ok i am sick of bad luck, lined up a few beemers and they are going bloody fast! i was sorted to be buying one in wales satuday for £12500 but the guy sold it today. If it wasnt 200 miles away and I had the cash in my hand I would of drove down last night!!.
so, i have took 13,000 cash from my bank to keep in my safe and as soon as one comes up i am having it there and then, so long as its honest.
I have been looking for 4 months solid now, and almost bought 2 now, BUT i am holding out for a black one unless prices start to creap up again due to summer
car im after is a e46 323ci or 320ci convertible in black, x reg or newer
all other options are uninportant to me
must be sub 13k
can anyone hunt about and find me one? been on ebay, ad trader, fish 4 cars, autotrader and local garges
if anyone has any other nice sites please post them, or a link to the car
i shall give anyone who helps me a go in it 
cheers

there is a garage near me in Kent, they sold more second hand BMW's last year than the whole BMW group themselves. If they haven't got it they can get it. There site is www.bigmotoringworld.co.uk
They do great deals and know what they are on about.
Hope that helps

feck they have a LOT - but prices are more then what i am looking to pay - will try them again every few days
ideally i want a private sale, someone who is in a rush to sell the car due to financial reasons/moving away/loss licence etc
