E46 M3 Wanted!

[600]

Hi All....

Having recently sold my Cerbera, I am looking to buy a used M3.

There are so many to choose from but I cannot find a single one which matches my criteria. Basically, it has to be black with imola red leather, manual transmission, 19" wheels and sat-nav/TV....other than that i'm not bothered about extras. There seems to be loads of black/imola red, but they all seem to be SMG or have 18" wheels...

If anyone knows of a car out there, matching the above....please let me know!

cheers

Will

600 - Mate - I had the exact same thing when I was looking for my car - I wanted a convertible, and I thought a pretty straightforward spec. Black leather, 19's, Sat Nav and TV - that was it! Seemed that every car with nearly the right spec had red leather or 18's, it was always 1 thing not right!

Anyway the reason for my post was that after months of waiting a corker turned up - ex BMW demo car with all the stuff I wanted and more (like folding mirrors, heated seats etc) - and at the right price and mileage.

All I really wanted to say is hang in there and the right car will turn up I'm sure! Just have to keep trawling through Autotrader and the BMW sites...

Being the sad man I am - I had to have a look - there's one on Autotrader - has it gone?

It's black, red leather, 19's (although it doesn't mention them on the spec).

If you can copy and paste this HUGE link it's the bottom car on the page.

Happy hunting.

apparently the 18s make it a much better car to drive but are not quite a posey
(I guess most people buy E46s to pose)

[jbonnett]

What ARE you implying Chippy? Drive a BM and pose in it........surely not...ha ha ha.

Errr....my 'Auto electrician...' post would have nothing to do with posing....
