After coming very close to buying an ///M on a couple of occasions previously. I've finally pulled the trigger and got myself an M3.

It's got 40k miles, Full BMW History, 1 previous owner from new and is in fantastic condition.

I took lots of photos the car since it was a nice day at the weekend after I collected it and had given my old dears TTRS a wash, so there's a couple of them together as well..... sorry for the amount of photos, I got carried away!!
















































I want to say a real big thank you to Carlo for checking the history of the car out for me before I went through with the deal. Once again buddy, I'm owe you a few beers!!


Cheers,
Grant

 

So you have got rid of your 1 series bm then.I didnt even know that you still had the mondy.

 

Yep got rid of the 123d... was a fantastic wee car, but wasn't quite 'special' enough to have as a car that will only cover 5-6k miles a year at most. I should have bought an E46M instead of the 123d with hindsight, but my circumstances made the 123d a more sensible purchase at the time.

Yup, I'm not wanting to get rid of the ST200....... however, I might have to consider it and get hold of an estate car instead. But I'll likely shed a tear as it burble's off into the distance, cause I genuinely love that car.


Cheers,
Grant

 

The M3 is a nice car.

My sisters boy friend has a 120d and he thinks its the quickest and fastest car ever.He reckons he nacked a mk2 frs the other day and he said he was doing 150mph.

 

Quite some guy then Glenn


Lovely car, there's one in my street 2. They look must cooler then the E36 M3 and they have a nice sound

Good choice keeping the ST

 

Proper car is the E46 M3 Manual..............Good choice

 

Stunning Grant, loving both the TT & M3.

Nice house you have aswell mate.

 

I fucking hate those solar panels, look complete shite stuck on the roof!

 

Oh, the m3 looks good tho

 

Looks stunning mate no probs sorry for the delay on the info

 

Welcome to the club mate

theres a few of us on here now haha

At least you got a 'proper' manual one!!! alot of fun

 

Looks a nice low mileage example... Lot of car for the money these now

 

I've been considering one of these to replace my focus rs since I joined passionbmw when I bought my 5 series. I'm tempted by smg but having seen the videos it looks not all that.

Saw steveB's csl on sat and that's sexy!!

 

ST200 Estate

Bet the M3 feels a hoot to drive compared to the 123d even though the 123 was fast in its own right, big power turbo diesels don't seem as spectacular as high revving petrol engines somehow.

 

Pfttttttt them E46 M's are just slow pish mate. I'd rather have a stage 3 sierra sapphire any day of the week.

 

Nice purchase G - I knew it wouldn't be long until you got one.

Are you coming to the Aberdeen Ford meet next Saturday?

 

Lovely!

But

Clean that shit out of your garage and get them 2 indoors and under cover!

 

You got one yet Smit?????

 

Both lovely cars I saw a tt rs being chased by police in uxbridge Middlesex couldn't believe how quick it looked!

 

Dan - The Cossie love came back when I ditched the girlfriend

 

Smit i thought your girlfriend liked the saff.

 

Talking about the old girlfriend Glenn... Who ditched me

The new one Loves the Cossie
