Yep, ours are twins, even down to the lotus white covered roll hoops:thumbsup:. Looks like a sport with the brushed aluminium centre console.
Did you try the VIN checker?
Yeah is a sport, I managed to speak to the guy at the garage who actually dealt with the sale in 2002.
Surprisingly he is still at the dealership, he checked it out, The colour combo as with yours appears to be very rare.
I was also told that it as presumably yours is a limited edition sapphire, but I thought sapphire limited was always black, I must be wrong.

I think the terminology is getting confused. I've not heard of 'limited edition sapphire' where did that come from? Mine is definitely an Individual as it has the sticker on the N/S in the engine compartment.

Re wheels both mine have 17" style 78s in a staggered set up. Not sure 18" were available as an option.

On the VIN Checker they come out as : S278 - BMW LA wheels with mixed tyres

Yes mine does as well, but from what I gather individual only relates to the paint colour, limited edition came from the dealership. The wheels are mixed as well. I haven't looked at VIN checker, thanks for that I'll give it a go
