rs turbos DONT cost 1500 quid to service !!!!
engines for a m3 are gonna set you back 3k, diffs for a M3 is gonna cost you 450 quid, these are SECOND HAND PRICES, then theres the " needs to be put on a diagnostic machine" from the dealers at 100 quid plus vat per hour
now lets compare this to cowbois nova !
cost 400 quid to insure, cost the price of tax and mot,,,,, erm,,,,,, erm,,,
actually thats all its cost !!!, fucked rsturbos cost money,,,, but how good do you think a 5k m3 cabrio is gonna be on ebay ?
dont get me wrong, i doubt ill EVER stray from the BMW badge,, which is why im going for a parts rep position at euro car parts cause working at fords is NO benifit to me AT ALL these days,,, just helps you lot out ha ha
im prob gonna shot my 325 and get a 328i sport and play with that, just cause it suits my driving style even if it is a slow car the only other thing i may do is fit cossie engine to it but thats only if gracie looks into cossie engines into bmw's and ill buy 1 of everthing he makes ha ha ha

jim my style of driving has changed somewhat
i do alot of motorway driving due to me not using the car for work and due to me driving new cars when going to meeting ect and the practice i got when working at volvo having a company car i tend to drive over a ton on the motorways, alot of the time im sitting there one had on the wheel the other with a starbucks/relentless doing 120 to 130
now a new shape focus does 125 ( JUST but that is the 1.6 pfi vct engine so its impressive
) and i dont feel like im driving herbie but a erst,,,, sorry but there sooo much fun to rag the arse off,,,, get em to a ton and you FEEL like your car would over take madrods car and when you come off the power you feel like you cheated death
100mph in my bmw,,, im either tuning a station or worried ill fall a sleep at the wheel

If you are saying the running/servicing costs are comparable then you will be seriously woken up the first time you pick it up from BMW after it's inspection 1 service
Or maybe (as your post reads) you mean RS Turbo's cost Ł1500 to buy?
