MANUAL too?!
That's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for (a manual cab, just not in black of course
).

That's a very tidy looking vert..congrats 
Cheers guys I'm chuffed with it. Fox you're right my bad, sport hold the m!
Wondered if anyone knows the answer to a niggly issue I have - the toolkit which is attached to the underside of the bootlid is missing it's bottom 2 fixings either side, it's only secured with the top central plastic screw - so every so often the entire thing will just fall off. I've tried ordering some trim fixings from the bay but they're not right , does anyone know the part number or where I can get my hands on some? Will grab a pic if it helps. Cheers!

Not sure if this link will work but can you see anything like you need on that if it works?

Depends on the type of business tbh ,for example, profit margin in my (as in for who I work) business is 1 - 2.5% with truly massive overheads!

This particular 114 comes with a 3 litre straight six!

My new car ready for summer:
53 plate 330ci m-sport, 6 speed manual vert, with harmon kardon, tv (albeit redundant!) and electric everything. Cost me £5k on the nose with 95k on the clock, slightly higher miles than desired but felt this was reflected in the price, it has been well looked after and serviced. Been looking for quite a while and this was the best example from a nice previous owner so snapped it up.
The engine is sublime, loving the power and burble from the straight 6. Carried out some small jobs so far, golf tee modded the exhaust - the butterfly valve was completely ceased shut, this was persuaded open with some wd40 and some harsh language, dropped in a new panel filter, treated the leather, hood etc. Looking to carry out some preventative maintenance next month, replace vanos seals which are not giving any issues but due to be done and give it a full service.
My wife and I have recently gone from never owning a BMW to owning 2, she also purchased an 08 120d m-sport auto, clearly the 2 are completely different machines but loving the quality of both!
Looks absolutely lovely.
I've just got myself a 330ci, but cheaper than yours, prefacelift and obviously not in as good a condition as yours cosmetically. Congrats
It's a facelift convertible, convertibles hold value, you know this, the latest trend of 'compare everything to trade auction value and declare it expensive' is getting tiresome now Jez
If you fancy moaning about actual high values pop along to the E39 thread where some dealers are trying to get £6k for E39's

Hi all,
I'm currently on the hunt for a e92 coupe, to cut a long story short, I've found 2 both priced pretty much the same, same year, engine, trim etc (give or take a few ££).
Which would be the better option?
1) no drive, low mileage (sub 50k)
2) idrive, high mileage (70k+)

Would take the one with iDrive any day, transforms the whole interior.
As Fox and Voxination have said. The iDrive makes a world of difference to the overall feel of the car. But the 70k+ one will come with an expensive warranty attached.
I would save my pennies and up my budget until I could get a sub 60k one with iDrive.
