... you do something, and it seems like a good idea at the time.. then you suddenly think maybe it wasnt...
-
Haha! Awesome! I'd love of these, my concern is the running costs (and insurance costs).
Definitely nothing to regret!
-
And you're planning on buying a house when?
-
Nice 8) how much is the road tax on an M3?
-
The one in the window cost £245
-
You're absolutely mental, but you only live once. If it isn't going to bankrupt you, fair play!
-
And you're planning on buying a house when?
Hmm not sure, shouldnt be tooo much of an issue since I have had a 75% increase in pay over the last 6 months. :rock:
-
How much did that cost? Shame you bought a silver one! I assume you haggled with them?
-
Yeah silver wasnt really my ideal colour but will do and hides marks well.
was just over £8k
-
What's up with the silver!? I really like it :w00t: what size are those rims? 19s?
-
Prefer a darker colour tbh but it does look good in silver
they are 19" CSL wheels
-
8k's a good price, high mileage?
-
8k's a good price, high mileage?
Yeah 120k :( but still going rather well
-
About average for the age, and looks in good condition as far as I can tell, my Mondeo's done 151k although it's not really comparable as mines a TDCI
-

Silver cars are way to popular, and m3's look better in Blue/Red
-

That's the same as my little mini, so really ain't too bad, proper mint car you got there :ptu:
-
Collected it this evening, in the dark and rain, the place had piles of slush and hail around and it was sleet falling when I collected it.
Ideal time to by a powerful RWD convertible.. :muttley:
-
lol.... pity the weather was so bad, you'd have been scared to put your foot down....
i know my 3 series used to hold the ground like crazy... 90' corners at 40mph weren't even tricky.... the only probably was when it did let go.... it would hold on forever and then suddenly send you spinning :o
and that was a diesel.... yours will be a totally different animal :o
-
Howcome the car tax on an M3 is so cheap :-X ? I thought I was doing well paying £210 a year for mine :dunno:
-
Collected it tuesday night, done around 160 miles in it so far.. and so far its :ptu:
However despite driving it carefully i have seen the TC light a few times! the computer is showing a healthy 21.8mpg as well at the moment and still climbing so all good :muttley:
A few photos snapped today in the light (needs a wash!)

Got a crack that's several inches long in the region of the rear left sub frame mount.
Common issue on E46's
The car is now back with the dealer for a repair and if they cant/wont I'll be having my money back as that should never have passed an MOT.
-
How did you spot that?
-
Easy to see when you have it on a 4 post lift and are looking for it.
:tinhat:

Any updates?
Sent from my GT-I9000 whilst driving.

The car went back to the trader on Saturday
I told them I wouldn't take it back unless it was repaired to BMW standards.
Today I call them to be told its fixed.
They took it not to the specialist they told me would handle it, but instead to the MOT place that failed to spot it in the first place who happily ran a welder over it to cover their arse.
f**kers! BMW would have replaced the floor and reinforced with an epoxy foam.. this is not the repair I asked for.
So now its just arguing until they either repair it like I asked for or give me my damn money back! I am fuming!
