Hello there!

[MarkT]

New to the forum, looking for a E86, 3.0, auto, in silver probably.
Need something to get me out of the BMW diesels I keep driving round in.
I've even been trackdaying my G30 530d, it's getting ridiculous, any help much appreciated.

Welcome
While the BMW 3.0 diesel is very good, I agree, you need help if you are using that as a fun car!
An E86 on the other hand, is a thing of beauty

Any particular reason why you want an auto? They turn up on here every so often, so if you are patient, you will get a good one.

Hi Mark, welcome to the forum, good hunting.

Hi Mark, and welcome to the forum.

It sounds like you may be using an E86 for track days so you probably want to find a Sport model as they came with much more supportive M-Sport seats, which were an option on the SE. Anyway good luck finding the right one.

I would only track day it very occasionally and would mostly use it on the road so would prefer more of a GT feel. The auto and it's paddle shift is a good blend for me, have decades of similar use on my 530d and previous 335d.
