I purchased an M3 Evo convertible yesterday! This morning I invested in security for it and then gave it a good clean this afternoon!

First impressions - wow! What a great car to drive. Power delivery is nice and handling very good.

Thanks to those that helped answer some Q's on my other postings!

Thanks all! When looking for the car I didn't limit myself to a colour but I'm glad I got a techno violet.

Agreed Estoril blue is very nice too!

Now my only problem is the limited mileage policy as I'm finding any excuse to go for a drive!

Not an "R" plate by any chance is it?

Looks exactly like my old car

Leather looks in very good nick. My grey leather cracked quite a bit after a couple of years........

It's a "P" '96 - I did feel a little sorry for the guy selling it as he was being made redundant. One of those "reluctant sales". He has also just spent £585 on a new motor and micro switches for the roof, rear tyres, aircon recharged, etc!

The leather is in quite good condition but the drivers seat hasn't been cleaned in ages. I only had some Halford's stuff in the garage and it wasn't quite up to it.

The other thing that is missing is the front spoiler underneath the front bumper? Am I right in thinking they were on all the Evo's?

Lovely looking car.

I've just acquired this 1995 328 Coupe Sport Auto to use as my daily driver.

29,000 miles and one 67 year old lady owner. (My Mum...)

I wouldn't have gone out and chosen an auto, but this car was too good to turn down.

Very nice as a daily driver. Has a good history too then which is always a big bonus. No way am I buying my mothers Toyota Corolla when she sells that! Doesn't matter how reliable she says it has been either!!

A Griff in techno violet eh. Bet that looks a little too tempting!
