saw it mate topaz blue is a very nice colour but im sure for £12995 its not a really nice example....i bet its stone chipped to fook/wheels all curbed and the leathers damaged etc......if its not then someone at the dealer is messed up or its sold

420 BHP from a V8 - Nice!

Also, they have designed out much of the 'Chav' of the older one

New one will be awsome - the chassis is meant to be unbelievably good...

Only due to it's extra capacity, and despite that, I know which one would be the more rewarding to drive .

It deffo does - but then it is supercharged and over 1.5litres bigger

Been for a ride in my mates SL55 AMG after the tune up (570bhp ish now). Absolutely stunning. Almost surreal! Good job they have bends on the road, else I wouldnt have been able to keep up with him

Yes, the F1 driver's choice who works for Mclaren Mercedes . Same as the NSX is the choice for the Honda team drivers, and the 430 etc for the Ferrari team drivers. I bet they're thankful Skoda doesn't have an F1 team .

My god they have come down with a bang over the last year. I remember about 12 months ago, you'd struggle to get a high mile Y plate for £20k, now it seems you can take your pick with £16k for one with reasonable miles. As nice as the e46 m3's are, im so glad i bought the cossie instead as i hate to lose money on cars and £4k+ in one year would have killed me!!!

Just imagine when the new one comes out too.

Thats nothing to boast about my mear 3ltr Diesel produces that and still gets nearly 50mpg

Damn shame its going in few hours

IMO M3 wont come down that much quicker, as they will soon level off. We will see........ I would love for them to come down as i might be able to get one then aswell as house
