Bought my 52iSE I 1999 when it was just three years old. It has proved to be a fantastic car and I just did not want to part with it so I have kept it all these years. I have now bought another car as I felt an automatic would suit me better these day, but I have kept the beemer. Just could not part with it. After all, it won't be long before it is a Classic instead of a banger!!
