prussian.guard Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Nice looking car but running cost will be extreme.little bit of bull going on with the mpg though and not that long till the next service which will sting.as always if you can afford to buy it make sure you can afford to run it.

Oh How Original Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Do it! Rare colour on the 9x No colour is rare on any car, anything can be repsrayed. Not a good enough reason to waste over 21k in my opinion. Then again, I don't particularly like BMWs.

Then again, I don't particularly like BMWs. Well, it is a rare colour still. Anyone whos looking at a premium car you will 99% of the time find will not buy a vehicle thats had a full respray. This mightn't be the case with billy boy in his 1.1 saxo but when it comes to cars on upper market you will find its the case. Anyway, still a cracking car and also dont suffer subframe issues like the E46 M3 and other variants did. Civic> M3 = Epic move! In terms of performance and build. Find a good reputable BMW specialist for servicing and you will be surprised how maintainable they are, heck BMW spares are actually cheap compared to say even renault. Thats from personal experience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I don't see how a colour that anyone can buy is a rare colour, but okay... And to be honest, someone who can afford a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryW Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Rare colours occur all the time. For instance I have a velvet blue individual, its rare colour. Not a rare as white e46's. The e9x seem to mostly be white or black. Imola red on them is rare. If someone spending 20k on a car it's more likely they want a straight car, re sprays out people off its simple as that. People who spend 20k on a car won't rush a purchase, they will won't for correct spec and colour. If you find an e9x m3 that's had a re spray it will ring alarms with people it's been crashed and repaired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurcyP Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Everythings better than a PT but sure as hell gets looks and is comfy as a mother ..its even funnier when you get a load of pikeys crammed into a noisy saxo, they all just turn their heads slowly n look at you in complete horror, to which you then leave them behind because no matter what a 2l engine that puts out 140bhp will beat a saxo with a cherry bomb on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoryW Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Yea, fine, Ill just pop round to different retail stores in one of those, doing upto 100 miles a day, parking it in public car parks etc. I'm sure my suit wont get too creased up, and Ill look fine by the time Ive got there to do a presentation.... Idiot. I never liked red cars, but I just think thats a nice colour on the M3. I want Frozen Blue Individual, but that only avaliable on the newer ones which are out of my price range. Also limited to 500 I think wasn't it? Imola red is a peach when detailed, as you say it suits the m3 also. I say less thinking and more signing on the dotted line :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say red was rare. Its rare in e9x its simple as that. You seem to want to argue points which are valid so I'll leave you to that.

Whether they choose to or not is up to them, but you don't seem to understand what I mean. NO colour is rare on any car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having worked in the industry until a few years ago maybe I see it differently than someone looking in? It still doesn't get past the point that re sprayed high end cars are usually due to crash damage which hasn't been claimed through insurance companies. Also to add, why would someone spending 20k want to devalue it by making it a colour which was originally available from manufacture?

NO colour is rare on any car. the point you seem to be missing is that if say there are 1000 of a particular car and only 3 are green that makes green rare. adj. rar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Trooper Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 My latest car. Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi. Few improvements planned for it. Bought it mainly for the boot space, quite quick too.
