Saw a pretty nice looking 316i in Shrewsbury this morning. It joined the M54 southbound. Anyone on here?

Couldn't tell if it was a sleeper or an actual 316i by the way it was thrashed down the road. Left me for dust and I was doing 80.

Audi A6 Avant with a roof box on it - on the way to do a uni run. Was it you?

This was definitely a white 316i. Had a beige/brown interior from the brief look I got. I tried to catch the driver's eye for a thumbs up, but he wasn't looking :(

Ha ha, nice. I do see a surprising amount these days, but since getting one I am on the road a lot more. (Deffo wasn't me though by the sounds of it).

It was NOT me pal. Not only do I not have a white 316 (i or not i) but I was underneath the awnings most of that day trying to get my Scalextrics layout working again after a six month lay-off.

Luckily, with a bit of WD and a bit of cleaning, it's all working nicely now.

So, sorry, it wasn't me. And anyway, I don't live in Shrewsbury or even in that general ball-park area.

Good luck finding the owner though!
