Yeah and its 2 years older with nearly twice the mileage, no spare set of winter tyres/wheels, no thumping sound system or comfort seats which were a very expensive option.

I could have had an M5 but did not want to pay the 'M' tax when you look at the price of parts even simple things like brakes are double the price let alone the insurance. Plus the potential for Vanos problems and weak clutches mean expensive repairs.

Anyways am looking to swap for something of similar value & condition that I can use as a weekend 'fun' car. If not then I will just keep it.
