Replaced my Spec-c with this
 
And I bloody love it, such an epic engine and gearbox, in fact, it's just a stunning overall package.

Oh, wait a minute, it looks like it already has! ;)

Just jesting. Enjoy your new car. :thumb:

Exactly, I could give a fecks arse what people think of the colour, I love it and that really is all that matters, after all it is an M car and so many boring, blacks, greys and blue ones about... THe black roof is actually Carbon and looks very nice in the flesh as does the whole car, the pics do not do the pressence of this car justice.

How does it compare to the Spec-c, well it's a lot heavier of course but the turn in is still very good and the ammount of mrchanical grip available is alomst beyond belief...:D

Speed wise, well up to 60 about the same as the spec-c, after that the M just pulls on like a train, it's so fast and the engine note is to die for..... Not forgeting this is a standard car, with an Arkropvic exhaust and remap we are looking close to 450bhp of normally aspirated power...:luxhello:

Truely awesome car...but a little 'westside' from a visual point of view:lol1::thumb:

I did cringe at the "colour" comments. I quite like it and the roof looks awesome as do the alloys.

Nice one!

geesta 27 May 2010 07:06 PM

Love it, great colour combo. Beats the sh** out of silver and black.

Certainly is mate in auto or manual. I've got it in my 335i.

T20Driver 27 May 2010 09:38 PM

There's a white one that visits someone in our estate ... oh the exhaust note is pure bliss ......

rookymatt 27 May 2010 10:20 PM

414bhp "out of the box" Would shame nearly anything subaru has to offer. Very nice mate. Enjoy, and don't forget to use your indicators! ;)

Dont forget these cars are over 50 grand new so you cant really compare it to a Subaru unless you go for the new Subaru Cosworth which will eat the M3. The new Subaru will hit 0 - 60 in 3.6 secs.

I drove one of these M3's about 8 weeks ago and thought it was fantastic and not much else could touch it for looks / performance. Then I got a drive at the Nissan GTR and everything changed. The best car I have every driven.
ps The guy that owns it is 74

rookymatt 27 May 2010 10:36 PM

GTR is about the same price as the m3 isn't it?? It would be a hard decision for me if i had to choose. hmmmm............................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ........................................... JAP! Not only that but luckily i get to drive these m3's on a regular basis, actually have one on the drive tonight carrying out quality tests. Oh the quality!!!

scooby1929 27 May 2010 11:02 PM

About the same price!!

You say the quality but when I drove the M3 it was having clutch problems. This is with just 8k on the car. Lucky for him it was under warranty!!

You think the M3 is quick the GTR is a different league again.
