Nice car Chris, i love the colour too

These cars are very quick, me and a couple of the other MLR boys raced one around Milton Keynes earlier this year.There was an Evo7 in front just holding its own with the BM, i was sat behind the two, almost flat out in mine too, which cosidering my car produces 272bhp at the wheels is some going

Thanks for the nice comments peeps.....

Dealing in Scoobs/EVO's I'll always have something around me if a blast is needed....

However, at the ripe old age of 38 methinks I'm slowing down a tad

I'd stopped "spirited road driving" a while ago, leaving it aside for the track so I'm going to very much enjoy the quality comfortable ride along with the smoothness and quietness of the cabin and transmission

The "whistles and bells" you get in these Bavarian beauties are amazing...it'll take me 3 months just to work em out

It's funny how so many peeps off here have owned and run many Subaru's, tracked them, highly modded them, then have gone done a similar route to this one........only to return shortly after (Birdy )..... so maybe once a "Scooby peep" alway's a "Scooby peep"

In the meantime, I'm just off to say good morning to her, smell the hand crafted leather, try and work out the Sat Nav and Widescreen TV ....then pop into Manchester for a spot of Xmas shopping whilst fending off those adoring ladies

 

You have a hard life Mellow!

Nice car Chris,

Just before we went down the route with the XTR2 I very nearly ended up owning an M3 hardtop in Laguna Seca Blue.

The M3 is a lovely car to drive and a great place to be. It just oozes quality. I'm sure I'll try to own one (or an M5 or 996C2) sometime in the future. Matts M5 is just the most amazing battle cruiser you could possibly imagine, refinement, gizmos and the massive lump of magic under the bonnet.

Enjoy m8 - I'm sure I'll see it in the flesh soon enough.

Ian.

 

Oh my gawd!!!!!!! what have you done!!!! If you think you're getting old at 38, then there's no hope for you .
That must be why you're getting slower at karting now you're over the hill
Seriously looks a stunning motor, look forward to having a spin
Cheers

PS How much do you charge for a 20 year old blond with 36DD

 

The car looks ace Chris - I'll give you 'till Feb 'till you're back on the track somewhere

(ps mornin Adge)

 

I bet he's trying to find a bolt in cage for it...

Expect to see it on track sometime soon, I think!

Lovely car - better than any evo/sti in my opinion.

 

Mellow dont get me wrong mate they are fantastic cars.
I too really enjoyed the sat nav and leather electric everything but it was the £720 a month plus depeciation plus deposit etc that I got fed up with.
I CAN afford it but priorities needed to change and a bigger house is on the cards next year which I hope will be a little more of an investment over an M3
PS Plus I found the M3 was a little too pollished for me. Brakes didnt work as well as they looked and the steering lacked a little feel.........but you could easily get used to that.
For sure a used M5 makes for a real performance bargain but dont even think about financing one as the cost is megga as they depreciate like ****!
If you are minted like Matt and can lay down the cash then thats ok I guess.
Mind you my wife and kids take up most of the spare cash that I may have in Matts situation
Take it on track mate especially in the wet like I did . Will suprise a lot of Subaru owners.
Enjoy.

 

Chris - GIT

 

Nice one,
Just in time for this great weather we are having....

Ill give you three months and itll be gone,a man of your age wont be able to take the female attention,believe me it gets annoying after a while..........ha what would I Know

Enjoy....

Later Yoza

 

Erm Mellow that should have been for yout 40th Then you're old and not before, when the little kids start going "Geez that old codger has a right nice motor!"

Canny see you being happy with that despite what you say about packing in 'spirited' driving. Besides did it come with a free blonde wig and scissors? You must be confining yourself to the suit and briefcase me thinks! :P

 

Chris, I'm seriously impressed, one of my dream cars that is. I went in one a few weeks ago, spent the next few days looking at my finances trying to make it so I could afford one, but to no avail Couple of years time I will be sitting in one of those beauties....

Absolutley georgeous, you not going to buy a little track toy too? Maybe a nice westie?

More Pics! Hood down, interior etc...

Cheers

Paul

PS: LOVE the colour!

 

chris u are one lucky sod im on the msn talking to poc and he is on the phone to u and showed me this pic awesome car mate

 

Hey Birdy....absolutely no offence taken mate....I can't disagree with your sentiments !

More photo's soon....roofless an all that

Deffo not going on track

I may buy a new suit now though

Have you checked out the wheels.... 19" !!!!!!!!!

Now...where's the number for Safety Devices

 

nice car but i hope your engine lasts longer than some of the other E46 M3s' that are going bang!

 

Lots of smurfs died to make the paint for your M3, you gotta appreciate that

 

Dazc2 my mates 11mth old with 8k on the clock went bang something to do with oil flow Its had a new engine clutch and new diff

 

Lol @ Smurfs

My P1 @ 10k miles went bang....who cares...t'is what warranty's for

 

well as long as you dont mind being without the car for a few days/weeks then blow up as many as you like

 

so did you sell your cosworth then?

 

Nice colour ! Too many silver ones about , sadly none of them mine!
Get ready to have the roof down , I heard a rumour its gonna be sunny around August the 8th.

 

Hi m8,

Awesome car. Cool colour too. So what are you bringing to Well lane then?

Will see you later in the week as I need some NF.

Cheers

Rich

 

They're a bit common though aren't they? Theres 4 just on my road.

They're all driven by old men as well

Isn't that blue similar to the one used in the old Escort Panda cars? :P

 

Common maybe....

Old men....erm....well possibly I am.........

Colour same as old Panda cars....dunno....can't remember them.....not as old or as common as you

 

Chris my friend

If you're not as old as me I suggest an urgent visit to the Oil of Olay revitalising clinic

ps - you see that program on C4 last night- "Vain men"?
dunno why it reminded me of you

 

Sorry to be contrary, but I think it looks like a pimpmobile.

 

Hey I dont suppose you were heading out of Bath on the A36 this Saturday were you, passed one exactly the same as yours. Stunning colour even covered in ****e.

 

excellent choice. Did you get SMG. Also, go for the AC Schnitzer zort makes for a much sweeter sound!!
