Very nice, It's one of the cars on my list to try out.

Not that keen on the coloured leather though

A very nice alternative to a high powered Jap car.

Enjoy

Think there ok as long as u don't turn the DSC off, or at least my 330cd was it wouldn't let u get the back end out at all unless u turn the DSC and Traction control off.

I had a go in a mates 53 plate M3 a while back & was well impressed!

Had a dilemma myself recently...put between £10-£15k into the RB with a rebuild (going down the 2.35 route) or chop in for a M3 on about a 09 plate or maybe even a M6 on about a 07 plate..
The rebuild won

Having gone down the highly modded route with a scooby and an Evo I don't think it's something I would do again, like the E92 M3s but there a lot of people who have had both that think the E46 is the better car, not driven an E9X M3 yet so I can't comment

My mrs used to like my old 330CD and didnt want me sell it, she also prefers this to the EVO, cant wait for the 2 weeks of nice weather we get each year to have the roof down LOL.
