Replace it with a MK3 Focus RS? Why? This is a muuuch better car.

Looks awesome btw. Love the E90. Got an LCI saloon daily myself.

Why do you want to replace it with a Mk3 FRS?

Maybe you're in a same opinion as I was when I sold my M3 (E46) for my current RS - I just never connected with the M3. As soon as I gave the RS a good thrash, I instantly felt connected with the drive and it's so much more fun.

The M3 is a drivers car and needs to be driven hard to get the best out of them. I live in a corner of the lake district with the nearest motorway 50 miles/ hour away. A quick little 4wd car is much more fun to drive round the lakes, up and around passes like Hardknott and Wrynose.

Searched for ages for a white 4dr M3. Could only find one - but it was manual. Fancied the DCT!! Lovely car mate.

I was made a good offer on the CSL reps so I sold them, I've put the standard recut alloys on and have to admit I think it looks better. Also the car is so more responsive and seems to just like been on the road better. Just didn't realise how heavy the reps were and how much difference a heavy wheel makes, compared to the standard forged ones.
I know everyone raves about the michelin pilot super sports, but now it's back on Eagle F1's asymetrics they are a great all round tyre and it feels great.
