Oh wow! That was SUCH a lovely example, best in the country I think. The trader left it advertised for months after, which I never really understood. I couldn't find a nice example so went German, but still keep an eye out for a manual V50 T5 high spec unicorn!

If/when you decide you might want to move on from it definitely let me know. My Beemer (6 cylinder touring) has so much spec so I could only move it on for something with lots of toys too!

Markos01, Thanks, it is a lovely car, and totally original, although whoever specced it missed the CD autochanger off the list! I'll definately let you know if I move onto something different in the future.

Love your old white C30, and good choice on that high-spec 325 touring, they are pretty scarce with a manual box too. Looks like a v.neat example.

Good luck with your search, There was another Grey R-Design with black leather a month or two ago on Autotrader, with I think around 44k and one owner...?

I think we can forgive the original owner for missing one tick off the spec sheet!

Thanks for the comments on the old C30 and newer Beemer, I do miss the 2.5 turbo a bit, hence me not ruling out a swap if a unicorn appears! Not sure I saw the 44k grey one? I generally look on AT every day at a few different cars, with the odd day missed here and there, so I either missed it or it wasn't manual or it lacked spec...?

And deffo do try me if you do decide you want a change, I could well be very interested!
