The prices of M3's nowadays is silly, i remember when my dad bought his in 2002 for a touch under £46,000. A lot of car for the money.

Dad got his for £32k. 3 years later, before the credit crunch really took hold, a dealership gave him £17k.

And I drove it once

And the way they are limited to 155mph but will do an indicated 165mph is quite funny mind you, his TV worked all the time, yet it is only supposed to work at slow speeds.

It was, except they don't seem to car about anything. The trade in price was the trade in price. Yes it was an '52 plate, but only had £33k miles on and was dateless due to private plate & genuine BMW rear lights.

We've been here before with this discussion

Jambo - does yours have the free 1200mile running in/oil change check service thing done? If not,

The TV's are only ment to work with the handbrake up. Did your Dads have the facelift boot lid?
