I didn't rise to it mate, but agree with you 100%!

Well there's the usual argument on old v new (as with 182/197/200 on here) but I think the E46 is a chunk cheaper to run day to day, as well as being cheaper from the outset, and supposedly much better and more fun to drive. To be honest I probably just should have said M3 in general.

For me it's the E46 M3 (not just because I have one)! Fast, economical enough to justify, special to drive, big boot, can travel with 5 in complete comfort, all the toys, great looks. Could also argue the point with an RS4 avant but I think I'd rather the M3.

Yeah he seems to have good reviews and certainly talks the talk on the phone! Had booked in with BMW but he's half the price and hopefully will actually do what's needed! Have you used him before then?

Yeah they're on the list along with a few other bits and bobs. Hopefully over christmas time.

My dad has a V12 Jag which I love, he bought me the plate for my 18th as a joke... I just tell people it has the *50i engine in...

Personally I love the plates, hate the standard plate plinth and legal ones are too big; personal choice. Some good roads but far too wet and slippy to do anything other than potter in 4th, otherwise all you get is a flashing orange light and kangarooing! Well it's about £65 to fill from 1/4...

Wow, photobucket has killed them..!

Few changes on the M3 over the past few months. I've put some miles on her too this weekend driving to Bedford and back, and Carlisle and back. Stopped off on the way down some nice country roads for a few pics, nothing special only from my phone. CSL diffuser has been sprayed, the 19's and a...

What a beautiful car! I wish I hadn't bought my house so young, if not I'd be able to afford something like this for a few years until settling down. Fair play for going for it, I get a lot of jealousy from people for having a £7k M3, comes with the territory really. There's very few people who...

Ah right, makes sense! To me, over rated 'drivers car', uncomfortable, drank fuel, noisy (wind noise etc) looked like a chav, bad visibility. Mine was a very well looked after good example, nothing wrong with it, just not my thing! All my opinion obviously! You need to get rid of the plate and...

Looks very clean, but I hated mine! Worst car I've ever owned! Where's it imported from? Its got a UKDM front end?

Retweet.

Any pics of it not in a tent?! Looks mint!

A few people knocking around quite local now, never used to be!

I thought that was my old car then! Looks awesome, miss mine badly!

Put the 18's back on today to give me a bit of clearance so I can drive it to the garage on Tuesday. Nipped round the block for a couple more pictures. The rear tyres have rubbed right through the paint on the rear, so will have to get that sealed. Only done about 23 miles in it since fitting...

Thats it Dave, they look spot on!

Standard springs going back on, will just get some coilovers in the new year and do the job properly. Probably not polished, just a really bright flakey silver I think. Apex springs Dave, not the best I know but didn't pay much for them and thought I'd try them! Apex dude, so nothing great...

It's a good 25mm lower on the rear than in the pics above, they've sagged that much! Rear arches scrape if you drive over a matchstick sized obstacle. You can't even get your fingers between the arch and the rear tyres, not even the pinky! Completely undriveable and I've ruined the car :( At...

Thanks dude. The diffuser will be painted silver for the most part, only the carbon surround for the exhaust will remain carbon, I was just too impatient to get it on the car and have a look rather than waiting for it to be painted. Will be a lot more subtle once done.

Springs are coming off on Tuesday, shame but I can't live with the car that low, takes all the fun out of driving for me now :(

Lol! Wheels will stay as they are until next year when the weather brightens up a bit. Although I could either stick with these silver, refurb one of my sets of 18's, some CSL's or some BBS RS reps. We'll see. Rides surprisingly well too, just the scraping from bumper that's not good!

It doesn't look as drug dealerish in person, but I do get why people say it to be honest. The wheels are anthracite but just pretty dirty at the minute so look darker; they're only winter wheels too. Personally I want it to be higher up on some really shiny silver wheels, so will probably go...

First up was a CSL carbon rear diffuser, still need to get the surround to it sprayed up in the next week or so, but should look a lot nicer from the back. Then managed to get a set of springs for it and fitted today, dropped it a lot more than I expected! Not sure if it's a bit too low...

Finally got mine sorted today. Going to get a works phone, transfer my number onto that contract and then just have to live out the remaining 6 months on my current orange contract. Wouldn't bother me too much but my iphone4 has seen better days and is playing up a lot so time to get rid, and...

I only bought the 19's due to the winter tyres, not the looks! will probably end up with another set of aftermarket 18's over winter ready for the nicer weather. Probably a bit early for the tyres yes but the rears on my 18's were done anyways and I do a lot of my driving early morning and...

That is a stunning car!

I bought them as they are, freshly powdercoated. Mainly anted them for the nearly new winter tyres that are fitted. I think silver would look better though. Got some new centre caps on order too as the old ones are a bit rough. I think it looks a lot higher on the bigger wheels, so after its...

Fitted my 19's this afternoon since the weather is starting to turn rubbish. Initial thoughts are the winter tyres are a lot noisier and feel the bumps more, but looks a lot better and will be safer so I'll live with that! Old v New 2 months in I'm still loving it, best car by a...
