Thanks Metrics! Yes I thought the same would look cool. 156 was never ordered with stripes but silver would be the way to go....unless anyone has any objections to Gold? :shock:

I keep looking for E46 B3 3.3 #085, but I fear it’s no more. Last MOT was 2016 with a sorry list of advisories

Discovered recently that there's one less Techno Violet B3S Cabrio in the UK. The pre-facelift #009, was exported back in 2012, not sure where it went or if it was whole or in pieces though.

So that only leaves 3 still here, and #160 wins the high mileage contest, knocking on 200k now.

There were 4 Techno Violet B3S’ in total but only 3 of these were LCI, so that’s probably what you were thinking of.
