Been looking around for a M3 EVO for a few months now. Found a really good one, went to see it tonight and it's bang on. However, it's silver and I really ain't fussed for that colour on M3s. Should I buy it or wait until a decent coloured one comes along, which could take months. Driving me nuts and need to decide by tomorrow

What they look like in silver

 

Hang on, you'll only regret it later imo.

 

If it's not what you really want then wait until the right car comes along. You'll kick yourself later otherwise

 

love the m3 evo but same as you not sure on the silver,,,

would have to be estoril blue/techno violet/dakar yellow


if your not sure then you dont want it,,,

get the colour you want even if you have to wait,,,your regret it otherwise

 

Thing is, to find them in this condition is pretty hard, it's minty mint and service history is perfect to say the least and it is about 1- 1.5k cheaper than say an Estoril would be. Hard to walk away from a straight, perfect car

 

Weigh everything up pros and cons put them on a piece of paper then make a descison

looks good in yellow !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

James - don't. You have an M3, and so going to the Evo is probably more about passion than pefrmance. And for that, u need the right car.

 

Nice Car,

My Brother has a 1998 M3 EVO Saloon in techno violet, silver leather, 18" schnitzer wheels, ACE cars.

 

My mates selling his Evo, Silver again, black leather, mint car, only wants 6k or summat cause its not got history even tho its proper mint, hes crazy, its an awesome car.

 

6k? I want! Love those cars. Not a BM fan at all, sommat about the m3 36 though.

 

Bought it, too good to turn down in the end. Easy make my money back if I really get sick of the colour. Collect it on Tuesday. Awesome car tho

 

 

Nice looking car in any colour IMO

 

Your car will come I really wanted a E46 M3 in steel grey and red leather and couldn't find one in good nick for a while, then I got a call from a dealer with a Silver/Grey (CSL colour which is very slightly lighter and replaced the steel grey on '53) with red nappa and it was perfect

 

made right choice, silver ain't ugly by any stretch and that cars looks soooooooo mint...

 

What a boring car to drive ul be wanting a bit of turbo power in no time

 

i like them in silver , the yellow colour is so yesterday

 

Think I prefer the silver one a lot more than a yellow one!!!

 

The problem with that dakar yellow one is it has the newer M3 wheels whick dont suit that style of M3. Had only seen the car in the showroom and TBH it looks far better in real light. Was interesting to do back to back comparisson with the M3 and M3 Evo

 

from that pic looks like door and front section of R/1/4 has bee painted... but probably light and angle

 

is it a much better drive than the standard m3 james?

 

It ain't that car, just an example

 

try the independent motor company for a m3 evo, they usually have around 20 m3s in and theyve got the best prepard cars ive ever seen. its in newbury, check out the website.

my od man bought one from there about 3years ago, a estrial blue late modle e36 with 14000 miles on the clock, mint dont come close mate

 

Looked at them, trouble was price. They're expensive. I.E. same car as mine, same mileage, same condition and on a R reg, mine's on a S Ł11995, mine Ł9995

 

Picking it up tomorrow, getting quite excited

 

It feels a lot stronger top end than the standard M3 and gets there faster. Did a back to back test up from the garage on the short part of dual carrigeway and I was just about 15mph up on the M3 on the same stretch. 6 speed box is cool and handles impeccably and more toys.

 

Lovely looking cars regardless of colour IMO. Nice purchase

 

I felt like you James about silver, I wasn't too fussed about a colour but silver wasn't near the top of the list. I found the perfect car, an absolute minter and you've guessed it..... it was silver! I didn't hesitate in putting down a deposit on it though, it stood out a mile above others I'd been to see, I'd been looking for 2 months as well and I can't wait to pick it up.

 

Evos have worse gearboxes with the six speed, twin vanos units are well talked about, and 30bhp more.

As for back to back comparison.....

spoiler has a slightly different shape, diferent rocker cover, and the leather inserts on the door cards of Evo are real leather, most come with shark tooth wheels but it was optional
