I'll take your advice as you know the market :lol:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!

      If you're looking for a modern classic Ford Focus, you want one of the 3 cylinder Ecoboosts :thumbsup:

      Hi Roy, I'm curious why you're going 35is after the 35i, I've been looking at both too you see. Besides the obvious price difference and a bit more HP the M sport 35i offers a great deal and can be mapped easily for a few more extra ponies.

      :lol: funny you should say that, it is new (to me).

      For what it's worth, I've never driven a 35i, but I can't imagine that it ever feels underpowered on public roads.
