New M3 Convertible

[trefor]

There''s a new M3 Convertible parked out my office window. I must say it is very inconspicuous, could be a 318Ci. I know they are a brilliant car, but this one is painted in a terrible bluey colour and the wheels (std I think) are not very nice. I did a poll of the people in the office and the general opinion was ''yuk''. The only ones who went for a drool were the Alpina B10 driver (my boss) and a 328 owner. Come on BMW, you made the Z8 and the X5 which look OK. Do something about the 3 series!

Reg No Y646 NBL by any chance? Rich...

Didn't notice - it was a Y and not a private plate though. Office is South of Guildford.

Just that I guess BMWs press car is a funny sort of French blue with 17" multi-spoke alloy wheels. As per EVO this month.

They're 19 inch wheels on the M3 convertible press car, Rich! Wouldn't like to be buying a set of S03s for that thing... Pete (with baby 15/16" wheels on his Griff)
