Hi,

I've just purchased an 05 M3 Convertible following a couple of years driving a Mk5 R32.

Loving it so far...

Very nice.

Details?

Smg or manual?

Plans for the car?

Pictures, man, pictures.

Same as above; spec, manual or SMG, mileage, history etc.

How does it drive?

Looks nice! Congrats.

If you haven't already. Get the boot floor checked before it's 10th birthday.

Will any BMW dealer do that and I presume they charge you for the exploratory work?

I'd use a specialist to check it out , they tend to be more knowledgeable , try M3 cutters for fuller advice.

Nice car btw ..

Sorry guys, posted in a bit of a rush, so left out all the important stuff!

It's SMG (not as bad as some would have you believe imo!)

Currently at 93k miles. I was looking for one with lower miles ideally, but sometimes you need to buy on gut feel and overall condition rather than being fixated with the miles...

3 previous owners.

Running Continentals all round. Wheels look good in the pic but are quite corroded in the centres so are going to be getting swapped out for some shadow chrome finished ones hopefully...

Subframe unchecked as yet, but aware it's a weak point. Going in to have oil service and subframe check in a couple if weeks. It's a couple if months over 10 years old now so I'm hoping for the best!

Servicing is a mix of specialist and main dealer. The past couple being done at well renowned Ferrari and high end specialist Simon Furlonger.
