About this car
The sports saloon BMW owners never saw coming. Original alloys and vinyl roof.
The owner is keeping a share and staying on as lead owner, so the car stays where it is and is looked after by the same person. 2 of the 3 shares are for sale.
Each share carries 40 booking points a year, which is about 10 long weekends in the season. Local favourite drives: the Sally Gap and the Military Road.
