Yep, that's the one. The original owner was an accountant for one of the well known companies that deals with receiverships, he got an M3 after that . It was a lease car and he was offered it for £4k off the company (it had parking dints all over it, and HUGE mileage for the age ), hence why he offered it to me for a quick profit. At the time, I had the Moonstone Sapphire and didn't want the hassle of owning another one, as like you say they weren't fetching huge money and the bodywork needed a LOT of attention. I then saw it for sale a few months later for something like £7k (IIRC) .

Someone bought it and spent an absolute fortune with Aladin getting it up to mint condition (as can be seen from the magazine article).
