Nice car. I dunno about the interior but I'd rather get a car with an odd colour interior below what the normal 330s of same everything except colour go for if it was significantly less. Still the same car.

Good choice

Erm... interesting colour combo but it was a bit of a deal

How much is insurance?

My uncle Fred had a Granada that colour.

Cool car, I need to sort out a new car, I remember when you had the same Escort as me, which I still have and now you've got a beemer, lucky sod

Like it - like the colour too, it looks amazing in clear sunlight.

Well done - quality motor.

Gilly · 12 Jul 2006 at 09:11

My dad had an Austin Allegro that colour :eek:

Nice motor car mate, hope you enjoy it

I like the colour, especially the interior, enjoy driving it.

Hate · 12 Jul 2006 at 12:24

nice choice

although probably not as balls out as the MR2, its certainly a sensible mix of car for driving and for loafing around in

Mad old tory · 12 Jul 2006 at 12:26

Really like that, nice change from the usual conservative tones.

Just about to leave to go and put £5k of cash in the bank, as the couple who own the car would prefer an electronic bank transfer.

I haven't even told my dad I've bought it yet

Just be careful. If possible go and see them and give them a bankers draft and watch them pay it in to the bank. You don't want to get stung!

Considering the exterior is an unusual colour (special BMW custom colour no less) I don't think the interior is that bad. If the outside was silver or black or something then it wouldn't work.

Looks like you've got a decent car there. I've got no idea of the Parkers price for these so can't comment on whether its a bargain or not!

I was wondering that too.

I have just telephoned my insurance company. At first it was "I'm afraid you have to be 21 for that vehicle, sir". A short while and contact with the central underwriting office and they returned an amendment quote of £392.40 with 8 of 12 months remaining. With some calculating the overall cost for the year, assuming I had the BMW from the start, would be a smidgen under £2,000

That's not too bad I guess. How many years NCB do you have?
