Cant believe im looking at THAT car :shock: :D :D :D :D (The car at s2000)

My in laws live in amersham and on the way back to west london myself and my girlfriend would detour to a little SYTNERS showroom that used to be in Gerrards cross.They shut it when they opened the big one near high wycombe.

Anyway we would just look through the window and stare at this car .It was(i think) pre registered) and was up for £44000.

I am telling you that colour is absoloutely wonderful never seen anything like it.Matched with the cream interior it is gorgeous.To me it looked beautiful (the only word)amazing to see it again. :lol:That car is so emotive to me im nearlly welling up. :oops:

It just says corporate mileage (what does that mean stella mileage but serviced regularly?)I reckon if it was in good condition and you got it independantly checked ok I cant see how once seen you could walk away from it.

Now doug this is when it gets really surreal ,I think I know the blue one as well.
Just trawled and on jan 22 2008 I started a thread called "at last maybe"

I believe that same car was in a local showroom.I had a test drive in it brilliant.They wanted £28000 .It went for £24000 at the time it had 14000miles on it only.A few doors away was a building firm the owner had bought it for his wife ,she hardly used it.

If you can get hold of the paperwork if it shows one owner till around april 2008 that must be the same one.By the way it IS a 3.4 not 3.3 as advertised, the s being the giveaway.

If it is how spooky is this thread :shock: :lol:

I think it quite cheap for its age as i paid 13k for mine but mine had only 56K for a 2001 model which i brought in Aug & the lack of the dealer placing any mention of mileage would make me worried as a decription of corp mileage would suggest very high mileage indeed
But it is a lovely looking car & I would have been interested in this car if I hadn't already got my baby :D

just had a reply about the ruby red 3.4s here it is.

sorry for the late reply the car is now sold it had covered 100000 miles however had 15 bmw services by 1 owner we struggled to sell and had to let it go for £10300 sorry for not getting back sooner sales

that mileage was not as high as i thought it was going to be. and i would of paid 10300 for it no worries.

Hi guys, firstly allow me to introduce myself as a new member, and secondly, I must admit that I am the guilty one - I bought the B3s for sale at s20004u!

Its done over 100k, but actually drives brand new!

I'll post some pictures up today!
