nice but has no nav/harmon kardon folding mirrors or anything and i want all the whistles and toys
Love it, the colour, the wheels, NOT the splitter though, but you could easily live with it or take it off and put it back on when you sold it. Other than that, NICE car!
Mk - That is the one mate!!!!
Im after just the same as that Black is the only option for me.
Its just For sale a few months to soon...
Buy it and il buy it of you in a few months...

Alot of customers with individual colour cars get fed up with them..grey ones always sell no probs,as do carbon black.Best colour out there imho is individual bluewater similar to aurliss blue.

Noticed a few of them rusting at the seam at the rear panel & the quarter panel have a look for that.Nothing to do with bmw btw its on cars thats had the quarters painted at some point & left a dry edge.Worth checking as it creeps right under the rear bumper

The wheels on my old car are copy's beleive it or not.Identical apart from the writing between the bolt holes.Cant mind the company i got them from now it was 2 years ago..Black with the red leather fully loaded is mint.Mine was lowered 30mm as well makes them sit nice at the back as they sit high

Rare but marmite colour,
Has decent mods from the pic,
carbon ACS splitter and Csl alloys
lowered (eibach hopefully) or coiliovers even better
black is nice but dont forget its carbon black so looks navy blue in some light
buyers market for these at the moment

Agreed wheels and leave alone aslong as Black and red leather.
Im looking at getting one before the year is out, once the Fez is finished anyway.
Carlo, do you deal in new or used

When you buy an M3 and live with it for a bit Marc you are SOOOO going to KICK yourself soooo hard for not doing it years ago!!
You will deny it at first though!

plus i decided i can still use the m3 on track if its a non ford only day and the smg will come into its own then i spsoe
just been offered a full history,
53 plate
2 owner
33000 mile
carbon black with black nappa
19's
sat nav pro
harmon kardon
heated seats
folding mirrors
6 cd
etc etc etc
from a bmw dealer but offered it direct before they do any prep or anything as they have too much stock and took it in as a part ex so will be like buying private (ie - no warrenty or valet etc just how they took it in)
they want 16.5k
problem with shipping 1 down from another dealer is you get no leeway in the price you pay, better off driving to the dealer who has the car and bidding a better deal with them unless its the right car for already the right money your happy to pay

As long as its in good condition thats a good deal with that mileage and spec, Carbon black benefit from a detail as they are swirl mark city
Good heads up there mate , cheers for that, hope that one your looking at is a good un
Lovely Spec.
if i bought that i would be back to square 1 mate, a 650bhp escos is not an everyday car i would leave anywhere etc and it would break all the time knowing my luck so iwould need another 10k for a nice daily driver,
the m3 is nice, a bit more upmarket, reasonably quick, good fro everyday and will enjoy the track with decent brakes and tires

I have just bought 2003 SMG2 With 60k on carbon black, with tinted windows (not my taste) TV sat nav with 06 disc, red nappa leather, m3 private plate, new tyres all around 19inch wheels, new front brakes, full service history just service and mot'd in July, 12,800! just put csl wheels (copies like above) on and changed the tyres over sold the old 19's for Ł400.00 so it owes me about 13k now, Bargin, going to sell it soon before they loose to much money! Think the only thing it doesnt have is the sound upgrade and front heated seats.
PICS PLEASE
Lovely colour that Marc, although it was an option on E36's so may put people off?? (not sure!). Have you seen the Laguna Seca Blue? Got a soft spot for that blue, awesome in the flesh
