I love my car =)
318ci SE 2.0
Only has 42k on the clock and it's in mint condition. I took this photo the day after I bought it during a drive on one of my favourite driving routes and I couldn't have been more happy with the purchase I'd just made. Since the photo was taken, I've put the M sport alloys on from my old E46 but they're a bit tatty and I need to get them reconditioned. Hands down the nicest, best handling, most fun car i've ever had the pleasure of driving. Unlike any other car I've had before, I've noticed people staring as I drive past and getting headlight's blinked and horns peeped at me from other BMW drivers.
I'm a collector of fine watches and for years I've been used to people asking me for the time when they really don't need to know the time (some of them have even been wearing a watch of their own) but I've been getting similar activity since owning this car, people start taling to me when I'm waiting in line at the fuel station, people ask me "is that your coupe parked outside" when I'm at the climbing wall and washing it takes twice as long as any other car I've had because people keep stopping to talk to me.
It's not even like it's an M3 or something.

That silver shed used to be my daily driver, first on the log book.
Bought it from Hartwell Audi in Birmingham many moons ago.
Sure? S568EOB?Bought it from Hartwell Audi in Birmingham many moons ago.
I have the original bill of sale in the history... I may double check through it. It's had a private plate on for a while and was owned by someone in Redcar for many years.
As much as I call it a 'shed' it's actually in bloody good condition, it needs nothing, does great mpg and has now been pretty much returned to standard. I'd like something a little more modern as a runabout but I'm not sure if I can bring myself to sell it.
The toy though... it's a little slow and quiet but that will soon change...
My new sensible, practical, economical car looking filthy on a trip to the Lakes. Over the moon with it so far, cost just over 18k brand new with 3 years servicing included and to be honest i am over the moon with it so far. Loads of car for the cash, cost 12k less than my old car and I actually prefer the Skoda!

And the other reason it was bought for.

The reason for the felt tip number plate- When i picked the car up the dealer was so kind as to supply me with a nice new plate for the bike rack, This was left in the boot until i needed it. Well when i did need it last sunday morning it wasnt there.
Looks like the towbar fitters took it out when fitting the bar and lost it, they deny this of course but did offer to supply a new one, anyway I couldnt get one at 7am on a sunday morning so felt tip was the only way to go.

Have i spotted you a couple of times tonight in Concord, washington?
I've been to Chester le street tonight but not Washington.I got a funny look off them as i slowed down on my way past and gawped at the car, probably due to my car having battenburg markings and blue lights. If your on here I was admiring the car lads you hadnt done anything wrong.
