Trust you lot! You'd have to be able to take the ribbing in this forum! Just edited the above as, as usual my long nails made a mistake.  It's a 3.20d.  Hope it's not too slow :-) you never know I might paint it pink like my nails! And  535dboy you're a nightmare x

Next week I'll be collecting an E93 3.20d msport from the dealers.  2011 with just over 8k and high spec I've got some bits on mine that I will be selling like intravee, alpine ...
