It took me ages to re-find this post, so you definitely owe me a virtual beer.

Have a look there, I'm sure youll agree the quality of the upholstery is 10/10. I really have no idea how he got all that done for 900quid, but he has all the details listed in thread - perhaps theyll have a lead on porsche patterns too?

Kindest,

Stu

Changing the leather on that M3 was a MUCH easier job than changing the colour of a Savannah interior 996, which has Savannah carpets, dash, seat backs and entire door trim (not just inserts). Just changing the carpet and removing, re-trimming and re-fitting the dashboard would take ages - you really would be much better finding another car with a colur you like instead. The only other option would be to do a deal with a breakers to buy a black (for example) complete interior, change it all yourself and sell your savannah one back to them - would still think the cost is prohibitive though.

I love you, now go and get a life you jealous troll wavey
Nice swerve - back to your Full BMW service history ... its not even a complete history. I'm glad to see you got the handling sorted out, I just wonder why there's no mention of this in your advert - surely this will help you sell it ?

By the way this isn't trolling it's establishing facts.

Are you stupid or what? Do you honestly think that everyone puts every problem they have had on their car on an advert even though they have been rectified?

WHO DOES THAT?

You really are a class A numpty mate, you really are.

As for my mate, he knows everything about my car from the buying cycle to where I am now, as we are mates and talk about it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you should troll back to the M3 forum and keep dreaming buddy - wtf are you doing on the porsche forum posting on my thread - trolling thats what.

Go and get a life / girlfriend, you really need a blowjob to give you a bit of perspective about how great life can be outside your nerdy internet world.

Get real buddy, get real.

Car enthusiasts, as a rule, state common recalls / faults fixes so other enthusiasts will buy their car. Obviously by not listing them buyers assume they haven't been put right this with gaps in a "full BMW service history".

The personal insults do nothing to detract from the fact you are misleading people. I just find this amusing after your interference in another thread where an individual was being careful about his purchase - some may say too careful but when you see adverts like yours maybe it pays to err on the side of caution don't you think ?

Lastly if I'd just had a recent well known problem fixed on my car and spent money in the last few weeks then I'd list this in the advert. However, as its not there and you bought the car only 6 or so weeks ago that would suggest there's something wrong imo or there never was when you had traction issues and this was purely down to your driving skill (or lack of).

Mate you are boring me - leave me alone - go and look on autotrader and see what I say is true. Half the numpties who buy cars will panic as soon as they hear ANYTHING has ever gone wrong with a motor, even if its been rectified. Yes fine if my car was going to enthusiasts, but 90% of the time it doesn't.

Really invest some time outside the world of the internet - its really enlightening.

No hard feelings, just accept we don't see eye-to-eye on this.

Back to topic. IMO, £27k is way, way too much for that car. You will get monumentally shafted on re-sale (plus it looks horrible with its tacky Halfords stereo etc).

If I were you, I would swerve away from that one......

good website, but many cars are sold so they need to smarten up on chasing sellers.

Is that your car Chris? - looks awesome smile
No but could be, mine is identical in appearance though is a C2. Seriously, if you're tempted I could be seperated from it as I quite fancy a targa... evil
Couple of questions - does it have black interior and is it a manual / tip?

How much you looking for it ?

Do you fancy a M3 meantime ?
YHM smile
