It looks similar doesn't it and that's no bad thing I bought mine last April and I used it right up until I broke my ankle in late June and bought my latest Impreza in October

It's just sat in my garage now and I rarely use it but that's because it's soooooo nice to drive that I don't want to ruin it

It's a stunning car but I feel bad using it and I'm so worried about it getting damaged that it just sits in my garage at the moment lol I might use it for my holiday in Cornwall again in May lmao

I need my head testing, 555 Impreza sti used daily, M3 sat not used in the garage

Thats wot i was like with my 3dr/escort cossie's and one of the main reasons why i got rid of them coz i wanted a everyday day with abit of everything and the M3 has that.

Totally different car jeff m8, this is the first non turbo car ive owned and the power delivery is so different to the cossie's but a lot of people say that a M3 would keep up with a stage 3 cossie, having owned the 3dr which was stage 3 and now the M3 i would say the 3dr is the quicker car by far!! lol still miss it m8

Car looks brilliant. I love the M3 in silver.
My Lad has one of these in Carbon Black.
CS with the proper CSL body kit and supersprint exhaust.



My cossie beats it down the quarter. But he's getting closer.

Regards Paul.

Looks like a lovely one mate and in all honestly a much more useable car than a cossie. Cossie as a weekend car but these you could use as your everyday car to as long as you can hack the fuel bill.
