I found an BMW 325i Touring. RWD, 5MT, Sport, Oxford Green over Natural Brown. Something I've wanted for a while but have never been able to buy as the Oxford green tourings usually sell very quickly.

I still have the JCW but this car isn't getting used much so it'll get sold. Going to list tonight/tomorrow.
