Finally I have a 30i
So after months of searching and being beaten to the punch by various stealers around the country , I have finally landed myself a 30i. Here area some obligatory first pictures:
Many of you know this has been a bit of a long running saga and lots of you have been sooooo patient and helpful over the last few months in answering my questions, listening to my whining and providing encouragement that eventually I’d find one. I know this isn’t the Oscars, but given the amount of negativity on the forum over the last 24 hours I think it’s worth pointing out that even if there are one or two idiots, crooks and utter sh1tbags Snooping in the shadows, there are some fantastic, honest, helpful and good people on this forum. So a big and special thank you to Argyll Andy, who helped me day, night and often early morning with all things E89 and to Silverstar, who’s been with me right through the whole saga. Apologies if I miss anyone, but also big thanks to Smartbear, Ronk, Enuff Zed, McButler, Pbondar and MrTidy who have all taken time to guide me and answer my endless questions.
And before anyone asks, no I don’t want to buy a f**kin M Sport bonnet for it. I’m off to check some salmon relays and to start cleaning and polishing

Congratulations! A fine looking car sir. Now you will find after reading the posts on this Forum that you need all sorts of items for your new acquisition that you didn’t know you needed.

Was that the one on Autotrader down near East Grinstead? Looks very nice don't think the sellers pics in the ad really did it justice if it is.
