there were 3 made IIRC,

I knew the Mtech one that atta owned very well, a surry car that he bought for around £800 I used it lots of times it was a really good car with great spec, I almost bought it but had too much on at the time,
he swapped it in a deal on a 525i sport... it did end up in Ireland

I have the original spec sheet from when i was going to buy it.
Yes,Air con as well.
As Steve says..nice spec on this one. However,Tech 2 kit wasn't factory fit.

it was a press car to promote the touring or something, heated comforts, climate/aircon LSD,HLWW,cruise (not seen that on a 318 since) power windows all round load liner with dog guard maplight mirror proper morselled turd

it was deffo manual
i did lots of Motorway miles in it collecting other turds at the time and it drove very very well indeed on long journeys

sadly it was slightly rear ended in liverpool by some bird in a polo or something and ended up Cat D
