All that info and yet no !!

Congrats on the M3 and where are the pics

Top man Shad, you'll love it 

Congrats

Glad you have got what you wanted.
i bet someone was up bright and early this morning.
All you (and us) need now is a summer and that might prove a bit harder these days!

Glad your perseverance paid off......



And you've been on the Forum long enough to know the proper drill too, sooooo.......

Great cars, hope you enjoy it.  I sold my coupe in 2007, it was the same colour combo and exactly the same spec as yours.  I let it go for a Z4MC which, although sharing the same engine, feels like an entirely different car.

I've got great memories of the M3, took it to the south of France a couple of times and found it to be an accomplished cruiser.  At other times it could be ragged around tight B roads with great aplomb.  Really versatile machine and a hoot to drive.

I know the drill, I was up at 7 to clean it only to start and then it started to rain so havnt got it done or had a blast with the roof off! Loving it though can't believe a 320d even crossed my mind now!  As above its great it can be driven like a 318 quietly round town or take it over 3000rpm and it just turns into a raging widowmaker!  Also love the sport button that changes throttle response etc didn't expect that on a manual.

Only teasing.......and didn't want Uncle Sanj chasing you......

Enjoy it.......only a little jealous. :-\ :no1:

Great news. But without the pics it's just talk.  )

My two have been there and done that on this forum - no need to see pics of a tired old E53 or an E87.
