After 3 happy years, my 4x4 is being sold, to make way for an E36 325i.
I am currently enduring the usual "Oh if only I had the money" and "If only it was next month" responses, but I am used to that after the grey one.
Hopefully the 325 I am looking at in the week will be as good as described, so I can start getting reacquainted with rear wheel drive, and 190 odd BHP it puts out as standard (I appreciate its not much to most on here, but I am used to 4WD with about 170 odd) Can't wait :D

Nowt wrong with a BM mate, 325 will be good enough on the track.

@ Stu, no probs, on the phone all day.
@RX7, it'll be my only car, so it'll have to remain fairly sensible, but i have no intention of that meaning no fun.

The seats will be staying however, as I often travel with company.
My goal is to get one, and take it "home" to the 'Ring next year, watch this space.
