ian_finlayson Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 Had the Rb5 for a year but decided to sell it a few weeks back So off it went to its new owner yesterday afternoon. Sounded brilliant as it went, Its very rare I wasn't in it when it was on the move so never got to hear it from the outside apart from at AWD. I'll miss it alright but I fancied some more comfort and leather. So this left yesterday and I'll be picking this up midweek. Counting the days! Lovely

ian_finlayson Posted February 19, 2006 Author Posted February 19, 2006 Cheers guys. Paddy a guy from Kilmarnock bought the car and seems a good guy. He's carrying on with the mods I had planned. You never know I told him about AWD so he might use you again. I know he's registered on here too.
bigbadboab Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 I was speaking to Mark last night and he is still 'upset' that I got my car for a knock down price[]. I told him to double check his prices in future[] Nice M3, looked at it when I was in getting mine. MINT[]
the squiggle Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Very nice and the best of luck in the outside lane of the motorway driving your new car [] Grant
ian_finlayson Posted February 19, 2006 Author Posted February 19, 2006 Yeah I'm ready for all the digs. Yes it does have indicators, no I wont be handing over my licence when I pick up the car and yes it will travel in a lane other than the fast lane! Don't care though. I've always been a huge BMW fan, my first car was a 328i sport. The M3 has been a dream and now it's going to come through. I'm a wee bit apprehensive of going back to rear wheel drive especially with 340 odd horsepower but I'm sure it will be fine. I certailny don't drive like a loon round the corners. On the test drive gave it some beans on a couple of junctions and easily got the tail out but I was testing and the rear tyres are shot. Fortunately the deal includes some new rear tyres so that should help that. I'll be treating it with kid gloves over the next few weeks.Parking will be nightmare with the 19s though! Amazingly the insurance is less with the M3, how crazy is that? Got a warranty for a year too. Economy should be similar so all in all running costs shouldn't be too much (I hope).
