I know you don’t want a JCW R52, but one just came up near me that has 23,500 km for a wildly low price and looks to be well sorted

Bump.

 

Maybe this year will be the year for you to find this!👍

 

Maybe….I know the cars exist…and have the cash waiting….just can’t find it.

Hi. I have an '04 R53 JCW with just under 15k on the odometer. I just finished taking pictures and next week I plan to scan the records and officially put it up for sale. I'm considering BaT or Cars and Bids but happy to discuss it with you if you will consider a 2004.

 

Hey! I might be interested. Send me a private message with your number and we can discuss. Thanks!

I’m the 2nd owner and have had it about a year and a half. Original owner was a nut job - sheepskin seat covers from first minute, bra on the front, covered it in the garage. I thought the price was fair when I bought it so I didn’t negotiate but the guy still made me interview/audition to get the car. It’s absolutely mint. No paintwork, no scratches. 100% original except for tires.

 

Let's see what you've got... (DM me!)

 

Anybody know this owner? I should have bought this. This is what I am looking for when I say low mileage.

@krawzdogg Have you seen the other thread here on marketplace? His first mini could be an option:

Yes, I’ve been in touch with him. PM me.

 

I’ve been exchanging messages with these guys, and I’m impressed. I really don’t love the Checkmate interior, or I’d have gone for that one right away. It’s a rare and very low miles combo (Checkmate + JCW).

 

Yes I’ve seen the other thread. Both amazing cars! I specifically want a JCW and I’m not the biggest fan of the checkmate styling.

 

For those looking, have you found your low milage R53 JCW? Don't have one to sell, just wondering how the search is coming along for others.

 

Any luck with finding your low milage example yet? Don't have to sell, just wondering how the search is panning out for others.
