Has anyone had any dealings with this company? They seem to specialise in higher performance cars and have a couple of M3's that I'd be interested in.

However, their registered company name is Banc Ltd in Harley Street, London which is just making me slightly suspicious as a search on Companies House shows its a non-trading company.

If it's the same company that has the 2 carbon black cabriolets in stock, forget it. A friend went to look at them at the weekend and they were both in terrible condition. One of them is at least 6k overdue a service! rolleyes Plenty of others about, so you can afford to be picky.

There is a of uncared for M3's out there. Usually kids that can afford the cars but not the servicing ruin the cars for owners later on down the line. Look out for a FBMWSH motor, they are out there and with this economy you should find a bargain! Its worth the wait to find a good'n.

Interesting - it's not the same registered address, but only a couple of doors away.

Something fishy about the whole thing and I'm staying away. As others have said, the good ones are out there if I'm prepared to look long and haard enough... which I am
