Only problem with the B3 is the amount of money they loose, they hemorage money after a couple of years, always do alright at the start but compared with an M3 at 3, 4 or 5 years old they don't do well at all.
That may change this time round with the M3 being a thirsty V8, the fact an M3 has now turned up on pistonheads at under £34k just shows how difficult the market is for sub 20mpg cars, but it will still loose alot of money. I can't afford to loose that sort of dosh but I do think it is a truly stunning car and that particular one looks stunning!! |

seats look good but too harsh compared with the black - and the white lower dash - all IMO of course! (PS - are they sports seats BTW? The originals are not gonna keep you in place with all that power on board!

Maybe it's due to this particular LCD on which I'm looking the picture, but that color looks exactly like Cream Beige. And yes, that is a nice interior
And the trim looks OEM BMW. Edit: http://www.sytner.co.uk/bmw/sheffiel...le&vhl=246770# Ok, I've verified, it definately is Cream Beige... The only strange thing is that the lower part od the hand brake (e-brake) is also colored in Cream Beige, it's black on my car... |

Seems you can buy quite a bit of Porsche for mid 40k - gonna have to wait until next Spring tho until the 'vert is up for change. Will cost me too much to get rid of it earlier |

The Scirocco was only going to be short term anyway so I don't mind if I have to keep the B3

Now, you can't possibly make a comment like that about a 'special arrangement' and money to a woman and not expect to be asked to expand further. So cough up please. |

No C4Ss they are for wimps haha .... Red E93 get a C2S Or for £50K do you actually realise you are in 911 (996) GT3 Mk. 2 teritory, which any decent 997 C2S will be that through the OPC anyway
Porsche to consider - 911 (997) C2S 911 (996) turbo 911 (996) GT3 Mk. 1 or 2 911 (993) turbo 911 (993) C2S Cayman S Boxster S the new 3.4 is sublime (better than the 986 3.2) and the RS60 looks gorgeous one in OPC Nottingham

Lol you must get bargains too One of my friends is a Size 8!!
Ah, see why he would like a C4S then, mind you I grew up with 60's Alfas Not very responsible at all but fun lol! Oooo I wish my numbers would come up, though the turbo is fab I'd be after a 911 (997) GT3RS in Orange with Black wheels and decals as my daily driver, the rest would be really silly stuff like a V8 Midget, a TVR Cerbera, a Porsche 911 2.7 RS etc. Can only dream!!

I much prefer the looks of the 997 (don't like the 996 headlamp style at all) so think that is the model on my list. Also not too bothered about having the fastest 911 I can! You can never use the speed often anyway and even the carrera S 3.8 is still plenty quick enough with 355 ponies to push it along! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=270267132474 If I was in a position to change now this would be number one on the list! |
