Cool Bye Bye Scoob..........hello???????

Just sold my scoob and bought a bmw z3 m coupe, in black

Very chuffed, but sad to see the scooby go

I'm looking forward to a lot of sideways driving





don't worry though, i'm still a huge scooby fan

I agree. I hate ALL Z3's (hairdresser's cars IMO)......except the M Coupe.

Fantastic car, definately a future classic.

gorgeous machine you have there mate Trap2terrorists correct though... Z3's are hairdressers cars, except the M coupe.. "powerhouse" comes to mind

Nice car.

I saw a video clip my friend got from fileshare (i think) with one of these in it the other week. It's about a ghost motorbike rider or something in stockholm, sweden. There's a section with this motorbike following this Z3m for around half an hour, thrashing around, driving like looneys, but skilled looneys. That car could shift!! and it was always leaving black lines everywhere and ****-out action. It pulled away from the bike loadsa time. That dude could drive too.

Cracking video!!

I have no problem with the technical merits of an Impreza or a Z3 but they are 2 of the ugliest cars on the planet.
Anybody on here brave emough to become a pariah & agree. I will concede tht the Impreza may have a brutish appeal to some but in terms of purity of style it is an eyesore. I am finding it hard to say anything encouraging about a Z3 .It just looks like someone has bolted a bathtub onto a pram.

Anyone agree? Dons flak jacket.

As with the subaru, you don't buy it because its a pretty looking car!!! You buy it for 4 wheel drive and the engine.

Its the same with the bmw, its all about an m3 engine in a small sports car with rear wheel drive.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you want something pretty, then buy a MX5!!!!

Its all about what driving experience you want - or if you just want to pose

Indeedy the Z3 is a hairdressers car but these are great and I like the odd looks. Pretty rare too.

I had the Z3M ragtop and I must say, since I bought the scoob I haven't looked back.

Great fun don't get me wrong.......just never felt right in it, so I let the ex mrs drive me around.

Good luck with those 321bhps

Me too, but a car like that should not end up tipping the scales at 1450kg!

Nice car.
