Well, i picked up the new motor....
 

.... and she's great. A few pics which i'm sure won't go down too well on a scooby forum :lol1: Bit dirty from the commute this morning but the paint is great in the flesh.

The colour is individual Petrol Mica, according to BMW systems there are only TWO in this colour in the entire country, this and 1 other. It's a black but when the sun hits it turns to dark blue/dark green flake type colour, have to say pics dont do it justice at all it's a really nice finish.

She's a 60 plate E92 M3 with DCT and basically every optional extra from the factory, Harmon Kardon sound, EDC, Heated seats, power fold mirrors, front and rear sensors, etc etc.

Not imagining anyone will be overly enamoured but i love it, comfort, noise, power and a real sense of occasion :D

Tomorrow my sparkly new avante garde M359 in hyper silver will be fitted which should look lovely.

Nice! Much better then the convertible

The seats look proper comfy for your mangina :D

Not as nice as your last car , but at least you will be able to show face at Euro car parts :)

:lol1:

Much nicer than my last car, in every possible way :D

Opinions, they're like you ;)

Very nice

What I wanted after the forester but have had to for something a bit cheaper

Nice motor in a nice colour. :thumb:

Very nice motor, i've been thinking about getting one of these myself! I do miss RWD and i have a V8 itch that needs to be scratched!

Tidy :thumb:
I'm supposed to be picking the rs up next Tuesday ...fooook that I've booked the train tickets for Friday morning :lol1:

Thanks all, it's very nice indeed, do love the v8 noise.

haha, i did same, they wanted me to collect thursday (ideally friday), i told them in no uncertain terms i'd be there on tuesday afternoon.

Hope you enjoy the rs buddy.

:lol1: :thumb:

Of the new one :confused:

Very nice

I always fancied one, just never even tried one, closest i got was a Focus ST-2 - after pumaspeed had finished it was 310bhp, spat flames for fun and was a really nice car. Love those 5 pot engines.

^^^^^ :thumb:

That's the puppy thanks buddy :thumb:

Perhaps if you post it in "Other Marques" you may get some smoke blown up your grinner.

Is this another April fools post you bought a bmw! :lol1:

Does less than nothing for me, but as long as you're happy.:thumb:

RS looks nice in white, not sure I'd want to be seen driving it though, it's all a bit much for me.

Nice car if you like that sort of thing, whats the power delivery like?

Power wise how would you compare this to the Scooby.

Completely different power wise. Completely linear, the scooby throws it all at you, the v8 gets stronger the higher in the Rev range, it's a weird sensation when you're used to most cars dying the higher they Rev, it feels like it wants 20,000rpm the way it keeps pulling and getting stronger and stronger. It's just the perfect car for me, comfort, all the gadgets, plenty of poke and a noise which is second to none. Can't go wrong.

Hahahahaha nearly messed mesel but agree

Kraut barge :thumb:

Looks great.

Cracking...

Always thought Lotus Carlton was black and its green
Lol.enjoy it.lovely looking car

What the hell were you doing with an old Impreza if you can afford such machinery!

No wonder you posted up about the crap interior and hatred. You should at least have bought a JDM hatch STI for the money!

I love the saloon in these, but then I'm a fast saloon lover :D

Some of us like our old Imprezas regardless of what we can afford :thumb:

An E92 M3 is a lovely piece of kit and would be my choice over any Impreza to spend time in, in a traffic jam or on a motorway. I'd opt for an E90 in manual personally, although I know the DCT suits the S65 well.

It's another story though come 5 am on a BST Sunday and 100 miles of the finest B-roads to be devoured before breakfast. It won't be the German keys that I'll be reaching for.

3.30am today on b road *******s tried to catch me in the village on 30mph zone, they stay quarter mile behind me untill i enter village. Ive seen them way before(bmw halo front lights)
and no one speed up so quick to tailgate You.
I wouldn't do 100miles trip for blast to lose license.
nice m3,way better than chinese plastic/jdm crap

Nice choice there.
I've had mine since Sept, well impressed with the car, the Dct is something else....enjoy.
