What did I do just bought a b m convertible

[mercmancdi]

Saw it and it was so clean I could not let it go. Its a dec 07 m sport
320i , convertible one owner. Full b m history as was owned by a b m sales manager from new. Imola red with full cream interior. . Last b m I owned was a new x1. Hated it and sold it at 6 mths old. Hope this old girl grows on me. Will put photo up when it arrives.

If they are even fitted as an option

 

[mercmancdi]

Memory seats , massage heated seats
, nice drinks holders in dash. Xenon lights ,Bluetooth with voice activated etc etc. Finding more extras the more I poke.
only home so photos are dark , will get some when roofs down.

Now that is a nice colour combo (yep, even on a Beamer)

Recommend you treat the numerous roof seals to keep them supple and watertight

Ps nice garage!

 

[dry run]

Can I just ask you, how much is a cut and blow dry?

Enjoy

If that beastie is no longer (or maybe no more than a foot longer) than my SLK I'll be cursing!! I did not even look at BM convertibles as I did not know they did a tin top, plus my experience of an M3 Evo with the awful steptronic gearbox 20 years ago put me off them for life!

Not so much of a garage as a shelter for homeless cars for the winter .Lol.

Some will be going shortly.
Yea I have the krytox sitting from my last convertible experience.

not a big b m fan as I said before but for the age this is spotless , and very lively , although it’s not auto but I have 2 big auto oil burners sitting around , I think the owner must have even polished the chassis lol

Judas!

I had a BM as a work hire a few weeks ago. brand new 540. all the bells and whistles. I felt daft figuring out how to even get it started.
Horrible car to drive and most uncomfortable.

That said. I wish you joy with your affair. We do expect some loyalty in the long run to the MB marque.

I think that's one of the nicest 3 series ever made. For me if it had the I6 engine it would be near perfect (for a BMW).

I still have 2 mb at my disposal , just bought this as a little birthday present to myself. It’s a bit more sporty than my trusty old cls although looking
ahead I think the days of the bigger juice drinkers are nearing an end.
Also surprised myself buying petrol as diesel is in my blood since I was driving tk bedfords since I was about 12. Long time ago now.

First day it’s been dry enough to get it out and get the roof down to have a we check over , then 10 minutes later
it started to rain.
