Third new car thread from me in about 6 months!
After deciding I was keeping the Porsche for a year 100% definitely a few day before, I happened to stumble on M3cutters again and saw a car I had to have. Viewed it the following day and then collected it the day after that!
The history with the car is a little ridiculous and it has certainly been pampered completely and utterly, in the last 4 years it has had £8253.56 spent on it, plus the warranty claim of the rear floor replacement at BMW! So nothing has been scrimped on!
It currently has about 91500 miles on it, and needs nothing doing other than some tidying up from me to be honest, drives superbly.
Part way home from Crewe:
Once home, there was a few stickers from the previous owner that I wanted to remove, and to change the interior trim from Carbon to Brushed Ali (mainly because my old one had Carbon so was nice for a change).
I also removed the 100 cell cats that the previous owner had fitted a week before I bought it, they were very very raspy, a bit too much for my early starts, so the originals back on and these will be up for sale.
Future plans:
Front end refresh, paint, new light lenses, painted grills.
New wheels, fancy come Hyper Black CSL reps (works out better financially to buy new and sell these over a refurb!)
Complete detail to make it as good as I possibly can.
Rear discs and pads.
Remove rear tints.
And unless anything unusual breaks its pretty much going to be servicing and a bit of maintenance fingers crossed!
It drives great, SMG is brilliant for my driving style and commute! This one should be staying for a while as I always regret getting rid of my old one as they are such a good car!
