Looks lovely that Ian. I didn't think BMW did that colour blue anymore until I saw the same colour this morning. It looked identical to yours but the plate was a private reg on a s reg. It even had the black alloys.

It probably was Monte Carlo blue as I only got a glimpse. Looked nice though.

I was fancying another Cnc machine , if the car sold I'd buy one , not bothered either way

I can supply you my own discs and bells for the front , do those for £350 a pair , when these wear out you can re-use the bells , the standard M3 discs have alloy bells but are pinned into the discs so cannot be split , which is why they are expensive to replace

This car is faster on the open road , not a great deal , I found the E46 easier to drive in the twisties, it was easier the throw about , the gearbox is this one is miles better than the SMG , which I also thought was good , the DCT is amazing

I have the 7 speed dct in my 335i and agree it's awesome. It doesn't seem to stop accelerating when changing gear.
