Porkie my tuned sl55 is no less faster than a 430 in a straight line, it blows my m5 away!

600bhp/602ftlb torque what is the 430? Whats its top speed faster than 208mph? Or even a stock sl's 202? Or even the stock m5 204? I know your 430 is quicker than the m5 accelarating but the sl no way! Equal maybe!

Phil Lee was saying he knows the 430 is slower!!!



Out the 3 id say the M6 is the car for you Porkie. M3 will be too small although it would be my choice. The RS4 wouldnt even be in my consideration. I think they're pretty overrated.

I've autho'd repairs to loads of 645's with cracked wheels, they go exactly the same as the 3 series with 18's and 19's fitted with run flats. Watchdog even featured it. BMW wouldn't except it was a problem at first but we have had some success with getting them to pay for some recently.

We must have missed them in our dealerships then furry! yes we have done loads of E92 19" wheels! If the run out is greater than .6 they are not warranty.

As for the running in service its VERY important as alex says but takes one simple phone call to the supplying dealer i wouldnt trust what is stamped in the book.
But lee is not short of a bob or two so im sure he will be buying the right car anyway & not siving through the lower price bracket to try find one thats just ok.

Thats a good point Carlo!

Far too easy to get a meaningless stamp

I cant wait to get an M6 - but the accountant says its a bit much as a company demonstrator LOL

Thing is alex IF it were my money it would be a E60 M5 just because im not rich & i would save about 14k because the new m3 cab is 40k I also like the M6 they go great although they are marmite cars you either love or hate them i love everything about the M6 just not set on the looks 100%. If money wasnt that much of a option it would defo be a white M3 cab with red leather 7 speed smg box.. But you would really need to drive them all & see! if you had a 911 turbo & a ferarri a big comfy fast M6 cab sounds perfect as well. Its a hard life ehh lee
