Was an offer I couldn't refuse, 6S Manual coupe, Steel Grey, All possible option, hassle free, Mint and at a serious trade price. My sensible side coming out and it's still practical enough to ferry my daughter around .. Just
I know I'll regret not holding out for the RS4... c'est la vie.

Fair play mate I don't think anyone can say that an M3 isn't a great car just not got as much charisma as the RS4 imo and as said common as muck.
Still it will probably be a darn site cheaper to run in terms of maintenance and servicing but I may be proven wrong.
Off you pop over to the Bimmer forums, don't let the door slam on the way out

So funny... it's so true too.. ive got not business here at all, just an imposter now. .. Sad thing is I've looked for a decent M3 forum and they all seem to be full of plumbs making plum comments as the cars have about as much carisma as they do, I hope to be the exception

I shall gracefully retire... with the distinct possibility of a tumble weed following swiftly behind
