Hmm. Description is very American - tires, hood, fenders - but the guy is in the UK. Car looks to be left hand drive and has a US type rear number plate and no front plate.

But he's in Wiltshire?

Well, there is a large MOD place there but I'd be as suspicious as a very suspicious person myself...

looking at the rear plate it looks american (square) and it looks to be left hand drive - the cars probably in America and would occur import duties to ship it over here

The temperature gauge is also in fahrenheit?

I agree too, it looks like a lhd model.

Apart from that, the feedback this guy has seems okay. If you like it arrange to see it before bidding. You wouldn't buy a car from Autotrader without viewing or a test drive!!

The convertibles rattle and shake like most convertibles and the UK ones have the oil temperature gauge in fahrenheit too. The coupe is the one to have, outstanding engine with the twin vanos and is on a par with a scoob on the twisties. I mean the M3 Evolution of course.
