Sold my coupe for....!!!!!

[Vert]

Some of you already know, as I haven't actually told the forum, yet, that I sold my red 318is back in April '05 for 4k.

I sooooo loved the car and soooo loved the red!! It was immaculate with very little marks on it! I had to sell her as I thought best to sell up while I could still fetch a good sum. It's a K reg, with 93,000 on the clock, at the time.

I could talk all day about her but I'll let some of my favourite pictures out of the thousands that I took explain.

New pictures of the new car on my second post in this thread.

Well, here are the pictures, at last!

Had her 3 months now.

Spec:

328 vert
Changed to Alusil
FBMWSH
Electric roof
Tan leather
Digital Climate control/AC
Hardtop
Full genuine M3 bumpers, skirts, steering wheel, etc
Koni adjustable ride comfort and coilovers and Koni springs lowered 60mm all round
Front GT2 Rieger spoiler
Brembo Max grooved front discs, EBC Greenstuff pads all round

Bought her with 52,000 miles, since done 2000 in 3 months


And of course... Genuine Breyton Visions 18s. I picked them up for next to nothing, 2nd hand. Soon going in for a polished refurb. Already bought 4 brand new Pirelli P Zeros. The car had M3 5 spokes when I bought the car but soon changed to these puppies! (I bought this car before Stu bought his Boston Green vert! But he bought his wheels a long time ago.)

I only just turned 22 when I bought her so M3 vert insurance was out of the question. I'd only just turned 20 when I bought my first car, which was the red 318is! You wouldn't think I was a student!!! :twisted: 8)

Mods: All images are only sized 29kb to 63kb each, even the panoramics.

Enjoy!
