I'm not a fan of it to be perfectly honest matey!

Never really liked that shape, look a bit bland for my liking.

Makes a change. It's not me that's going to get in trouble for suggesting that the M3 is anything other than the bestest car ever in the history of everything

Yes BALLIN that very one! I got fed up with my evo 6 with 306.6 bhp ATW and doing 100 miles to a tank driving gently so i bought this....

Sit at 70-80 and it does 35mpg. Is quiet, comfortable, reasonably nippy and still looks nice considering its 8 years old.

It is actually cleaner than the pictures suggest.

I've owner a 400 hp 4x4 Cosworth too and i have to say this car is very impressive. ( in a bland normal way )


CARLSWORTH i didnt buy it to say look i have a M3 but merely to have a c ar to use all the time and be able to park it places and it not to stand out hence i bought a old bmw....which you seem to have in your sig anyway.

ADUZ.....get over it! Chav biker

Expensive cars , you can pick a decent M3 up for 6 grand you fuckin goon , christ some people pay more than that for old sierras

hence i bought a old bmw....which you seem to have in your sig anyway

yes, but the difference is, mine has character....
also,...i bought it as a runnerbout, that i can abuse and reverse into bollards if i wish and not be arsed about,....


Expensive cars , you can pick a decent M3 up for 6 grand you fuckin goon
you obviously like to sleep with animals,...
you can pick a m3 for 6k,..right, well you can pick up a cossie for 2.5k....demick,....
comparing 2 totally different price ranges is not the greatest display of intelligence.....

Total bollocks! they are great cars and a performance BARGAIN now!!!

Really good all rounders...

They make GREAT budget endurance race cars as well. A well prepped one can be very competitive in its class for not a lot of money!

My cossie is a stage 1 and pulls away from an m3 in 5th so its not much of a bargain is it seeing as acossie is half the price. I could be wrong though

I think they are.

A cheap Cossie is silly fast for the money in a straight line.... once or twice anyway! Then boom

There is alot more to a performance car than just straight line speed as well!
