Goodbye MX-5, hello V8.

[Matt W]

After years and years of dreaming/saving I have finally ended up with one of my dream cars, i’m over the moon!
So it is goodbye to the MX-5 which has been perfect, top always down.

And hello to the M3.

By complete coincidence it came with the numberplate, and it just so happens my initials are MHJW.
It’s a standard M3 optioned with dakar yellow individual paint, apparently one of 6 or 7 that weere ordered in the UK.
Very happy with it ?

Immense Matt!

 

[Darren61]

Love it, and well done for going for a bold colour, not just black/grey/silver etc

 

[cat171]

Lovely! The colour's a really bold choice, it's wicked!!

 

[leeds2592]

Lovely car, awful colour but it's not my car so you probably don't care!

 

[Darren61]

It’s funny how people buy cars, I remember reading an article about “buying a new car” a few years back and it was saying that quite often the buyer picks the spec based on the things they want (obviously) but also colours like ‘Black & Silver’ are chosen as the buyer is thinking about the resale value etc

Imagine if everyone just chose they colour they REALLY wanted...

Hats off to those 7 Dakar Yellow purchasers!

 

[leeds_182]

Nice

 

[Yosemite Sam]

I hate yellow cars and I would never own one.

Except an M3 in Dakar. Badass colour! Love it mate, enjoy!

 

[davo172]

I lol at how more people on here own cars other than clios these days ??

 

[Tim.]

M3 FTW! I sincerely hope I can make the same transition in the not too distant future.

Was Dakar Yellow a factory option on the E46? There's a house near me that have an E36 in DY, which looks fairly decent, and they changed their blue E46 to match. Each to their own but it didn't work for me. Yours on the other hand looks naughty!

Awesome choice ??how many miles on it? How many owners?

What about a Volvo 850 T5-R? Loved that in yellow!

 

[Mr Burns]

Colour isn't to my taste, but it's a great car... I went to the 'Ring in one and have loved them ever since.

 

[Matt W]

56k, 2 owners, it’s a bmw approved used car, in very good condition!

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Lovely mate! I will own an E92 M3 in the next 12 months

My advice - make sure you get your monies worth out of that auc warranty mate!! You’re pretty much covered for everything except tyres, brakes and rattles. ??

 

[yeecup]

Epic.

 

[DanMateX]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a yellow e9x m3. Looks amazing

 

[Ian_182]

Very very nice motor.
And there is not many cars that can pull of yellow but this does.
Good luck with it.

 

[Mk1T]

Yellow cheapens it IMO but lovely motors. Enjoy it

 

[Matt W]

Any luck?

Now had this for a year, still an amazing car. Did a road trip to bruges in it and was so perfect for the trip (not mentioning fuel....)

However today got sent the warranty prices since it’s now expired, bit spicy!

 

[RSsprint]

Very nice.

 

[Matt W]

Here it is a couple of days ago.

 

[Mk1T]

Proper car, love these. Seem to be very decent value for money these days, though rod bearing etc etc does worry me a little. Screw paying those warranty prices though, you'd just have to take anything on the chin IMO!!)

 

[Pistachio]

I'm more excited about the perfect number plate tbh

Still look at it and feel smug!

 

[-Jamie-]

Looks great, I'd love a Dakar one!


Needs some 260M though

 

[CrippsCorner]

Proper love Dakar, awesome car.

 

[Flat Eric]

Not seen this colour before. Looked a little plain in the first pics but seeing the latest pic you posted makes it look very smart!

 

[welshname]

Lovely car and lovely colour. Congrats.

In the flesh it looks great that colour, in pictures it can look a little washed out at times, a lot like sunflower yellow can. Looks almost like it's faded.

 

[Sir_Dave]

As above, unsure how i missed this before!! Dakar is an epic colour.

Shame about the warranty ... its a sh1t load cheaper if you take it out sub 60k via direct debit, but i guess its not in BMW's interest to tell you that lol.

Id spend £1400 on getting the rod bearings done at Evolve instead i think.

Whats the spec like?

 

[Crybert]

As said I can’t believe I haven’t seen this up until now either. Must be lack of content! Bloody love that colour

Yeah think i’ll get it done locally.
No spec really, apart from the wheels and the colour. Chap didn’t even get the heated seats!
It’s DCT which can be a bit poor around town but incredible at the top of the rev range.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

nice that, don't think I've seen that colour in the metal , enjoy
