hope the bmw cars will not loose too much money in the time you own them.

the rs cars seem to be staying put or rising in value.

very nice cars though and i was looking at them myself,even made an offer on Paul Ripleys car, but he decide not to sell it just yet.

 

Dave there are planty out there & i know a guy who can check them out for you

 

JUST DRIVE THE COSSIE THATS WHAT THEY WERE BUILT FOR

 

dont get me wrong, the cossies are great cars in there own right, ive grown old with them, but every car will need money spent on it, i mean i spent fortunes on the cossies i had, but i love the m3, only want a cossie to feel the bang in the back again, when turbo kicks in, if i could afford it, i would have both, lol

 

Mk1 FRS is a bit special, but in terms of capability there's really no comparison. In the right hands the E46 is a far more capable car than even the Mk2 FRS.

The M3 does have an image problem as some have pointed out, all BMW's seem to go this way as values drop below 15k.

 

thanks Carlo, but i bought the black escort now lol.

porcshe,bmw cars....i get another Ford.

 

lol we always go back for some reason i thought for a min you wanted one as well as the escort

 

Ha know what ya mean ive a 10k capri that hasnt moved in 2years
I just bought another cheap 2.8 to feed my addiction
Keep the cossie and dare i say buy a nissan 200sx and whack boost up for cheap fun toy. ya can buy cheap jap import ones for peenuts at the min

 

i have not left yet and tried lol.

got the jag and bmw, but there diesels,not the same.

got no room Carlo or i would have more cars,5 is enough.

 

ive got an m3, from a 350bhp 2wd, was good for 5 months then got seriously boring, so i stripped the fooker out, added some racing seats a diff, some shocks etc etc, now i have a 345bhp track car, then it wasent so boring anymore!

m3 on the road zzzzzzzzzz

 

The speed thing dont realy matter to me as i live in Guernsey with a speed limit of 35mph nice to have abit of power when i go away tho.

 

Focus rs

I have a nice one for sale in cars for sale section.

 

lmao someone needs to log off the puma forums and step away from the keyboard

M3, get it bought you know it makes sense.

 

Carlo - I know your clued up with the E46 M3's would you be able to provide some kind of buying guide for manual n SMG? As i've seen one i quite fancy but have no idea what to look for!

Cheers,

 

Smit just pm me any questions mate unfortunetly im not back at work till the 4th of january so wont be able to check it for you

 

Have you actually driven an FRP on a bendy road or track?

 

you thinking of leaving the scene Mark?

you hve had the saff a good while now.

 

Me too please Carlo.

 

you joining us Germans Paul?

 

Nowt wrong with the SMG but it's down to choice.
Mine is SMG and i love it to bits. 2yrs now and countless track days, love it.

Drive both and make your own mind up.

 

everybody pankicks about smg because the internet we have seen them that dont fail then there is the odd one that needs a smg relay or a pump that can be expensive but might never happen its not like you buy smg & think its gonna go anytime! i know a smg one thats done 140k miles & only ever been serviced , ball joints & rear springs ! just pure luck they drive very very nice & go well. its all down to what you prefer i would have a smg one ! its like buying a x5 3.0d 7 thinking is the turbo going to go might never happen

 

both are decent cars in there on right however as a lump of metal the m3 would win hands down in every area.

M3 would be quicker by a long way
more toys inside
probably more comfy
rwd
etc

Plus you just jump in an m3 and drive it and dont need to fuck about with it and want big exhasts and big turbos and remaps to make it interesting. I can guarentee a standard focus wuld get boring way more quickly than a standard m3

 

M3 for me everytime

 

i,d go for and going for one
m3 without a doubt
i want a silver grey rag top around march/april

 

Haha!

I'll be messaging you on the playstation then as i'm sure you haven't got that at work

Hi Dave - I'm thinking about it yes, would have had the Saff 10years on 19th January, seems like a nice round ownership fiqure.

Thing is i still LOVE driving the Cossie every single time (Maybe not when it breaks lol) but a friend has just got a E46 and it just ooozes appeal. Didn't expect to get sucked in, but it really has...

Thing is the only colour i would have is Imola Red one, but as it was a limited colour they seem to be a tad more pricey against a normal colour (blue/grey) reguardless of history/condition.

 

Thinking about it mate.

 

Phoenix yellow is where it's at bud, (was undecided on it until recently)
M8 of mine has recently bought one and turned up at the door with it all sparkly after a detail and its actually a stunning colour. Bit like the green FRS, looks quite naff IMO until your up close and see the flip in the paint etc at which point it looks stunning.
He has some CSL rims on his and it just looks amazing.

 

When it's a different colour it's quite eye catching!

Also sucks you in a bit more when do look round it
