    Were a couple of these early cars in Evergreen dave?

    I'm pleased with my car but part of me wishes I bought the 1998 Evergreen car that was up for sale last year, although in the end I'm not sure if the guy actually sold.

    Would like to see an Evergreen in the flesh, always looks pretty cool in the photos to me :)

      Not that I know of, I have seen a Evergreen in the flesh years ago when we had a big meet at Gaydon BMW festival , its a real odd colour and like Laguna seca works better in certain lights i.e bright sunshine otherwise it can look dull and flat.

        LB29018 IMOLA RED AND RED TRIM

        Remember the VIN decoder making mention of something Press Car related and legend has it they were ever so slightly tweaked in the engine dept.

        Also had a fire extinguisher fitted under the drivers seat.

        Miss the car every day. So much so that I’m hopefully going to jump back on the MCoupe bus soon.

                Now wondering what an M Coupe would look like on the 18" E46 M3 wheels and not the pictured 19"....

                            Hey all

                            Yes T644 ARX is still owned by me, first drive in two years yesterday, had to get lots of bushes and suspension bits changed and air con pump finally failed, not bad considering I bought the car in 2002!!

                            Tiff Needell told me he drove it and reviewed it and also there is this -

                            Sorry if I am repeating anything here!
