is it me or do the range rover look so cheaply made nowadays
I was actually very surprised by how well they felt put together inside. I thought they would have gone completely downhill in terms of quality before trying them but they are really very nicely put together. Everything feels solid and well done. The electrics do some strange things from time to time, but you know :p part of the quirks!

Just recently bought back a 330Ci I sold in 2019. I did a lot of work to it back then, it’s one of the nicest ones I’ve ever seen and one of the best colour combinations (its my 4th 330Ci over the years). Car is unmarked in every way and has only done a few thousand miles since I sold it.

Agreed, the E46 is perfection. Everything about it is just right. Nothing too over the top. Really peak BMW.

@Acme yeah mate, Mora - a really nice colour especially in the sun when the heavy metallic comes out.

Holy moly, that is drop dead gorgeous!

I’ll have to keep an eye out for you - which part of Sussex are you in?

love the E46 and the 330 is a great engine too.

Yep agreed the 330 engine is really lovely, OK its not got the power of an S54 M3 engine, but there is just something abouit them 330's.
I'd say you should keep that car now @rare as with the way some older car prices are going in 10 years it could be worth quite a bit of money and just enjoy it.

E46, 996/7 Porsche were the perfect size cars, no fear of piloting them down a B road at warp speed, the newer stuff biggest downfall is the size as most just got so wide.

Had the GR Yaris over two months now and done over 1500 miles, planning on getting all fluids changed soon ahead of schedule.

I’ve enjoyed driving this car so much that I’ve only washed it twice since ownership and it got its first coat of Si02 wax this week, bit overdue but enjoyed driving it too much, am still finding sand lol.

Anyway a rare picture of my GR all clean. :D

Your car history is quite something @rare

haha thanks mate! It’s nothing too special, they aren’t expensive cars or anything like that. I just like older, interesting and really clean examples. Something that would get noticed, but only to someone that might know what they are looking at.
