A few updates on the 325i...
I got someone to give it a thorough interior deep-clean including shampooing the seats, and it feels like it’s easily added £500 - it’s transformed the cabin! The wheel has also had treatment from Jack @ Royal Steering Wheels, which has freshened things up no end...
I picked this up today:
It’s a 6sp manual, pre-LCI E90 325i (6 cylinder, 2.5l) in Le Mans Blue with Xenons on a mere 146k.
It’s rough round the edges for sure, but for less than £1,900 it’s a stop-gap until I find the E91 330i I’m yearning for.
Thanks to @Cribert I’m a wannabe member of...
Anyone going this year?
I’ve got 4 tickets for Thursday and another 4 for Friday, just deciding whether I want to go both days, and I need to find out if any mates are free to come with me.
Given they’re both work days there’s every chance I’ll have some spares if anyone’s interested...?
I’ve not driven the Trophy a great deal in recent weeks (/months) but earlier this week I re-fitted the carbon splitter having given it a bit of TLC then went for an evening drive from Newbury to Wantage on the B4494 - a cracking road! I got side-tracked from a spirited drive by the setting...
I’m leaning towards an E91 version of these so very keen to know your thoughts on spec and what you consider a ‘must have’ vs ‘nice to have’.
Where did you find it? Piston/Trader/Bay?
You could use...
=LOOKUP(2,1/
($B$1:$B$7<=A11)/
($C$1:$C$7>=A11),
$A$1:$A$7)
Where your start dates are between B1 and B7
Your end dates are between C1 and C7
The number you want to return is between A1 and A7
And the date you enter into cell A11
If everyone drove like that then there'd be very few accidents, and the recent fatalities on the EVO triangle might have been avoided. But some people drive badly. So things like this happen. C'est la vie.
To be fair, if I was one of the very few people who live/work on the triangle I'd want...
I’d echo all the comments so far, the driving sounds incredible, the scenery is stunning, what a fantastic trip, thank you for sharing, looking forward to the final chapter.
Looks like you really lucked in with the weather too!
What number Trophy were they out of? If it’s still a going concern the current owner may want to reunite them, which may help you price them - you could literally ask for anything ;)
Here you go mate.

We’ve done a few Wales trips over the years, there are a few separate threads here, I’ll try and find them.
As for places to go, honestly, anywhere! It’s an incredible country, the roads are sublime.
