I chased a bunch of chavs up the A68/A697 in a 3-series that claimed to be an M3. Since my 1.6 Beetle cabrio was snapping at their heels at *ahem* mph, I think the badges were fake. Either that or 4-up M3s are slower than a 2-up

1.6 Beetle /cabrio/.

I only like the M1, 6-series and 8-series, though I'd consider a late 7 (not current) or previous gen M5.

Jury is out on the new six series. I think I prefer the Audi S4 Cabriolet.

Richard

there are more fakes than gens, see em all the time, 320 M3 lol

My guess is he's never driven one.

That "E30" is a 2.5 litre beast... and far from crappy...

I'm not sure if the engine is a golf vr6 or a corrado (how ever you spell it) VR6.

Yeah its sadly true, I dont even see the point the E36 M3 kit isnt very distinctive, I would have a carzone rear+sideskirts and a zeemax front and arch kit prolly, but its all rather expensive : /

I missed this one:

Well on a motorway it wouldnt really matter, unless you where raceing inbetween traffic, then you would know all about it.

he said E20 which is old i think, and could be a range of engines...

sod that, I reckon the E46?? new bmw the 330Ci in black with the 18" rims is much nicer than the M version

yes but before I said that I was quoted £1200 for an E30 325i theo

"What do you think of the E30 series? As you can tell im thinking about getting one, but i'm 19 and I got quoted £1200 per year but I can join bmw club thingy and save 10% so a E30 325i will cost £1090 on my own insurance."

its a beast indeed, very fast, lovely engine, drinks a lot of petrol if your happy footed, nice interiors, parts arent criminal apart from rather special bits.

Mint, shame I havn't got that much spare cash, I really love the black/chrome effect but they arnt they alloys I would choose (still nice tho).

Bomex. My business partner has a Bomex front bar on his R33 Skyline. Looks mean.

It's hardly a "beast".

That's debatable.

What Richard says is true !

It is.

Yes, Yes, It is !

Er, perhaps the words "twin-turbocharged" have something to do with it :)

Go forth my child, and try ragging one point to point cross country, on wet roads...

I had one, I loved it, just didn't love the fuel costs.

If you get a good one, they're a very entertaining drive, and the power delivery is oh so smooth and linear.

Nom, meet my good friend sarcasm :-)

Definately, pure drivers car.

Straight 6 at its best imo.

That pile of s*it software you are using has a dictionary. What a shame that you're too stupid to know how to use it.
