E46 BMW M3 build up

[Hatton]

I love this

 

[C4Doc]

Very nice, always liked but do agree about the exhaust sound. Not deep enough for me and sounds like its trying to scream but without getting there.

Still undecided on colour but does look better with the black wheels.

 

[TypeRiter]

Nice Ste. Very nice indeed.

 

[Collister]

Nice car i have got to say undoubtedly one of the best cars i have ever driven managed to take one out from the bmw garage when i was 18 lol they let me take it on my own

 

[Durzel]

Might be worth blanking your plates, never know whos reading the forum...

 

[Danger200]

Very nice indeed, you didnt hang around lol. Was the CTR up for long before it sold?

 

[garypaul]

Congrats - love e46 M3s and yours looks a great car. My mate had this CSL which he has just sold but now cannot find anything to match it

I would also be interested to see what the top speed is without the limiter.

I wouldnt condone you try this ofcourse as it would probably be stupid speeds

Nice one, how many miles to a tank do you get in one of these?

Nice man, not keen on the colour though.

£10,000 you say....

S2000 anyone????????

 

[^Joe]

Nice work so far. Fully approved.

 

[b16a2vtiguy]

It was more than 10k tbh, but comparing this to an s2k is ridiculous........

I think Nick was offering his S2K up to allow him to consider M3 purchase, not make a comparison. :lol:

Thats right Carl, I had no idea that these were accessible for that region of cash.

Loads of car for what now seems very little compared to what I always imagine M3's being.

Saying that, its the running cost's that will cripple you.
