Me too, always had an E46 or E39 Sport on my cars to own list, they're all getting on a bit now though..

They still look extremely good for their age however.

Aye, I've always loved them and been after one for the last couple of months... this one popped up at the right price in a fantastic colour so I had to have a look.

Has the near side rear door been painted or is it just the digi pic making it look dodgey ?

Tomcat825 · 27 Dec 2012 at 13:57

Aye, it had the door replaced at some point and is slightly more faded - hopefully it'll be less noticeable once it's been polished up properly. Hoping to get it professionally done. It's not particularly noticeable in most light luckily, but unfortunately I know it's there so it does my head in.

My new daily driver, with the Fiesta dead and gone, i have replaced it with this bucket, 98 Honda Civic 1.4, cost me £400, in not bad nick, it'll do for now anyway.
it will allow me to take the Evo off the road till april now, time for it to receive some long overdue work.

went for a random drive up Glenshee today, took this next to the old devils elbow

Let's go back to the darkness (which my phone makes grainy as hell!).

I doubt anybody will notice irl it's just those **** digi cameras making it pop out.
Nice looking car though.

Go buy a 99p roll of black electrical tape, and make it so!

If you're going to bodge it, bodge it properly eh?

Looks like Saab did!

If I had Iain's I'd be looking for some non-taped clusters, I think those are foul!

iaind · 28 Dec 2012 at 09:29

They're a bit marmite, they do look better in the flesh but I don't think it helps being on a bright red car. A bit like a facelift 9-5in black makes the spectacles stand out!

Someone on one of the Saab forums actually did out black tape over his lights and posted a thread saying "hey guys, what do you think!!"... Was hilarious. I don't think they are interchangeable though. The facelift otherwise is a good one IMO, they really upped the build quality - the doors "thunk" like a German car and the interior doesn't rattle. As much.

If you ever want to swap

Maccapacca · 28 Dec 2012 at 19:48

In the spirit after fitting dealer plates to the e39 and giving the headlights some srp and elbow grease

almostgfx · 28 Dec 2012 at 23:12

Brought myself this today, Pick it up thursday. Really like it.
Should be a nice upgrade from my 1.4 corsa sxi

paradigm · 29 Dec 2012 at 00:10

You can't have brought it if you still haven't picked it up.

You can bring it on Thursday.

iaind · 29 Dec 2012 at 00:23

I can almost hear the *whoosh*
