Yes that was mine. It’s a superb car. I was the second owner and had it for 7 years. I had a serious stereo upgrade professionally installed when I bought it - I sold it to my brother who had always lusted after it when I had it. He loved it and did a lot of motorway miles in it. He has just bought a Boxster S to replace this with, which is why this is up for sale again. My brother looked after it very well and I was wistful when he used to visit us in it. The 340i touring I replaced it with never quite hit the spot. I’d have bought #111 back but now my dog prefers a Touring. Hence the B3S.

Gents, I am looking at buying #111, it has an issue with not starting when warm, so hopefully sorted later this week. Nice upgrade from my E90 D3 (single turbo).

Congrats and enjoy. TJO is an Oxford plate I have a 1964 Jaguar with TJO so I always do a double take when I see another.

Hi Kiwi

I only just saw your post. Pleased to hear number 111 has gone to a good home and that you are on here. I hope you will enjoy the car! I did, and so did my brother. My wife still misses it. She loved the colour - she's not much consoled by the Alpina blue B3S Touring which I have now! (I am, though!)

Sward, when I went to view the car a while back it had almost like an additional sensor in the front and rear bumpers and an LED coming out of the A pillar, do you know what these are? Always been curious about them.

Yes,

These were on the car when I bought it. They are, apparently, a radar detector system. I don't approve of these, and didn't use it.

Gents
Protuberances removed, the cam chain cover gasket was leaking so that gasket, sump gasket and main seal replaced under warranty. Just had the gearbox filter, oil and the leaking oil filter housing gasket replaced. Spoke to the bloke (Ex-BMW independent) who fixed the car, under warranty, and he said the cam chain, tensioner and followers looked brand new so thank you for looking after the car so well. Next job new shocks (looking at Koni special active shocks) and sway bars bushes in the new year when the weather improves, must admit I think #111 is a keeper.
