Alot change out the ***** gear **** for the 330 clubsport **** and gaitor, havent done it but its ment to be a real nice upgrade, the Clubsport one is heavier and shorter and seemingly is a far nicer gear change only sacrifice is it dont light up.
I did the e92 number plate upgrade, real simple as you can buy bits of wire and connecters from BMW for pence.

cracking motor mate, i am a fan of the m3's & the brother in law has just took me out in his..... a brand spanker 11 plate m3 with the competition pack - wow, what a car. they are crackin motors & a very good alternative to the scoobs. the paddle shift is soooo fast & blips the revs on going down the gears, sounds lovely

Front plate looks ok, rear looks silly imo. Where did you get your black kidney grille from mate?
I put black side vents on my CB this week and am definitely feeling the stealth look

Took mine in today and diagnosed with a broken rear spring.. even the Scooby had the decency to wait a month before needing repairs!!
Plus side they checked the subframe and found no damage and gave it a clean bill of health

Did you stick both original plates back on it or just the rear? I think the shorter plates look better, but I file the edges of mine round. Does make a bit of a difference to the look of it, as minor a detail as it does sound!

Looks like a nice example. Not really a fan of aftermarket wheels on these, think the std 19's look best. Just something about changing wheels on an m3 that makes it look like a replica.
I keep having the desire for a nice carbon black one but it'd be even more of a waste than the impreza sitting in the garage for weeks on end.
I bet it's hard work finding a decent example these days.

Nice looking e46 mate, always fancied a M3 but with never really having a RWD car before I thought I would start off with something a bit more tame so I picked up a 330 CI M Sport. BMW's build quality imo is fantastic, its a great daily driver, chews up the motorway and will potter around at 30 all day long. Was looking for an impreza as a daily drive but very glad I made a sudden change of plan. Any how another vote for the CSL wheels

Very smart looking car mate.
I agree about the build quality. Its one thing that always pissed me off about Imprezas was the cheapy looking **** interiors lol BUT I am getting another Scooby haha
Aye RWD takes a bit of getting used to, had a few **** twitching moments haha but love it.
