    2750, fresh NCT, and mechanic couldn't believe how tight it was. Think I did alright, wont be selling it on in a hurry that's for sure. It only took me a few months to find!

    That is in beautiful condition. I love the look of that version CI (I don't know it's E number so i won't guess). They made a balls of them until current one which I like.

    It's been lowered, can't remember what exactly was done to it.

    Spec is standard enough i'd imagine:
    Cruise control
    Leather electric seats
    6 CD changer

    And that's all I can think of, off the top of my head.

    That engine...:D;):):D:pac:

    I actually like Silver when it's accented with Chrome, totally discreet and plenty of style! Best of luck with her from another e46 Coupe owner :)

    There's a couple of things that I want to do to it already.

    Going to change the indicator lenses, as they're a bit yellow looking. And the centre caps on the alloys could do with replacing.
