Coming soon on CC. Shame there aren't more RHD E91 B3s in the UK, they are a great package.

The seller has been pushing this one around a lot of the FB groups recently, not sure why it isn't selling.

UK E9x B3 & B3 S Tourings are certainly rare (1 x B3 and 3 x B3 S), guess there wasn't much demand for £50k + options 3-series back in 2008-2011

Did I read somewhere that a collector has most if not all of these, or am I mistaken? Sure I came across a thread once that mentioned it.

Something to do with the financial crash, perhaps?

And I don't think it was just the 3 series as I believe the numbers of any of the petrol variants across the range were way down, whilst the diesel cars held their own in terms of relative sales figures.

They're all with different owners as far as I know. I don't know where the B3 is or the first B3S but the other two B3S' are with long term owners/members here.

That was my thinking I guess, it was peak diesel-mania and with the impact of the financial crash, big budget petrol cars were not top of the shopping list.

It's listed as having Lavalina - looks more like Dakota to me.

Yeah I thought the same, so looked it up on the Archive. Confirmed it as Dakota.
