Went to view a Laser blue with sunroof...UPDATE...Happy Ending!

And I was captivated by this:

http://www.carlians.co.uk/bmw-330-ci-sport-convertible-in-guildford-surrey-2093829

 :ashamed:  :ashamed:  :ashamed:

I rather fell in love with it. I've always had a massive E46 soft spot, and, well it is on my car list.... I put a deposit down on it, and am test driving it in the morning (I was wearing my decorating trousers at the time, it would have been sacralige)

I'm only going to keep it for 6 months, and then get another Mk5. I do feel a bit dirty though Paddy.  :ashamed: Am I still allowed to come to meets etc? The BM forums look rubbish, and there are some amazing characters on here.  :sad1:

That's what I love about this forum.

It's a proper car forum, and although not all still own their Mk5's, most have originally frequented these parts after owning a MK5 Gti/A3/Leon/Octavia etc.

So of course you should still frequent here..unless you get banned.

ConvertibleBeemer.Com Forum perhaps?...in case you are banned.

WhiteGTI used to have a... you guessed correctly... white Mk5 GTI but now has a BMW M3 and still comes to meets occasionally.

Well, I turned up to test drive the 330Ci M Sport convertible yesterday and, well, it looks lovely, sounds lovely, but boy  it was slow compared to my Mk5 Stage 1!

The laser blue 3dr Mk5 GTi with sunroof, leather and sat nav just kept looking at me, as if to say, "go on, you know it makes sense!".... So I bought it! And I have to say, the huge amount of enjoyment and sense of belonging you only get from this forum was also a big factor.

Here he is...





I pick him on Friday. I need to drive him tomorrow, and check cambelt and pump done etc, as I was in a bit of a rush to get to cricket. But as long as everything is ok, I've got  what I really wanted....a sunroof, and the laser blue colour looks amazing in the sunlight. Almost as good as shadow blue! And I've got leather and nav. Bonus. Well chuffed.  :happy2:

Thanks Monte, I'm thrilled with it, can't wait to get modding! I'll start a build thread when I take delivery, but initial plans are:

JKM Revo Stage 1.1 deal with Rev D DV, Milltek cat back exhaust and EVOMS cold air intake
Swap out the 17 Monza'a for some bigger wheels (possibly black split rim BBS)
WALK (got the kit on the old one)
Then eventually go Stage 2.

Roll on Friday!
