That, Sir, is frapping lovely. Always loved the 'original' 3 series. A 2002tii was a dream car for me as a kid. :thumbsup:

A guy I know raced a 2002 turbo. Said it was the most annoying car he had ever run due to the ridiculously long turbo lag - he had to floor it going into a corner in order for it to start accelerating by the end of the corner. Nonethelss, those cars are rare and desirable. And now very pricy!

I noticed from your signature you also have a Suzuki "kettle". If you ever want to donate either (or both) I would give them a good home. :thumbsup:

Wasn't that the point of early turbo cars, though? Nowadays turbos are unnoticeable. Apparently a 1979 Saab 99 turbo's lag was measured in weeks. :lol: I loved my 1985 Escort Turbo; you could feel the turbo kick in which made it an event. :thumbsup:
I now have three cars with four turbos between them; only noticed by the badges on the back.

It's only down the road from me too. £15k is strong money, but for a good example I can see it. If only I didn't have another house in the offing; I would be seriously interested. :thumbsup:

Yes it’s a lot of money but I think it is probably one of the best in the country. Better condition than new. Any modern classic bike or car are fetching ridiculous money at the moment.
