I dont think so Ray.Not into the pretend rally driver thing.
Will be sorted when it runs right,has a decent stereo system and some HID dip lights.
Oh and a visit to Powerstation for the suspension and a geometry check.
Sod waiting for the Prodrive stuff. It will probably be the same anyway.

Not yet Russell but I think this one has had a bit added on before me.
Think its had a little bodywork done before me if you know what I mean.
Drivers side door and rear door.
Still it was second hand so I guess theres a lot of cars about that have had a little shunt.
Maybe it was a big shunt

I swapped it for a scoobmania one as the pipe into it was looking a bit dodgy and poked a hole in it,did well though.

What happened to the beemer then,was all well with it or was it another P1??

Beemer was sweet.
Just £715 a month
Got shot and only lost £500 plus seven months payments of course, and got a 330 saloon sport loaded.
Handled like a sack of **** so BMW gave me the choice of another M3 extra quick. Ordered it and then had second thoughts about the cost so sold it as soon as it arrived at the dealers. That cost me £625 for a quick sale.
So its back to cheaper motoring again. For sure I miss all the BM comfort and stuff but hey I could nearly have bought two of these for the cost of the last M3

Do those wheels clear the STI's Brembo calipers? Or were spacers necessary?

Could I have more details on the wheels plse? Size, offset, width etc.
Cheers.

So then you lost about £5k ? not bad depreciation in 7 months - but worse than the predicted 'appreciation' you so boldly claimed when you bought it.......
Glad that you have brought yourself down to our level
