Le Mans Blue 320si - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Chris33 · 09-06-2006, 03:36 PM

I was at my local dealer today and spotted a "56" plate Le Mans Blue 320si awaiting collection.

It looked really nice, but the thing that really stood out was it had gloss black mirror caps!

I thought they were carbon fibre at first until I got up close and had a look.

Love the motor sport alloys aswell.

Yeah I totally agree .. its a very special looking car !

Love the alloys and the concept of the engine revving to higher rpm than the standard car.

On my home tonight I spotted a "56" Titanium Silver Alpina D3 going north up the M40. Nice

An Alpina D3

Now you're talking.

They're not much more than my car (with the way it's been specced up). Would love one of those next

Not sure how you acquire company cars but if you lease like we do I think you may find that the D3 isn't much higher list but is a chunk higher on monthly lease due to (lack of) discounts, higher maintenance costs (service and especially tyres) and a riskier residual profile (we know what they are but will your average punter know much about them).

Think you'd better stick with the 320d Sport or 325d SE - Sport lease costs were alot higher when I got mine!

You're probably right. We do lease our cars. That explains why my Saab (£22k) was in the same grade as the 320d (£25.5k with extras)
