thats ok m8 LOL

That garage have just called me. I said i was looking to spend around 8500 on a car like that. They must be keen to sell asap. bit strange how they would call to see if i was still interested after a couple of days.

What do u think guys? stay away, or buy and pray?

Yeah that would be the one your talking about. It was a N reg 4 door in green. The salesman said he had only had it a few days, i knew he was talking out his a*s cos i phoned about this one about 2 months ago. The ticking noise did fade out after it was started.

I might make an offer then around 8500. Should i be put of by the 100k milage? They did say if anything went wrong within 6 months they would fix it.

A freind of mine recently bought a 944 from the same dealer. The price was slighlty over the top too but the car was immaculate, plus they resolved his minor quibbles without question. They were very helpful & had lots of other tasty cars in there.

One of the cars was a four door 3.0 M3 about 4 months ago I think. If I remember correctly it was on an 'N' plate. If it's the same one, they're obviously having trouble shifting it so that's your cue to make a cheeky offer. It looked good though.

My 3.0 coupe with similar makes the same light tapping noise on start up but it dissapears as soon as it starts to warm up. It also did it after a Sytner inspection 1 so I wouldn't worry about it as long as it does go away when warm.

Good luck.

Paul

The first M3 GT's were only available in British Racing Green

The second lot in Red.

Senny

Just checked the website and could only find a 4 door Evo in green with 68000 miles at £12,995.

A search on BMW.co.uk has found a '96 dakar yellow evo with 110k at £12,995. Bit pricey but would be BM warranty.

Try this link to MRR http://users.autoexposure.co.uk/mrrindependent/

Or try exchangeandmart.co.uk.

What in an ideal world is it that you'd buy(price,colour,style,engine)?

Yeah that would be the place! I would prefer a coupe with milage around 80k. I prefer the seats in the coupe's.

But thanks for letting me know about that place

is james paul the place built on a triangle shaped island in the road ?

 if it is i wanted to buy an 850 from them a year ago , it was red , it had had bodywork and was rustng in places , it was up for nearly ten grand so i offered em £8900 fo allow for the bodywork and getting the wheels refurbed , they didnt wanna no and said the best they could do was £9500 ,   which wasnt nearly low enuff .

   also my m8 bought a black 328 motorsport  from em , which he ended up not liking and took it back to em 10 days later to see  if  he could swap it for an m3 they had for the same price ,  they offerd him 8 grand for it  even tho he paid 13 grand  ten days b4 !  so i wouldnt deal wiv em outa principal  now , 

   But u might wanna give it a go !!

 Best of luck !!
