Have a wee look at the link in my post on page 2 and see what you’ll get here for a wee bit more @£500k

Yeah, I've shared with wifey links of proper burgs in the southwest of France for US$500,000. You know, master house, in-law house, guest house, stable, pen, swimming pool, football pitch, wine cellar, the works. And TBH, I could be happy as a lark with the mere guest house.Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 6:54 pm

I’m happy for you.
You say that and yes it is true that the E89 isn’t a sharp as say a Porsche Boxster but it isn’t a million miles away, Clarkson and Jason Plato as well as other motoring journalists have stated that the E89 is a good handling car and in fact Jasón Plato actually owned one, Jason is a British race car driver and presenter of Fifth Gear in case you weren’t aware. But as you say with a few mods it can be made to handle better.
Sadly, James, nothing new here. It’s the good ole rat race for the next dollar. It’s a horrible state of affairs for a city that likes to call itself progressive.Deepseaskateboard wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 11:05 pm I actually met a guy who lived in a closet in SF.
New, the average 2016 35is was pushing US$80,000. More with all packages. That’s a lot of coin for a M-badged car that struggles in bends, downshifting and whatnot. Call me naïve, but I was expecting far better performance.Silverstar wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 10:19 pm You say that and yes it is true that the E89 isn’t a sharp as say a Porsche Boxster but it isn’t a million miles away, Clarkson and Jason Plato as well as other motoring journalists have stated that the E89 is a good handling car and in fact Jasón Plato actually owned one, Jason is a British race car driver and presenter of Fifth Gear in case you weren’t aware.

It sure was expensive in the US, in the UK it’s list price was around £43k before options but it was never an M car, so one shouldn’t expect M level of sharpness from it. the M badging is merely the trim level as it is on all other E89s regardless which engine option you pick, they were all available in either SE or M trim level.Marcoose wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 12:05 amSadly, James, nothing new here.
