If not, I would be interested to know why. :driving:
At one point i was juggling 3 possible twin turbo models , this link to one that was for sale 6-8 weeks & i know for a fact £ 15200 would have driven it away :wink: dct , potential issues with adaptive ride & 2 split rear wheels ultimately put me off

Now up for just under £18k at a dealer mate..

I am glad you found a gem for No.10 :D
Yea with 2 split rears & 1 of the 4 adaptive corners already replaced :oops: id have wanted to throw £2k into that car to make it "right" & thoughts of having over £17k in 7yr old 60k 35is with no nav made very queasy :sick2:

Where did you source the exhaust tips from? It's one thing that bugs me about the my e89, I could always get the exhaust on my M// and 3.0si looking nice but not the 35i.

:cry: don't keep a diary :oops: longest have been the first E86 almost a year then each of the 2 ZMRs approx 10 months .
The others have ranged from 3 - 6 months & at times ive ran 1 whilst another Z was on SORN .
Some may see the switch & change as negative , i don't :? i get a lot of enjoyment from searching , finding , buying , sorting , selling & of course driving :driving: appreciate my style may not suit all but works for me :thumbsup:
