Ive, as many of you, have always wanted one of these but couldnt live with the stripped version and when this one came up for sale it was just too good to pass up. Its got electric windows, electric sunroof and comfort seats courtesy of the original owner. So he paid loads more for a stripped CS then paid even more money to have a few bits put back in.
The car has been looked after very well, I had the previous owners details sent to me and the garages that had looked after it and they knew the car. The previos owner had spent rediculous amounts of money on 3 services within about 500 miles. Its got the Promax stage 2 engine management system which really does improve the torque and power.
I cant believe how drivable it is with a very smooth gear change and can be driven round town in 6th at 30mph yet can do over 70mph in 2nd and thanks to the engine management the rev limit has been raised to 7,700rpm.
Im not a fan of white cars but this really does appeal to me, there isnt a single stone chip on the car and has a faultless interior.
The back end comes out very easy but it really does boost your confidence as it is so easy to control!!

That looks great! I've got a yellow CS myself which I've had for nearly 5 years and it's been a superb car.

How many miles has yours done?

Yeah I wasn't sure about the yellow at first but really like it now and reckon it suits the car well.

Enjoy!

Mike.

I love these, have thought about one instead of my e30 m3.

How does it compare to your e30? I always assumed they would be a similar beast, but then assumption in the mother of all f ups!!!

Is that the Cat D one for sale in Scotland recently? I tried to get hold of the seller for ages before finding another.

That's the one, were you the fella that offered more for the car tut tut?
I can't believe such a car could be cat d for the damage caused - new rear bumper and n/s/r light.
Jamie did all the investigation work I was going to do, it's been on a car-o-liner with printout showing spot on. It's had all the panels off and visually check (my guy has had the rear end apart and says it's faultless - keeping in mind he builds/repairs E30 M3 for britcars)
I did say to jamie he could have sold it for more if the advert was a lot better and the cat d was explained in depth plus gone into the fact the car is so good - he said he wasn't really bothered about selling it so didn't make the effort.

No, never even saw it. Tried to email and call, but never got a call back, bit disappointed in the seller really. Had cash waiting and bought another in the end anyway and I'm very very happy too!

I had the same issue mate, he did tell me he had a problem with his phone but no idea about the email.
Got to say he's the best seller i've ever dealt with. He's a real nice, genuine guy and a man of his word. How many people would accept more money for a car after it's sold (but no deposit) - were not talking an extra £100 either.

I saw this up at Hopetoun House Italian car and bike day, parked in the car park and it stole the show for me.

It's an absolute belter.

Spoke to Jamie about it just after and if i had been in a better position financially it would be me posting this thread up! Hope you look after her or i'll be coming to hunt you down biggrin

I'll definately be looking after it. I've been at my mates using his steam cleaner on all the carpets, door shuts and boot shuts. They were mint anyway but I'd be bored otherwise.
There really is nothing to do on the car other than drive it.
I went to my parents yesterday and my wife met me there. Got her to listen as I blasted passed her like a big kid!!! She just shook her head.
