But extended white leather and wood :)
But does have only 2 keepers a big history file has had some big jobs done rear coil springs and the high pressure fuel pump sorted.Along with recent service carried out.
The colour is stunning the car was fully clayed and polished upon arrival and looked amazing in the sun.The chap in his 50s swapped to a very very nice Porsche 918 boxster and was someone of a car nut.
Also 2 new rear tyres good discs and pads and 1 cracked alloy wheel sorted all in all a very good car for the summer that I intend to use it for.
A good move , havana with ivory is stunning for me & you have the twin turbo with manual box 8) THE way to go imo
Nav isnt a biggy for me , the heated seats ? i do get out a lot in cold temps so i would want them but its not stopped you so crack on & enjoy the car , i love the 296s too , look so right on the 89 , just need bigger tyres for me :oops:

Nothing wrong with Marmite, well,,, accept I don't like Marmite,, but that aside, love the car, to be honest there's not really a colour I don't like the E89 in, I cant say that for most cars, and as I have long learnt, if you ask 10 people you will get 10 opinions, as long as you love it, that's all that matters :thumbsup:

You might have time to remove the M badge from the front grill before the M badge police notice it’s there :P

Congrats James - that looks stunning - was tempted to make a journey to view myself - clearly looked as good in the flesh as it did in the advert - and a good price for a rare 35i manual :D Enjoy !

I've seen that colour in the flesh and I love it. In fact, I love that whole car. It looks stunning. Didn't know about the cracking wheels though.

I was very pleasantly surprised on the cars condition apart from 1 door dent which is getting sorted tomorrow and 1 small scratch on the drivers seat it's pretty much mint.
