Nice car, never driven one, had a play with one a while ago though, sounded very nice and went pretty well too  One of the best colours for them too, IMO. ________________________________________ 1999 Gaystone blue '6,1990 sierra cosworth 4x2 |

They're 400bhp V8's. The fella over the road has coupe one in a very similar colour to the Lotus <<<<<His sounds f**king awesome when he starts it. Talk about bursting into life  He's selling it due to running costs now tho. He's had several other M3's and he says this one is by far a lot more to keep and run than any of his others. £460 to tax it for a start! Oh and £40 worth of fuel is gone in a blink of an eye. ________________________________________ My old man wrote me a letter from prison once.

Oh and £40 worth of fuel is gone in a blink of an eye. running costs arent that bad tbh,im averaging 23mpg at the moment,and on a long run 28-30 mpg is easily achieveable!the sound of the engine when it springs into life makes it all worth it!!  |

Really not a fan of the saloon version.gthere is a gorgeous cabbie for sale at a place by me http://www.streben.com/used-bmw-m3-stoke-on-trent-staffordshire-342664 although the interior colour is a bit nasty. ________________________________________ suck my plums! |

Awesome machines. I'd love one. I even prefer the 4dr to the coupe. Looks quite stealthy in a way. Any pics of the interior etc etc?________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?

Most newer BM's i think look better proportioned in 4 door, i'm currently smoking round in an e46 330d 4dr, they look so much better than the coupe.________________________________________ 1999 Gaystone blue '6,1990 sierra cosworth 4x2 |

Looks a nice car. Sounds about the same running costs as a scoob. 500 quid of tyres there easy. It is a shame running costs spoil my car time.

Well done to you sir! Very nice motor. I could always hear a lovely V8 rumble ouside my house in the mornings, and I finally caught sight of it the other day and it was one of these, albeit in the coupe guise.________________________________________ 1992 Onyx Black 205 GTI-62005 Honda S2000 (Sold) 2002 Audi S3 (Sold) 2005 Clio 182 Trophy (sold) |

i love the understated 4dr guise of it,nobody expects it to be as bonkers as it is!haha!as for tyres,michelins for the rear are £320 each,and the fronts are £256 each!so its not cheap in any way,but it makes even the drive to work exciting,and you dont have to drive it hard to enjoy it!im more than happy cruising in 6th at 35mph!it is the ultimate driving machine,believe the hype!! |

I'd imagine the running costs of this would make a scoob look like a 1.5d 106 tbh! |

Great choice, would love one of these in a few years. They really disguise their weight for such a large car, you can really chuck it about and the noise is sublime. |

for the size of car,its very nimble and agile,and it gives you loads of confidence.at 1600kg its not that light,but compare it to my previous car-a 123d m-sport coupe,its not that much heavier,it weighed in at 1482.5kg on the corner weights.bmw went to town keeping the weight down on this,alloy bonnet and bootlid,plastic wings etc,the big V8 weighs less than the previous straight six found in the E46,so all in,not too shabby for a modern car with all the toys on it! |
