Off to look at a 9-3 vert tomorrow in a rather fetching metallic line yellow. I ignored it on my first pass, but the more I look, the more it grows on me.

Seems a bit of a marmite colour - as I only tend to keep cars for about a year interested to know any experience on whether this is a bit of a killer come resale or not - I think it suits the car a lot better than silver!

I'm not buying it for the next person but just interested to know experience of others and if this takes a while to sell or you have found you had to drop the price because of it

Went, saw and bought - sod the resale value - the spec, history and condition was just what I was after, and it looked pretty stunning in the sunshine. Have to wait and see what it looks like with 2inches of snow on a cold winters day - on the plus side I'll never lose my car in a car park again!

Still getting used to that first view when you open the curtains in the morning and Boom! It hits you square between the eyes!!

Really like it - the wife wasn't 100% when I went to look at it but is really liking it now. A couple of bmw fanboys at work are trying to give me grief but they can shove it when the lime metallic doesn't shine!
