So the Audi thing didn't pan out, for one reason or another.
Got fed up with looking at tat so signed on the line for this today...320i (B48 engine) F31 in 'luxury' trim. Don't quite know what the luxury is as it isn't exactly brimming with toys! Low miles, great service history (every 3k miles yearly) though. Looks like Melbourne Red to me. £10k cheaper than some of the Audis I was looking at.

Just realised that once this arrives and the new E89 (if my transporter ever actually gets it), we will have only BMWs in the household....
F31
E89
E36 Z3
and a Mini.

Very nice.
Hope they're sorting that front wheel first though?

Nope! All four need attention but they are not as bad as they look (mostly lacquer peel). I will do them myself or may even get some different used wheels.

The Mazda will be for sale when the F31 arrives, so not counted that.

My equivalent of your X3, mate. For going to the tip, fishing and general duties.

It does look rather nice. Bet it is more than the X3 though

Can never go wrong with an estate BMW

I had an F series 5 series for a bit and it was a joy to own, never put a foot wrong. Always fancied an estate version of those

Just need the Alpina version though ... I drove one last week and that was rather nice to drive.

There's always the Z3 M coupe

That looks great Andrew - lovely colour combo too.
