I bought a 2005/05 Seal Grey Boxster S this morning.
Pictures will follow once I have collected it and cleaned it.

I know. By pure coincidence I came across this one late yesterday afternoon and by 11am this morning, I had shook the hand and wired the cash.
I am really pleased with it.

go for the 335d , you will enjoy it alot more than a 335i or 330d.
fuel economy is very good on them too
98% sure BMW don't do a 335d. Goes up to 330 d then the 5 gets the bigger 3.5 diesel (535d)
Phew, lucky you didn't say 99%!
I know CorsaSport keyboard warriors are like, thats why i said 98% because i some people would hit me up with that flamethrower lol 
i would love a 335d never seen one around but would be one hell of a motor

Quick Pic taken from the sellers advert. Arranged to collect it this evening with the girlfriend.
Will probably spend tomorrow on axle stands having a proper bath. Will order new blank number plates over the weekend.

Small update, nothing too exciting.
I spent the Saturday giving the car a thorough clean;
- fairy liquid to cut through the copious amounts of silicome the dealer sprayed over it
- Autosmart Tardis session to eat through tar spots
- Clay
- Polish
- Wax
Cleaned up really well but I have booked the following in for the next 2 weeks;
- Wheel refurbishment. They were not perfect and had been done before
- Major service. More for peace of mind than anything.
- Tracker subscription activated.
- Some paint work to front bumper
- Geo set up
Once all that is done, I will share some new pictures.

Forgot to add, I have new floor mats en-route to me from Porsche Reading and an Autoglym roof cleaner and restorer. Good news is that after all this rain, I can confirm the roof is watertight.

i missed this update looks lovely. those wheels are the best ones aswell imo. only thing i don't like on these is the side air intakes (wish they were deeper) but other than that they look fantastic.

Cheers Ben. Those pictures were taken by the dealer and used in the advert. It looks clean, but it was superficially clean.
I wanted those wheels, was one of the options I was unwilling to compromise on.
I am itching to get some decent pictures up, but dont want to until it is as I want it.
