Tempting offer - what do you think?

[mr wilks]

Had my test drive this afternoon and decided to go ahead and buy the 35i as I enjoyed the feel of the car and can't be ar$ed with selling the MC privately.

Thanks for all the contributions and advice folks.

I'm going in to collect the car on Tuesday after I've taken of the APEX wheels and refitted the original 224's / tyres and the complete StrongStrut set and refitted the original firewall struts.

I have enjoyed the MC, but potholes, sleeping policemen and ramps have all been a real pain so I shall enjoy the more relaxed ride as well as all the toys that come with the car .

List of all the order options attached (About £5400 retail over the bog standard spec), making the retail (as supplied) £49,980.80 :roll:

Nice one D , i know many will blow the 3,5Is trumpet but reality of the 3.5i twin turbo torque will make the ///M seem quite sluggish by comparison & is by no means a feeble machine factor in the massive step in refinement & if you can afford it then i totally see your point
Does the access to the open top mean the other Z in your stable will also be sent up the road

Congratulations. I think that will be the first Estoril Blue E89 on here. I'm sure it'll bring you a good few years of enjoyment.

Thanks Angie - best of it is when my wife saw the colour she told me that it was gorgeous and that I should go for it!

Wise woman! It is a cracking looking car.

Good luck, i enjoyed one i had on test drive a while back. Just couldn't justify new to myself! Will be great having a removable roof! Anyways, how much will you be selling the wheels from the mc for??

 

[Obs-Com]

You've made the right move and got a decent deal IMO. Think you'll appreciate the refinement and adaptability of the E89 when compared to the MC and its a fabulous looking car in that colour! I'll be interested in your views re comparisons between the two once you've had the E89 a few weeks. I'm pretty sure you'll think its a positive move. Enjoy!

congratulations! Enjoy.

Thanks! I'm happy with the deal and am looking forward to next Tuesday.

I think that the colour is amazing and a bit of a change for me as currently all my cars are silver / grey.

I took this pic of the car sitting in the showroom:

Not really decided about what to do with the 3.0i to be honest, but how much would it fetch if I decided to sell it with 40K on the clock, uprated front brakes with 330 calipers, new Brembo slotted discs, yellow-stuff pads, Drexler LSD, MFSW, Parrot MKi9200, full StrongStrut strut system all having been added after buying it for £6000 (not to mention the brand new 313M wheels and new Eagle F1 AS2 tyres!)
With all that invested, I'll probably hang on to it even if I only use it very little!
