Seen some for 27,500, you will get them for 25,000. Bottom is falling out of these things as they are old hat now.

I was about to ask why you thought it was a crap one, but that ad doesn't read right at all.

And CSL rare in black? I've only seen black and silver ones.

Remember who this is for, you can't really tinker with the BMs. Or can you?

Well depends what everyday car is to you I spose. If its struggling to get in and out of if, not needing to ever get shopping or take friends out then its perfect. But most people an everyday car requires a bit more than spending 5 mins getting in and out.

Out of those options i'd be going for the Exige followed by the R34.

I reckon you'll go for the R34, hang onto it for about 6 months, sell it before the depreciation becomes a problem and buy another S.

Moff I did see that one too, not sure it does anything for me for some reason... Maybe a coupe one if they do it.

I tried getting in and out of the Exige and thought it was bearable. I'm 5'11 but only about 12 stone so quite nimble

Lower - think you are right.

Boab - i'm waiting for someone to make me an offer I can't refuse
