330Ci (Fail)Sport
p**n! Love the colour.
If you could hold on to this one longer than normal, and then let me know before you put an advert up on it, it'd be much appreciated
I don't think the difference from a 330i to M3 is that horrific on fuel (it's all the other potential costs that scare me!). Fortunately Ollie, once the tears hit this face they're worth a bit so I can sell them for petrol money

I love it Dave, and from your OP "that rasp" couldn't actually sum it up any better.
After going out in a friends I was in love.

330 is very very smooth, & deceptively fast - you just waft along really, although it is quite fun to hustle down a backroad. Gearbox & clutch are quite light & altogether, its pretty easy to drive, whether you want to dawdle, or fly along.
In comparison, the M3 is a rather grumpy, angry kind of thing (esp. when cold) - kinda urges to gun it all the time, purely due to that noise at 3.5k rpm ... i get the impression that if i nailed it, in the wet, i would be staring back at the road from either a field/hedge/embankment. This is what makes it though, the ability to go from sensible commuting barge, to angry, noisy bwaaaarp mobile. Love it.

Ha ha, if i had a £1 for everytime someone had said that today, well, i could probably afford a bit more fuel ...
Re: the Trophy, i'll probably decide at Christmas what i want to do with it (when the ins runs out) - depending on how expensive running the M3 is, it will either be stripped of s3xy bits & mothballed in the garage for future use, or put up for sale. On the flipside, if the M3 has bankrupted me by then, ill have the Trophy as the daily & my mountain bike as weekend fun lol.
About time man! It just goes to show you can´t judge a car from just driving one example...
Brilliant cars, although they´re not as fast as people tend to think imo. You´ll find over the next few months the car will grow and grow on you! The more you learn it, the better it is.
The things I miss most about mine are the low end grunt/response and that noise! The S54 is so angry! A Yozzad 182 doesn´t compare lol.
Mpg isn´t too bad, depends what sort of driving you do. My 182 does about twice what the M did though lol.

Awesome, I'm swapping to an M3 early next year now insurance is reasonable and after reading so many threads where you have contributed and now this you certainly will be on my contact list. I'm after a late (55/06) E46 so its going to cost me a few quid. I cannot wait. Enjoy!

Most definitely more grumpy than the S50 in the Z3M as well i reckon!!
Its just ticked over 93k Phil, so much lower mileage than some of the other ones i looked at - had Insp 2 & new f/r discs & pads less than 3k ago as well. Does need two front tyres though ...
And *Badger*, as soon as insurance got down to <£850 for me i was on Autotrader every minute of the day lol.
M3 CSL, GT4 & SL
Should have bought mine Dave
Oh and lookie what I got yesterday http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?600733-New-eM-Fwee&p=8030157#post8030157
You change cars more than I change underwear!!!
That being said - that car is luuuush. Good work
Sure I cant tempt you to swap back to your old Cup? LOL

I cannot understand how anyone interested in cars cant see the apeal of one of the best allrounders availble... Have you actually driven one?

Nope, just not a fan of the car.
Not keen on BMW as a car manufacturer generally, I'd much rather own something Japanese myself.

Got a quote last night at £801 so Autotrader has been getting a hammering, I am going to hold out till March time tho, as the Clio has just had a new PAS Pump so want to get some moneys worth out of it! Im looking forward to you writing a real life costing/living with it thread too.
