It's in Devon. Too far for me; got to book a transporter.
Because I'm so tight, I don't want it before 21st April. That was the date it was registered in 2018, so means I only have to pay one year of the extortionate £40k plus new value VED rate.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!

It looks like this one, but with DS brown interior, not 'Pulp Fiction' red.
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-detail ... im=440i&mo
Mine is much higher spec, though, with digital dash. It has every option except Icon LED adaptive headlights and 360 camera. It's got a lot more spec than the dealer knows, as I put it through a VIN decoder and did lots of research; adaptive dampers and adaptive steering which are really rare for a 440. Only 11k miles with 2 BMW services.
I wanted an LCI but pre GPF as I am going to put an MPPSK on it. This made the choice rather limited.

I have budgeted for a few 'mods' as don't like the 704M wheels, MPPSK to be fitted and a few choice 'cosmetic' upgrades. The wife doesn't know about these but I just told her it cost £3.5k more! :oops:

With my track record, you could maybe buy it off me for £17.50 next year (or sooner) :D

Nah, much nicer than that Alpina with a forest in it with slush box.
