Hi all,

first off wanted to say thanks to all the people that helped with my questions when I was a new boy.

Also thanks to the valued information on this site I never had a question un answered!

Car is now up for sale on here, PH and Autotrader. Not sure how they are selling at the moment? Or if I have priced it right?

So after 4 fantastic years of Rocco ownership it's now time for someone else to enjoy it!

Cheers
Rob

BMW offering some cracking deals on M cars at the moment. I'm sure you will enjoy, what is likely to be, the last M3

Got a fantastic deal on the M guys....bought from a BMW dealership in Scotland. They are flying me and the Mrs up for pick up which should be an event.

The new model which will come next year is mutted to be an M4 (coupe) they will also do a 4 door, convertible and grand coupe.

Im looking forward to 414BHP and DCT launch control!!! But not the 20(ish) MPG.

So do you think I have priced the Scirocco correctly?

Cheers

I assume it was Eastern BMW as it would seem they were offering some of the best deals in the country.

If Eastern BMW is Douglas Park BMW in Glasgow then yes.

Have you been looking into them?

Eastern BMW are in Edinburgh and I'm pretty sure not connected to Douglas Park in Glasgow.

I've not been looking at them, just heard / read about the current deals.

Ok so here is the Scirocco's replacement, will miss the Roc was a fantastic car.

I ordered the car in December so the wait has been painful to say the least! Delivered last Thursday 14/03/2013 on the same day the new owner of my Scirocco picked it up.

Took it round the block then came back and took this one, nice touch 13 miles. Had a warring light but it was just low fuel. (better get used to that!)

Image

Image

Image

Image

I'm really pleased with the Mineral, it's pearlescent characteristic is just stunning (to me anyway)

Image

Image

Image

Image

Fox is really hard to capture the true colour but I love it, breaks up the interior nicely.

Image

I was concerned the car would be filthy when it turned up as it's been on a truck for 2 days making it's way down but was pleasantly surprised at how clean it was. I was also a little concerned that the car may get damaged but it is just perfect not a mark on it.

DCT is bliptastic (down shifting puts a big smile on your face) and I'm finding it really hard to keep below the 5K.

I love the sound of it even when slowing down there is a mechanical whine and the roar on acceleration is truly addictive!
This cars heart is some peace of quality engineering, a truly awesome V8 engine.

Really like the little touches such as the lighting, fold out storage etc

Soon as I got home that day I put the Gloss Black bonnet vents and grill on.

Image

All I need to do now is get to the 1,200 miles so I can get the service done then really start to enjoy it.

Wow that's nice!! They are great cars. Unusual number plate lol. If you don't mind me asking how much did that set you back?

Cheers all!

Number plate Photoshopped - for obvious reasons.

OTR £60,200!!!

But I'm leasing it for 3 years, no way could I afford that price tag nor the deprecation!

An M1 would cost a fortune as it's a classic, I think the one are referring to is the 1M:-)

Robbie, M3 looks stunning and wish you many miles of happy motoring.
