Very nice Shad, really hope it stops raining so you can get out with the rag down.
I fancied an M3 too, but SWMBO didn't fancy it as the daily drive, so I too am jealous.

Enjoy it mate, especially being a manual

tbh ive ordered a new tray to replace where the vintage phone goes inside as thats th eonly bad bid of the interior, and external there is one tiny scratch on the bottom of a skirt (speed hump i think) and although the wheels are good compared to 90% of cars ive seen im maybe going to get them re cut but the only place i can find that does same day exchange by swapping your tyres to other wheels is in coventry so might try and find somewhere closer or coinside the trip with a job or a bmw show or something, apart from that, ive no  plans i love every part of the m3 thats why i always wanted one for playing in, ive all the toys also so im very happy!!
