So, pretty much all standard 10 year old M3 things then? I wouldnt worry about any of it tbh, mostly DIY, apart from the subframe, which will be £1000 or so from that lot everyone uses on M3cutters now - not Reddish.

187k when i sold it iirc. Blew up shortly after on track, due to (more than likely) a lack of heel & toe/over rev on downshift.

If you do, drive something sh1t between the Z4M and the M135i lol, then you'll think its amazing. The steering is awful & they roll around like a 7 series with a f*cked rear damper, lots of potential, not realised by bmw unfortunately. Great engine however, albeit a bit dull sounding.

I think this is fairly special tbh: Personally, i love them, have been looking at them as a daily.

Ah, thought i recognised the car from CS lol!!! Hope you had as good as day as we did :cool: Yup, im a very lucky guy!!! She's actively encouraging me to get another booked now ... After i drove Feirnys' Elise, she even said i could buy one as well if i wanted, but only if i gave her the mini...

This. You'd be better off putting a plastic bag full of bees & dandelions over your ITB's than that thing.

Excellent work lol!!

Thats the sort of thing i wear to wash the car tbh. Deck shoes are for use with water after all ... Invisible socks are required though, as per Waitey's outfit. No gillet though? Disappoint.

With the gearbox problems/accident damage, im not sure you're going to get what your asking for unfortunately. Perhaps fix it up (on credit card), then list it for its full value? Also, as you bought it from a dealer only 4 months ago, you should be able to talk to them about getting the gearbox...

Turinis = CS approval lol. Looks lovely!

And so to Donington, finally managed to do it in a car without any problems!!! Wahoo lol. Good to see @Brett, @Feirny (Lotus nom nom nom) & @Ph1 Tom - hope you all had as good a day as we did :cool: A couple of friends came up for passenger rides in the morning (Tom was supposed to be doing the...

Plenty of badmanz on cutters that will buy it if you do change your mind lol

The front splitter should only be fitted if you are considering moving to Bradford. Other than that, keep up the good work!!

Off to Donington tomorrow, so popped over to a friends to get my R888's out of his garage - his missus has a hyper blue facelift mini one, so thought a picture would be a good idea. Love how much more aggressive mine looks, such a great little car!!!

Its also because no one really knows how to fix the SMG when it breaks, & the major parts that break, cant really be rebuilt. Just like the DCT. So when its under warranty, its not a problem, but when the prices drop & they get to 10 years old, manual makes far more sense, hence the prices rise!!

You mentioned it in Barron's M3 thread ;) Glad to hear you're enjoying it.

EFA. Car looks lovely though :cool:

Looks like a great trip! Do you have any pictures of the interior? I believe yours is a manual one?

Oh. Proper brakes. Rare!!!

Lovely heel & toe! Very refreshing to see someone has mastered the techniques required for proper track driving ... Next time wear loafers with white socks though if you are running a pedal cam :wink:

Sorry to hear this Mark, hope you're both ok!

Mk6's are mega expensive, £17k+. The new Golf R's are excellent deals on lease, but for the same money, i got RightWD instead :wink:

Totally forgot they even made them lol! Edit. They are mega expensive!!!

HAHA. I was going to post that car as well, but thought that seeing as i mention turinis on every wheel thread, i probably shouldnt lol.

Having owned quite a few Clios (inc. Trophy's), the only ones with rusty rear arches (as per the OP's picture) were accident damaged/fixed with non-genuine parts.

19's look too large, but aftermarket 18's look too small!

I actually prefer the look of the Golf tbh, although understand that they never did a haldex 2.0 turbo which limits your options. Personally, id have to fit 19" BBS CK's and coilovers the day i bought one for its dullness to not upset me.

Looks like a brilliant trip! We've done very similar over the years :cool:

Looks flipping epic! Sarahs dad finally put a deposit on a Dynamic R on Sat as well. Must be Jaaaaaaag shopping week.
