My Topaz blue was listed by the non BMW Main dealer as a "Titanium limited edition" in the adds last year when I got it but took it with a huge pinch of salt. Nothing else in any paper work or log book, refers to anything other than a 2.2i sport. Not fussed either way just love the car.

Stunned £180 odds, you must be 120 years old, driving a 10 speed push bike with 95 years no claims discount and your grandmother on the insurance. Good on you if you've got it. Some nice driving roads up your neck of the woods. I am surprised you can keep your mileage down to 6K a year.
