his scoobydoo
probably an m3 with smg, MAYBE an m5 (i wanna decat a ****** m5...how cool
). third option is one of them weird little zm coupe thingys.... in black (looks like a hot rod hearse) nothing i can mod too much basically. have a break for a year or two, then an rs6 perhaps...and back with the modding
hi deep
good to hear from ya!
basically, i like the way the m3 looks
, its the right size, plus and its a big plus, after driving around for most of the last year in a 3 series auto, ive really got to like it. not the purist option i know, but i think its the best compromise between my 328 auto and my evo. generally, ive found the peddles on a manual beemer WAY too offset. ive ended up having hairy moments before in a manual beemer i had once, was pressing the footrest instead of the clutch, gave me cramp in traffic. perhaps i could get used to it, we'll see.

i go on holiday in 5 weeks time, hopefully she'll sell before i go(cant see why not), preferably on here. no point her being in top marques while im away. how is your sale going, sorted your pics yet? im taking some more tonight before it gets dark.

no probs rob, my email and contact numbers are on page 1 of this thread, anyone wanting to know more info just give me a shout.
for example insurance? male, 34 yrs old, 5 years ncb... 1400 per year with tesco. but thats with every single mod declared. no doubt if i shopped around i'd save a few quid (say a special low mileage policy), but i aint got time. so it aint cheap, but for the performance, not too bad either.
servicing? get the Rc service pack, includes ayc, oil change, spanner check etc etc etc 190 quid. not exactly a fortune.
its not a 'cheap' car to run (no evo is), but if youre gonna modify a standard evo (which you will
) then save yerself around 20k and get this one.it will more than compensate for running costs if you see what i mean. i doubt you will find a better 'allround' evo in the country than mine imho. and not for 22k. i must be mad selling, but needs must.

and dont forget, RC are happy to discuss my car with anyone interested, eg power output, condition of car etc etc. their number is 01606 786706. can be hard to get through sometimes, theyre busy busy (cos theyre very good imho)but very knowledgeable about evo's. i wouldnt send my car anywhere else
this is a car that will make you grin.... a lot! you only live once

you have a z4 if i remember rightly. i think steel grey is or has been dropped by bmw, and is being replaced with sterling silver, but i cant stretch to new m3, only a used one. i really like estoril, but i dunno if i could live with it,its a bit loud perhaps (for me anyway). i like my cars moody looking outside, brighter inside. z4's look ok, the looks are growing on me slightly, but if you get bess, you wont need to worry about speed, she has enough....more than enough

I only put the deposit down on the Z4 for fun but after seeing it i just had to have it. Now that i wouldnt have a problem selling..
They got a lovely used M3 in my local Beemer dealership. Its the silver one with a red leather, 19's, sat nav, Bluetooth. Its a nice looking motor, looks very clean and aint a mark on it
