Default E46 M3 convertible- A bit of a chav like image?

http://pictures.autotrader.co.uk/ATD...a?id=566082113

On the hunt for one of these, mind is made up, I know what spec I want until.....

one of the boys in the office announces that they are for burberry wearing chavs

Surely not?

E36 - yeah.

E46 - No.

E46 is classy IMO, E36 is far from it.

Usually I don't care what people think, but sinking Ł20k+ into a car is a big deal for me!

I disagree, E46 convertibles are not owned by what we all consider CHAVs to be.

They are for BIPPETS.

These are CHAVS that scraped their way up the slippery social ladder and got themselves jobs, probably selling other peoples houses, mobile phones or IT software/hardware.

They are the ones you see wearing Moschino, with tapered jeans at the bottom, Mr Whippy gelled up hair cuts and clutching onto their newest model mobile phone in their hand ALL THE TIME.

I bet you all know who I'm talking about.

And as for above, race doesn't come into it.

Exactly, there's only one human race. Skin colour means nothing, previous generations may not have seen it that way, but we do.

And anyway, I'd love a new M3, and I wouldn't give a fuck what anyone thought of me having it.

I think that's what it's all about tbh, some people can't stand to see others of prehaps a 'lesser social standing' do better than them.

as it goes, theres a couple of burbury wielding chavs rolling round my area in e46 m3 convertibles, one gold with 20's, and one black with a kit and splities.

theres some rich daddys about,
i do find them chavy and think the e36 is more understated (get with no rear spioler)


and theres no jelousey in it, one has previously resided on my drive way

Me either

BTW I've got an E36 325, V reg Convertible for sale here if any bippets want one? Estoril Blue! Lovely colour....

In fairness, most E46 convertibles [non M3's] round here seem to be driven by women nudging towards 40 that can often be seen, when not in the car, "power walking" with a friend in matching nike 2-sets, holding one of those silly fist grab water bottle things and a jumper tied around their waist to cover a fat arse.

I DO like to generalise

Back on topic though, I love M3's, they never cease to put a smile on my face when driving. I've not had a convertible E46 yet but have had a hard top and a few E36 Evos and stuff with a drop top.

But the one I would really like to try is a Z3M. Gay as you like but even the 1.9's always manage to put a massive grin on my face

If i had one it would have to have the roof down ALL the time when it was not raining. Otherwise whats the point in buying a convertible? lol. Cool cars imo. Ok you see some chavy like rich kids driving them, but im pretty sure there is a LOT more "chavs" i have seen with Cossies and RST's so does that also make them chav cars? Its not one rule for one etc....

Hell yeah! After the Capri became less popular in the early 90's it's thanks to RS owners that the jewellery department of Argos didn't go out of business!

Watch out Rhys.... The Type R is next....

It is a stupid image.

There are lots, and i mean lots of E46's here - but i still like them, good cars. All the manchester RSOC members are a bunch of buffty toffs - defo not chavs. Seems like if you live in south east, then it's every car with some sort of pedigree is a chavs car...

I have never seen a guy in a drop top that looked cool, they looked like a drug dealer who had made some money getting scrotes to do his dirty work, and now wanted to scream I HAVE MONEY" in order to enable him to have 16 year old bints let him bang them while their boyfriend sell his drugs
