Just junk all the crap badges and other rubbish trim, buy some proper badges and put them in the right place on the boot, easy fix.

The B4 is a great car :D, shame about the colour :snooty

Thanks.

I was thinking more about the internal bits, LED lights, speakers etc...?

Best regards

I can't tell if this car has lumbar support, looks like it might?

Greg

PS I quite like the colour, it seems more like a light gray.. unless that's a trick of the light.

I don’t think it does have lumbar, looks like it is missing the circular rocker switch to me. (See below). Looks like you can see the recess of where it goes.

Glacier Silver is the standard Silver option for F3x generation. Like Titan Silver rather than the darker shades such as Silver Grey.

Thanks Bob!

I think the B4 is one of the best looking cars you can buy.
Shame about the mileage - I wouldn't usually buy a car with over 30k miles....

Hmmmmm

With only 9 F32 B4 BT's sold in the UK you haven't got many to choose from and based on the last MOT's they were all over 30k except #049 which is at 27k and #204 which is at 12k.

The B4S' are more likely if you can find one, looks like 6 of the 8 are sub-30k but one of those is the CAT N #273 which is currently for sale at £38k.

If you're feeling really flush there are 4 Ed99's which are probably all sub-30k. #080 is rumoured to be for sale. :wink:

This is a nice looking model & ageing very well. Not been anywhere since it sold back in Feb 22, still on the same mileage!

Looks like this has been sold but I just found this video on Youtube that could be helpful for future owners:

Those Black stripes look horrible :( , still adorned with those naff badges.
From the video looks like the drivers seat has sustained damage, not exactly high mileage.
