I finally bought an E86 3.0si manual a month ago, I absolutely love it! Adorable body shape IMO and feels like a proper drivers car, You climb into it and you sit so low! The N52 engine is a peach and sounds gorgeous and the ZF 6 speed box is a joy to use, The E86 was only produced for 2 years and people like me are waking up and smelling the coffee hence me getting one as prices IMO are not going to get any lower and they will soon be on the up! Mines a keeper, I am not ever getting rid unless drastic circumstances force me to do it, Also liked and subbed 👍
Awesome and great to read your comment. There are great cars and are modern classic. My friend Magnus is really enjoying his. Maybe We should do an update video. Thanks Jamie
Great car! No turbo problems, manual transmission, and hatchback makes sports car useable. And old enough to not have all the computer issues.The video was very interesting glimpse into a great journey.
You picked the right car, I've had my 2007 3.0si in ruby black over parchment leather/piano black interior for a few years now and love it. Easy to work on, looks fabulous and a great drive. Great travel blog guys!
Great little cars, my friend has an si coupe in a similar colour scheme and i have an early roadster. Brilliant road trip cars, suprisingly comfortable and sound glorious when you push themon a bit
I have almost the same car but with nimbus grey leather. Had it 3 years and still absolutely love it and have no plans to sell it! Such a beautiful design inside and out and to drive with the 6 speed manual box is sublime. More than enough grunt, handles well and suprisingly economical on a run - high 30 to 40 mpg. Big boot and glorious straight 6 lump. Whats not to like?!
That’s always a good sign if you are still enthusiastic about the car after 3 years of ownership. I know my friend Magnus is super happy with his purchase and has been driving a lot over the summer. I love the n/a power also. Just enough to be lots of fun. Jamie
Bought myself one 2 months ago. Automatic transmission though but I can not complain. Iteresting part is it's also 2007 and it was imported from Finland in 2018.

If you think in Finland the tax for import an european car it's too much... Then you must don't know what we pay to import to Portugal... Just crazy crazy values... Great video btw!

Citti was the place to fill a car's trunk with cheap wine and beer back in mid 90s and 00s...I hope it's still the same 😊
Still is most definitely😅
Was my first experience of the Citti Park but probably not my last. Although in the Z4 there wasn't any spare room for cheap wine 😁

Good choice sir and glad you're happy with it. I know my friend Magnus is very much enjoying his. So what county did you bring it too?

Really? I had no idea Portugal had a high import tax on vehicles. Crazy!!
Can you tell me what company have you used to arrange those plates? Thanks
Hello. I will ask my friend and get back to you
@@jamiedowson6482 thanks, I really appreciate it man!
