Moving past the stage of justifying having this much money invested in a car now that I've got my first home which requires some attention. May move on to a Cooper S, seems a fun cheap alternative, though I hear very poor reviews regarding reliability!
I have just recently changed over the kidney grilles to Matte black but yet to take new photos since then.

Thanks, made sure I got exactly what I was after when going from the 2.5si to the 3.0si, took a huge hit on the depreciation of the 2.5 in the space of a year!mr.tourette wrote:A just about perfect 3.0si

I was originally after a 2.5si but there were far more 3.0si' around. Glad I went for the 3.0, much better specs too.
Nice piano black dash!

Aren't these cars are meant to have an oil service every 2 years or 12,000 miles which ever comes sooner.
