For some reason, I thikn it was £77k new.
Ouch.
Mind, he didnt buy it new, but still lost a good chunk of money on it.

Wow - he must have cash to burn Dem! I'm happy driving yesterday's heros if it means I don't get hit too hard with depreciation and still get to drive a nice motor.

Well I took the plunge at the weekend and bought the M3.
So far so good. I didn't really know what to expect, but I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised. It seems to handle very well and the power delivery is excellent - I would say it feels like a front engined 911. With isofix in the back, all the electric gizmos inside, well put together (no rattles) interior, raspy exhaust note and ~28mpg (long motorway drive) whats not to like about it? I still miss the GS, but have probably done more miles in the M3 this weekend that I would have done in a couple of months in the GS... It does seem to be the 'practical everyday coupe' which I was looking for and you can't argue at the price of these machines.

Yes it was the one which was advertised - lots of pics here:

Immaculate paintwork, interior is in very good condition and FBMWSH + whole stack of bills from BMW. Not sure about the slotted discs fitted - they seem to squeal (presumably pads) so may have to revert back to OEM discs/pads on the front (surely OEM BMW cross-drilled discs would be up to the job?) Otherwise completely original.
