was looking for in the right colour combination of Obsidian Black Metallic with Black Nappa Leather interior. The spec is quite extensive with all the sought after spec/options many seem to value and seek out:

I'm just going to give it a nice wash and take some new pictures but will add the original ones for when I bought it to kick off with. There was a Warranty Wise warranty on the car when I bought it that has now expired but it could be extended if required as they keep calling me to renew it with amazing discounts!
The car is located near Hatfield, Hertfordshire. I thought I would offer it in here first before I put an Ebay or AT ad up. Not sure on what the price should be to be honest. I know what I paid and know I'm likely to take a fair hit on it so was thinking of putting an add up with a price of £25995. Happy to listen to any thoughts or offers. There are 8 on AT from £28995 upwards. There are 2 on Ebay from £32930 upwards and none on PH.
Any questions please feel free to ask away.
