Excellent Chompers  :) it will be a super all round package for you  8) it is a little pot kettle from me tbh because I test drove a E93 330d last year when we were looking to swap the 330d saloon & I loved it alot but it pretty much sold straight away while we were considering the numbers, then we ended up with the TT-S.

I love the shape,red on white & wheels on yours & I think it looks the business with the roof down, enjoy.  :)
[/quote]

we also had a look at the TT but combo of lack of rear space and a twat of a salesman put pay to that.

There weren't that many verts available it the AW/Red combo as I thought there might have been and local dealer fell over trying to do the deal  8)

Did I also mention it does 53+ mpg  :P

The TT is laughable in the back but our daughter is only 5 so she is fine, I am well jealous of that mpg figure aswell, have fun in your new sun seeker Chompers & I bet you are well happy, it looks a nice spec too.  :)

The M3's had £230 worth of fuel put in it since last Monday it's driving me mad, its not always that bad as I did quite a few miles over the weekend, but the range isn't that great, at this rate it's starting to rival my old X5! I used to get 12mpg out of that regularly!

I might be back in a diesel again soon  :))

Cheers Lee :ok: chuffed with the spec, a few bits over and above what we were looking for.

I've been meaning to ask about the Z4M how come you moved it on so quick?

I just didn't connect with it for some reason & it was a cracking drivers car, I think I was just hankering after another V8 after my TVR & I have wanted V8 M3 since I test drove one back in 2008, but I do miss the enhanced noise & feel of a car with the roof off though, love the M3 lots just not the fuel bills!  :)

I so wanted a Z4M as a 3rd car, ie keeping the 123 and my e61. Came very close to one exactly the same combo as yours done just under 60k but dithered and was sold by the time I wanted to see it  :doh:

Then Mrs Chompers got involved and as they say the rest is history  :)

To get Jig and X5Sport into the spirit of things I thought I'd post these up. Have to say it's very nice to be back in a vert even if it's only once a week if lucky  ::) Looking forward to a blast over to Pas Du Calais this weekend and hopefully some nice weather  8)

I hate you! :P  ;). Ours isn't roadworthy at present.

Is that in the right spirit?    :))

Indeed, good point :ok: still waiting for 535 to get bored of the Orange rocket and "lose it" of the books  :pokey: :whistle:

Did you make any money on the Z? they seem to be holding strong value wise after some big hits over the last year or so, again a reason why I held off  ;)
