Thats correct Davy boy .
The 330i handles like a sack of **** and costs me £600 a month so I reckon its the only way to fly.
Back to 2 doors again but my kids are another year older now and climb in and out on their own.
4 doors on an M3 just aint gonna happen.
So it is done.
Silver this time too as the Carbon Black is nice when clean but gets dirty too quickly and scratches a lot.

Trout I think my car has a major problem which is why its going back to BMW next week for good.
I also believe that the nervous skittish handling is more of a problem with the saloon and not the coupe.

Arron

may do m8, see what time I have next week. I think when the subaru is up for change the m3 is looking the serious contender though m8. I take it that they have got one in earlier 4 u.

Yes due to the problems I`ve had its like some emergency release or something.
Apparently they can add a car when they want if they need to.

Unhappy

Arron,

sorry to hear your car is not so good - mine is a perfect foil to the my STi - but good to drive.

My last BMW was so sh*t I never drove it and vowed never to buy one again - but I am glad I did. I am considering a CSL to replace it when the contract is up
