If only I had a spare 5k its worth buying back at that price

[John D.]

Ooops. How much did you part with it for?

You about tomorrow mate? I might swing by.

[scoobal]

well we swapped and his was up for 6500 but I gave him 500
so still lost some on it.

I'm off roading with Nigel and a few others Chichester way tomo till the afternoon, then work at 7.

[Stedman]

Jesus that's tempting!

[Sods Law]

hmmmm wonder if he will swap 2k my way and a 330ci ?

[hadenough!]

But you paid £500 less for it 2500 miles ago?

random question i know but is the seller in the raf?

[Frik]

If I was in the market and liked the colour I'd bite his hand off. Lovely car.

I am, I swapped the car with current seller for his Impreza. He thought the M3 would be better to insure, but didn't check first. Yes I pad 4500 for it, then spent 600 on an II2 and 1300 on the other work, plus new pads, ipod stereo, speakers, peake code reader etc. A tidy car for the money, and I'm not a party to the current owner.

Why did you get rid of it?

Didn't do it for me. Never got a comfy driving position, bit too much of an all rounder car. Sounds stupid, and I prob am, the scooby is 8 mpg at least worse than M3. I just ain't a BMW guy, skirting the TVR issue I think!

+1, agree with Alex, wish i had kept it now as a daily runner, but not a drivers car for me either.

I had the 318iS and the steering wheel is ofset to the left by an inch or so. Stupid design!

[Frik]

The perfect driving position is there, you just have to spend a while finding it!

Not for me, close enough to have bent arms and knees are on dash, then there is the notchy box, made the Tuscan look smooth.

[Frik]

Al, I'm the same shape as you. How long did you spend looking for it?

[HarryH]

Not that much of a bargain i'd say, its not worth much more than that, if anything i think the price is about right
