Thanks Dan, I'd been looking for ages and had all but given up. I was very lucky to spot this on PH one quiet afternoon at work. It was a couple of hours away so I drove to see it that evening Couple of owners, the last for most of its life, 43k, always garaged and (genuinely!) rot free. I've sympathetically treated it to many litres of Bilth Hamber products so it should stay in fine fettle for many years to come. It now sports bilstein/eibach, full oem exhaust and heated sport leather with all the original stuff kept should anyone one want to put cloth comfort seats back in it!
I have my eye on an E34 M5 I've lusted after for some time so we will see how long I can hold out!
Lucky then!

If you ever do look to sell, keep me posted smile

I’ve lusted after one since my teens & then when Edd fettled one on Wheeler Dealers

My 2015 Estoril Blue M235i.

I stalked AutoTrader for a long time for a well specced example (ProNav, Adaptive Suspension, Adaptive Headlights, CC, Heated Seats, Front/Rear PDC etc) with low miles and from BMW directly (for the Approved Used warranty)!

I have since been incrementally fitting all of the M Performance/M Performance style bits, just the diffuser and exhaust left now... Opted for the AutoID M3/4 style wing mirror caps and eBay spoiler as I wanted gloss black over carbon fibre!

The above is fluffing lovely.

It was this model that changed me from a Serial Audi Buyer. Outstanding piece of kit, enjoy it!

Thanks! hehe

I was initially in the market for an Audi S3 Saloon, but the more I researched the more appealing the M235i became - The test drive confirmed it even more so! Almost 10 months later and I'm still made up with it smile

I think you made the right decision. IMO the Audi is beautiful to look at, but once moving it is a very different story!

Big fan of these. The compact size appeals greatly.

Hey New to forum and also new to BMW so here she is.






3 Series 320d 177bhp with full leather interior etc. Had her 2 weeks now and very pleased with it. There’s a few jobs what need doing so I will look at doing a bit of a progress thread once I get a good look around the forum.

Indeed! Another reason why I opted for this model, I don’t need the practicality of a larger saloon and prefer the compact look! I’ll be sticking with coupes until kids come, which isn’t anytime soon hehe

I'm still waiting for it to land on UK shores I'm afraid. It's coming from Greece (Athens to be exact) and it's a 25 day voyage, plus Easter has delayed things further. It's only a 1602 but it's been fettled with a big valve head, fully lightened and balanced bottom end, Schrick cam, 45's etc. Rev limit is set at 8k and it makes around 170 brake. I have a few plans to sort the interior but mainly it'll just be getting used.





Cobra RSR seats and classic Petri or Prototipo steering wheel are planned.

Was this featured in a Greek performance car magazine a few years ago? If not I'm sure I read about a vaguely similar one in a car mag I picked up from a mate over there...
