Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Didn't buy from a dealer
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£12,500
When did you buy the car?
May 2006
Did you get a good deal and why?
I thought I did, but I may have tied a suitcase full of money to an anchor and chucked it overboard on a boat to see how quickly my car value dropped
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Thought it might make me happy!!! And I'm lacking in the trouser department... so needed an automatic. (I have one leg fools!)
What was the dealer like?
When I got to the dealer, they were more than happy to take money off me... Can't blame them, I had bought an M3 and had Sap written all over me... I have to say that they were good and gave me discount due to the '97 nature of the vehicle.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Not that amazing, I need to get it on the track, but fear breaking it.
What's it like to park?
Never made it anywhere to find out, but the sequential gearbox makes it an arse to move slowly until your more use to it... Made me look like a learner for a couple of days...

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yup... Do not buy the automatic sequential.... Far too much engineering for a car of age.... The hydraulic pressure sensor failed in the gearbox, causing the primer motor to overun and burn out, all in costing me a tow home and a £800 bill.
What's most practical about your car?
Err.. What part of BMW M3 would you use for practical? Has a toolkit in the boot which is good for...
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
My mobile phone, to phone the AA when I break down, then phone the bank to extend the overdraft, then my surgeon to tell him to prep the op, this is not doing the business downstairs...
