jjt Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) So with the Porsche Cayman S gone, and having test driven a couple of potential new cars such as the Aston V8V (which felt older to drive than my last two cars) I decided on a BMW M3 V8; it is a limited edition Monte Carlo edition (only about 110 in the UK, and the exact colour I wanted), DCT transmission, EDC suspension and, with only 15k miles, it is immaculate. I'm yet to have a proper drive out in it due to being very busy in work at the moment, but whereas I struggled to love the Porsche from day one but it grew on me, this car has really impressed already. I will get a proper write up of the driving experience when I have taken it to the Triangle. And possibly this picture of the wheel/brake/hub can show how clean it is... still on the original tyres it was supplied with but the BMW dealer i purchased it from are replacing them for me at my convenience... Pictures really don't do the paint justice, just impossible to photograph! I had intended to insure it on track and get back into it, but I'm thinking that I'll be too scared of messing it up! Thanks for looking Edited October 3, 2015 by jjt 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamic Turtle Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Good cars and quick, but I find the boxy looks a bit prosaic next to pork and aston. We had one join us on a road trip recently and it stood out for looking so mundane next to the fezzas, caterhams and GT3s. Then again so did my 370...

jjt Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Cheers for all the positive comments guys I'm hoping to take it out properly soon. I agree with the muted looks, one of the things that put me off the Aston was that it was a bit too flashy. However it definitely turns more heads than the Cayman, helped massively by the blue on black colour scheme unique to the Monte Carlos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
