E46 M3 SMG2 Cab

[Frenchda]

Starting the process now of streamlining the garage!
Chim is off for a service then will be sold, Astra comes off lease in Feb.
I am thinking of an E46 M3 SMG cab. Anyone have one or have any good advice?

Prices seem remarkably close to coupes I've noticed (which themselves are getting cheap!).

Not seriously I'm afraid. More idle browsing/day dreaming. I do quite fancy one at some point.

Been having a little browse as a guy at work recently crashed his SMG Cab and now wants a manual, suprise suprise I have been instructed to find a good "manuel" Coupe with the H&K sound system etc with under 60K miles (upto a 15K budget)

JD said they are relatively similar in price for equivelent mileage, usually within £500ish of each other.

Pretty good buyer prices around at the moment....


I did suggest a Cerb to him but guess what ! .... he's already crashed a TVR (Wedge) so that was discarded immediately.

Got £16K for mine (cab), utter minter, 2 owners inc me 05 plate silver black int, mint CSL genuine wheels 35k miles on the clock, I bought it from Sytner Sunningdale...Should have kept it
