line a few up.
Like the rest of us do
Indeed, it's not exactly a hassle...I went to Nottingham a couple of weeks ago to bring a car back...6 hours driving, but I enjoyed it.
I can't understand how it can take so long to sort out a car, the country is full of good used cars for sale.

Its pretty simple tho if your scared of getting a dog when you get there pay a bit extra and get an inspection done on it then youll know ... i got one done on my 200 by the AA and then when it came back i knew it was a good one ...
Or even get the seller to take pics of each angle you want with todays paper in the shot all arches etc ... i reckon if he wants a sale he'll go out of his way to do it.

chris in all honesty i 100% see where ur coming from, but pictures are absolutly no use untill you see the car in person. If you see the quality of m3's knocking about this country (lower mileage more expensive ones) you will see they are utter ****e, but still looking good money for them.
Now imagine you had 1 day to go to england to see a car, which takes a fair bit of organisation to say the least and it turns out to be a bucket, your left with a very expensive plane ticket home, (x2) and an entire day wasted. Taxi's etc
M3's are getting long in the tooth and do not age well. there are a handful of real crackers in this country that people wont sell. But as for my reasons mentioned above it is not worth the risk going to england for one.
I have asked people on several occasions , is there any rust on the back arch, they said no. Yet you turn up, the outer arch fine, but the inner arch scapped away to nothing. Just as expensive to fix. But then again I dont want to be sending a car to the bodyshop, i just want to drive it no hassle!!
I am not doing this post out of lazyness but I am not prepared to go to the main land for a 10yo car that could be a bucket, this post is simply to broaden the audience to people who may have ones for sale, or know of a friend who does. Other than the cars already advertised on the usual channels

Well to be fair its not me buying one or have any knowledge on them so i can see what your getting at ...
Well im sure one will come up ... maybe if you upped the budget maybe you could go for a newer model M3 and id say there would be more examples of those over here in good condition than the older shape.

Jas, if you see one in Central Scotland that you fancy, let me know and a couple of us from the BMWCC in Scotland can go and have a look. I can even extend the offer to whole of Scotland, I'm sure someone in each corner of Scotland would be more than happy to go and have a look for you. Bearing in mind I work offshore and not always at home. But I can ask other guys from the Club 'n all.
