    Silly me, it is mine, how did you find the picture, that’s the dealers image, well spotted, it’s a great alternative to an RS for 30k

    Well spotted White-RS, It’s a review the purchase was based on, it’s seriously fast, I’ve seen tunes for £500 offering 420hp, it’s crazy with 340hp, they are slightly smaller and a fair bit lighter than the RS, the 6 cylinder 3 litre is only lightly turbo charged, there’s no lag, hence why the tuners can get another 80hp, the Alcantara is unique to the range, sports seats are grippy.

    Nice car that, but not enough pedals for me.

    8 gears and flappy paddles, different tool to the RS, more of a lazy mans fast car.

    It came with a bit of a discount when new.

    Up to £9,000?

    And no four wheel drive.

    So not really a bargain.

    They weren’t offered on a PCP deal as their was only 30 made and deemed as desirable so would find cash buyers, the thing is only 15% of cars today are actually purchased, the other 85% are financed in some way, so they struggled with the last 6 cars, they were heavily discounted all at the same time and got snapped up, this example was £31500 pre registered by the dealer, but one unregistered at £37000 did sell during that period, it’s still a hell of a lot of car for £30k, rare, the ultimate M140i, the last 1 series to be made with a 3 litre straight 6, the next model is going 4 cylinder, that’s definitely not BMW as we know it, just look at Porsche Cayman and Boxers, not a welcome move, purists don’t like Porches move to 4 cylinder turbos, and neither will BMW, collectable car and discounted even further, the only 1 for sale in the UK.
