After coming very close to buying an ///M on a couple of occasions previously. I've finally pulled the trigger and got myself an M3.

It's got 40k miles, Full BMW History, 1 previous owner from new and is in fantastic condition.

I took lots of photos the car since it was a nice day at the weekend after I collected it and had given my old dears TTRS a wash, so there's a couple of them together as well..... sorry for the amount of photos, I got carried away!!
















































I want to say a real big thank you to Carlo for checking the history of the car out for me before I went through with the deal. Once again buddy, I'm owe you a few beers!!


Cheers,
Grant

Yep got rid of the 123d... was a fantastic wee car, but wasn't quite 'special' enough to have as a car that will only cover 5-6k miles a year at most. I should have bought an E46M instead of the 123d with hindsight, but my circumstances made the 123d a more sensible purchase at the time.

Yup, I'm not wanting to get rid of the ST200....... however, I might have to consider it and get hold of an estate car instead. But I'll likely shed a tear as it burble's off into the distance, cause I genuinely love that car.


Cheers,
Grant

The M3 is a nice car.

My sisters boy friend has a 120d and he thinks its the quickest and fastest car ever.He reckons he nacked a mk2 frs the other day and he said he was doing 150mph.

I've been considering one of these to replace my focus rs since I joined passionbmw when I bought my 5 series. I'm tempted by smg but having seen the videos it looks not all that.

Saw steveB's csl on sat and that's sexy!!

Bet the M3 feels a hoot to drive compared to the 123d even though the 123 was fast in its own right, big power turbo diesels don't seem as spectacular as high revving petrol engines somehow.
