Saw an 'individual' velvet blue one with champagne leather and 59K on the clock for £9950 last year. That seemed like a much more sought after spec without too much more mileage for a lot less money.

I'm tentatively looking at E36 M3 Evos - currently doing my research. I'd like a low miler - 40K ish, but I've previously seen one for about £2.5K less than that. To my mind Estoril blue with light grey leather isn't a particularly desirable colour combination either. There's loads like that around and the light grey leather comes with a grey interior (dashboard, door cards, etc.) which I don't think look very nice. I'd much rather have a black interior with a contrasting leather. The 'individual' spec cars with black interior and champagne leather either in Velvet Blue or Atlantis Blue look best to me. My current E36 is Techno Violet with black leather which I also love. I do like Estoril Blue, but I'd rather have it with black leather which I think looks much better, but is a much less common combination. I'm in no rush so I'll just wait until something grabs me so hard that I simply can't resist it.
