Can't open the link, what is it?

[Output Flange]

A slightly iffy bronze shade of E46 M3.

[L100NYY]

Oh.

Can't post an image at present but the interior is remarkable.

I like the exterior colour...

Great colours inside and out. Correct wheels and 'box. Shame it's a convertible.

They missed a trick with the black gearlever gaiter! Still have to go some to beat smurf / smurf though

That interior is horrendous. Still, easy enough to swap out - just the seats and doorcards to go to something nicer!

Shame it is a convertible.

My main issue with that M3 is the colour of the wood trim on the dash, wood of any colour is slightly iffy on that era of BMW IMHO!

[Fast Bug]

Germans can't do wood IMO

Assume that’s an individual colour. Don’t think I’ve ever seen one like that before

Yep, Messing Metallic. Looks a lot better in the flesh IMO

I got offered a Phoenix yellow and kiwi in part exchange once. I couldn't get a half sensible bid on it and we didn't want to take the risk of chucking it in to auction

And now it’s the other way around... Try shifting a silver or black E46 M3. Smurf and Imola command silly premiums. I bought my IR in Inverness unseen - hardly had a choice given that it has been the only Coupe for sale since November 2018! Will have to sell my Carbon Black Coupe and the only saving grace is the comprehensive options list and Cinnamon interior...

You know when you're trundling round the motorway and out of the corner of your eye you think you see something cool and usually it's a Toyota Celica with a body kit and you get disappointed? Had a similar thing yesterday on the m25, only no disappointment for a change....



Looks like there was some kind of event at Goodwood yesterday with a few of them there

I (briefly) had a GTV, it was full of surprises like will it be unlocked with the windows wide open in the morning

Ha, that's exactly one of the many issues a friend had with his GTV V6. He loved it though, despite spending thousands on it each year. He has economised now and gone for something which is proving a lot cheaper to maintain - a Maserati 4200 GT!
