Cos500 are they actually boring? In what way do you mean

3dr

iTrader: (1)

Calm down, don't stress in sure you will get one, I mean it's not like you to be indecisive.

I love your stories, very Facebook like on here.

Cos500

I mean nothing notably different to any other bmw inside, I got used to the power delivery on the way home in it. If you've got or had a tuned cossie don't expect the power to come in like that, very smooth but sounds great.
I just found it annoying as a daily driver but you should get one, you might love it each to their own, hell my daily drive now is an old defender

Keep the Sierra for a few months after getting the m3 if you can Barry as you might find you miss the Sierra after a few months and want it back if you sell it as I did before when I bought a sensible daily fiesta for everyday use a few years ago, I ended up buying my Sierra back as I was shit bored with the fiesta

That's a good idea I may just sell the 500 kit off it to free up a bit of cash and stash the 3 door away

Harris.

I just looked at his website at the audi rs4 showing 106k but says in the add more like 130k ? Few cat d's there too so if you do get the car get it looked over .

Lovely cars really enjoyed owning mine, front discs were expensive, and rear tyres, make sure you read up about the rear subframe problems, I had my replaced by Bmw under good will on the warranty just before it was 10 years old, so it didn't cost me a penny, was very lucky to get it done!

thebigmacmoomin

Silver Grey with black leather

220tel

your mate looks really young to be driving that

madsi

he uses blocks on his feet like the chinese kid in indiana jones

plynchy

Had mine a year now.

Possibly one of the best mass produced n/a engines ever. Sounds fantatstic, goes pretty well considering the weight of it, and feels very, very well put together.

Could well bankrupt you if you buy a wrong 'un though.

I have just bought a supercharged 550bhp E46 M3. It is a fucking animal, never driven a car like it to be honest. Don't get me wrong, it's had money spent on ot in the right areas, big brakes & great suspension, but fuck me what a car! Makes my 911 turbo feel slow!

As a base car the E46M3 is great, but they do need a kick up the arse power wise, but as a balanced package for the money they are unbeatable. But FFS get the manual

dan le moignan

Myne from 5 years ago, had nothing but problems with it though!.
Boot floor cracked, engine lunched itself in the end when the vanos let go.
Also found it abit slow, e60 M5 was a massive step up!.

I've been in a 600bhp supercharged E46 M3 and driven a 600bhp E92 M3. Both were properly fast cars, you will have fun with that!

When it comes to standard E46 M3s I don't think they feel quick, or at least they don't anymore. The E92 M3 is a massive step up in every way though and with the new M3/M4 now here I imagine E92 prices are going to nose dive just like the E46 did.

Yours looked stunning. You pay good money for bms. Imo they shouldnt go wrong.

My wifes cousin bought a 12 reg 3 series. In the first 6 months of ownership it had a new water pump, alternator rear diff leaked drivers window stopped working. It also had a new osf lower suspension arm.
