  1. e92 m3 is in a different league, Don't get the convertible its 300kg heavier than coupe/saloon and I could really feel the difference. Throttle actuators are a very common weak spot and costly to replace on the v8. Having a few BMW's and a couple 350'z reliability is far ahead against BMW's

  2. for 15k you could just about get a decent z4mc if you haggle. We have one in interlagos blue and it was neck and neck with my e46 m3 on a few runs. It certainly "feels" faster to drive than my m3 but it's just perception. You get the CSL brakes and a fast steering rack as standard. If you go for a full sports exhaust, some bucket seats and remap you'll be around same weight and power as an M3 CSL.

  3. Cheers guys, obviously early models can be had cheaper, I wouldn't touch anything pre 05 due to the revisions I mention in my ebay ad. This is the cheapest to anything similar in the country as per the title lol.

     

    I didn't take the pics but I'll go do some normal ones myself asap thanks for the advice, much appreciated

     

    I didn't like the car at first comparing to my 350, which I've now realised wasn't fair given my 350 had over 10k worth of mods on it. So I've now bought another more expensive than this with mods already done on it. We now have 3 s54 powered m cars in the house, so that's the only reason I need it gone asap.

     

    Ekona you know what you're absolutely right. I'll pm a mod to move this thread. I just stuck it here because I've seen everyone else do it tbh.

     

    Cheers guys

    Welcome to the advert for my Manual BMW M3 Coupe.

     

    I've researched prices on all the car sites and made this the best price for spec on the net so be quick. These later model cars prices are only going up now!

     

    All the toys! in the most desirable manual coupe combo, many would argue this is the best m3 of them all bar the almighty CSL.

     

    This is a highly specced car from Factory with all options ticked.

     

    Imola Red Heated Nappa Leather with inflatable Lumbar Support and side bolsters

    SAT/NAV Freeview TV and Bluetooth phone connection

    Harmon Kardon sound system with subwoofers,

    Sunroof

    19" Polished Wheels

     

    This is a 2005 model so right toward the end of production and having driven and owned many m3's myself, I can tell you without a doubt these later models are much improved and have various upgrades over the early ones.

     

    Being a later model it has

     

    Revised suspension

    Working Digital Free view TV

    Higher flow Cat Converters

    Better Paint and 12 year Anti Corrosion warranty until june 2017

    Stronger welds

    Stronger Head gasket

    Stronger Engine VANOS

    updated navi

    LED Lights

     

    It will come with original BMW service Book and Full service history. It had the BMW running in service in the correct time period and all inspections including valve clearance. the next service is just an oil service and is not due for another 2400 miles.

     

    The car is in very good condition, Has a good genuine history of motorway miles as is reflected by the condition of the car and especially the interior. Remapped.

     

    The engine is perfect, no bad noises or fault lights on the car, tyres are all good and original M3 conti tyres. Brakes are very good. Newly gassed aircon. it's overall faultless.

     

    now reduced to £9750 18th march

     

     

    This car won't need money spending on it like some others, so buy it worry free and enjoy :) enjoy :)1977309_10155156942670554_7919577440360900733_n.jpg?oh=120fad5c4824d08a92be287d268db21d&oe=556A027610445520_10155156944525554_8348021344620839868_n.jpg?oh=3b61e9889fac926580bf4b67e8921907&oe=5561E76E&__gda__=1431555339_dbadf8483eac634c14618e6372f3394010978502_10155156946440554_9182019958229440453_n.jpg?oh=904d9af8e3e9ca55d83c2d33fc4ba6fe&oe=556BB8A3&__gda__=1431572188_62c288cfab85d09ffea32ee02568def110945749_10155156947735554_3461759838267289013_n.jpg?oh=afd54db699515814fc4affc9196f77b3&oe=556DDEAA10689616_10155156948470554_8016457898401051847_n.jpg?oh=3547782b0436b8ab6618664f509e850f&oe=554CFFBB&__gda__=1432528911_9781d08502ea19de984d85be2f79544d1604403_10155156951200554_3916159534927501804_n.jpg?oh=add0d4c00b1496be67efb9451b525c49&oe=556182491743541_10155156952660554_1380107296556998650_n.jpg?oh=5cafe2c3a531fd1b354ab167d11fe9aa&oe=554C382810959854_10155156953270554_9133722138682231167_n.jpg?oh=fa6444d8c7b47fbcef0ef61127c766ff&oe=554D9F2B&__gda__=1432584532_db489d34902047d47ca2b456a1785bf21484638_10155156954115554_8288759121778391507_n.jpg?oh=3f9532852826b8a8ca6ecfab168abc0a&oe=5567CB77&__gda__=1432693838_722e1c29b328b524463a70db86ee8f4f10463948_10155156955155554_5616401239912005608_n.jpg?oh=6d219e33bd142ffcb9b8f34cedc67ad3&oe=5565B1BA10959320_10155156956350554_5515257070526833207_n.jpg?oh=bcd7c9dba87b001d670fca52142456f8&oe=5560682F&__gda__=1431390026_e233473fb007d1097428350d1d805c3710959689_10155156957405554_3112496418135760790_n.jpg?oh=1998feafa222eef075b00995d448a807&oe=5565261F10246638_10155156958415554_2019700695301022481_n.jpg?oh=b8b6bf06a5715a28e2cd032b59bb3895&oe=554FA4FD10959414_10155156964680554_56988701385915528_n.jpg?oh=62570341944caeea2be6585bb118b267&oe=55685002&__gda__=1433048798_36ca9f93338ebd15484ad0d1183c5de410978633_10155156966470554_2834513746207610270_n.jpg?oh=614c901e82b9116b136f9af86d774c37&oe=55626396_DSC6760.jpg_DSC6758.jpg_DSC6757.jpg_DSC6756.jpg_DSC6755.jpg_DSC6754.jpg_DSC6753.jpg_DSC6752.jpg_DSC6750.jpg_DSC6748.jpg_DSC6747.jpg_DSC6746.jpg_DSC6745.jpg_DSC6744.jpg

  5. its so funny reading all these comments about no combustion=no fun because that is exactly what i've been saying! I'm a massive petrol and don't even like performance diesels. I own an m3 now and love high revving petrol engines. M power, Audi R8 etc there is no way an electric car with no noise, no exhausts, no gears could cut it for me!

     

    I had no interest in it and was pretty meh and unexcited to drive one, until I pressed that ELECTRIC pedal! Damn! the torque on these things is amaaazing! It actually has a huge rev range that keeps climbing and climbing becuase only 1 gear! The handling feels nothing like a 2 tonne car when i was chucking corners at speeds I wont mention. The huge Brembo brakes are identical size on front and back to provide a perfect braking bias and stop this heavy car no problem without creating too much heat. The only thing I really thought could be better are the tyres as they are designed with economy in mind.

  6. Yep I wanted to try out the nismo setup, copied the sizes exactly and I can say it works very well.

     

    Sorry to be lazy, just quickly - what are the exact sizes they used including offset and all of that stuff ?

    I only know this size works well from Forza 5 when I'm tuning the 350z :lol:

     

    F = 18×9 30mm offset

    R = 19×10 30mm offset

    ?

     

    lol yep 18x9 19x10 but i went with a slightly more aggressive offset

  7. Nice wheels but the price and the fact they need a refurb as well... means expensive set. As see you have these on ebay for £1200

     

     

    Yes Ebay 1200 but I'm trying to offer a bargain for forum members here, they don't really "need" a refurb, as you can see the top pic was before I removed them from the car and look good still as they are.

     

    If you think they're expensive you obviously don't know how much these wheels go for, I know as I struggled to get them for ages (with a decent dish and offset too) and I paid a lot more than I am selling them for. Also the tyres were very expensive as well after that.

     

    Go try and find a set for this price anywhere, if you do then you can come back and say they expensive. :shrug:

  8. I already thinking of chopping in my e46 M3 and getting one of these with e92 LSD. if you're passing around north london, come pick me up :D

     

    I've just driven a tesla S and i'm really craving loads more torque now!
