Anyone with a Manual M3 E46 in the North West?

Im thinking of buying one but would like to meet a owner and to have a look around the car and get a general feel for the car.

Im looking to buy one as a weekend only car.

My perference is manual, options are welcomed, but more than anything would like to see good examples.

Thanks

Funny, when I bought my car 4 years ago I was able to test drive 3 manual cars through private advertisers. I didn't like the length of the throw on the gear stick and eventually had to go to the dealer to try out the SMG.

Are you looking for an owner of a manual coupe in the NW to buy from them or are you wanting to view a manual coupe owned by a PH in the NW before you start looking?

I'm in the NW and if its the latter, you are welcome to call over to my workshop for a chat and a look if that helps?
