So I bought it in the end. I really had to pull it from Tonys hands, he is a very nice chap and has the car in great shape and was reluctant to sell. Looking forward to having one, I always wanted one and they have aged very well. Half decent e46 m3s are getting very thin on the ground.

I may sell the e30 but will wait for the good weather. I might put an ad up and sit on it till the right buyer comes along.
