OK BIG clue for the technical amongst you (it's obviously not a motorbike)

 

 

 

 

This looks a lot like the transfer box from a Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R, and more so with the neons!  

[mac11irl]

i reckon..... 

 

 

shes gone and bought an M3.

 

been bangin on about its bucktooth grill growing on her... 

 

yup. its an m3. with the component sharing being with a mini

[skomaz]

I 'think' it might be a Supra???   or a Z4?

 

Actually given the BMW connection and 'selling to another BMW dealer'...   it's got to be Z4...   or a Supra!

 

In fact I reckon she's been a  bit sneaky as the vent picture is a Supra but the hazard switch is a Z4 so she's been deliberately confusing us with  her new Wilberpog!

that last vent is definitely a Supra...   as is the suspension piccie.

 

But the volume knob and hazard switch is Z4...

These photos might not even be connected to any car she's buying.

Now that could be true and I wouldn't put it past someone who names her cars wilberpog and keeps a George in the cellar for a rainy day...

Thought I'd succumb to the temptation and google that suspension image @Lady Elanore 

 

Shanks's Pony my lord! So I can confidently say it's a push bike  Because 1 google result cannot be wrong. Actually loads of dodgy as heck links and one for evanscycles...

 

 

 

 

Ha ha. I have 5 bikes at home and can only ride one of them thanks to dodgy knee syndrome 😞

 

I'll be honest, I've been spinning the images around so that it's not totally obvious which way is the correct orientation.

So they are from the car you're buying? Or are we guessing random cars?

I think you will find they are 😛  I might give up and post something a bit more obvious next, if anyone is still interested

I hope the lady has done the Simply Clever thing and the Car in Front will be a Toyota, a Yaris and a Rally breed one. 

 

I wish. I was chatting with a chap on the M3cutters forum and he reckoned it's taking at least a year to get one! Fantastic car and the one I would choose for when I retire (or similar if we are still allowed cars then)

You have good mechanical knowledge sir, but it's not a Nissan

Well the Toyota Supra shares a lot with the BMW range

The vent knob I posted was from a Supra as I think it's the same knob as found in other cars.

All in the correct order, but not necessarily in the right cars  

 

 

I'll post up a bit of a clincher

You have to look at the small reflection in the back of the shot....

 

 

 

 

 

... or do you?

Sorry Amanda but ewww...

 

However iTs yours and if you like it that's great.

[Lady Elanore]

It's not actually that one, I can't afford all the extra carbon fibre bits, but it is the same colour, I've gone for the poverty spec end of M3 motoring (still not a cheap PCP monthly even with the equity in my old M4 😞 ), although it does have an extra pair of driven wheels if required

Not a car, but a building on a Personchester trading estate?

Ah but a closer look will reveal it's a LHD car. I'm hoping to get it next March, although probably will be around June the way the delays are growing at present. Thats allegedly the same colour as I specced, but it's not mine, I can't afford the extra bits of body kit 

[mac11irl]

@skomaz if you put your thumb over the grill in the pics, it dramatically changes the look of it and its much easier to look at.

 

 

 

@Lady Elanore if youre happy with it, and are in a position to put tge money in it.... why not?? enjoy it when it arrives, and enjoy the anticipation of said arrival

 

 

[Lady Elanore]

If you are driving it, you aren't having to look at it. Win Win 

 

Btw this isn't a garage queen, it's going to be used for work as much as anything

Tried that @mac11irl and you're right it does help and I guess there are aftermarket bumpers now available to fix the nose...
