Hi all, I saw a 3 series last week that had a full refresh, new paint, everything below solebar level also nice and fresh, could even clearly see the isolation cock labels etc. Is this a widespread refresh of the coastal 377s? Looked super smart, hopefully is a ongoing effort.

I bet it still had the nasty Connex beige walls unique to the /3s and early /1s.

Yes, the 377/3’s are now undergoing what looks to be C6 overhauls at Selhurst which includes exterior and interior refreshes.

Yes. No change there. But it looks like the slightly bouncier seating has been removed. Those early 377s had a spring in the seat in the housing under the seat cushion. This 'seems' to have gone.

Yes - concrete is the new UK standard for seat cushioning. It weighs a lot but is very durable...

That's good, I have been thinking they are in need of a freshen up, I recently got told they are halfway through thier life cycle? Which I guess would make sense for the freshen up?
