Remember Jason Plato and the photo with the custard?

You, your M3, and a tub of custard, or you don't own one...

it has got to be a tin of Birds custard just like Jason Had

I now have visions of a guy in a toyota yaris driving around looking for an M3, and asking the owner can you take a photo of me and my tin of custard please

Ermm yes the M3 has a DCT double clutch transmission. One of the best 'automatics' boxes out right now.

As for the tyres, if the OP is on buget get the Kumho. If not go for Goodyear efficientgrip

Which M3? The E46 auto is pants unless used flat out.

M5 went to pay a grand a month mortgage, priorities....
Darkmatter, do you have a mortgage?
Do you have any pics of M3?
I have plenty of my M cars, you must have too....

Yes I do have pics. Are you a BMW forum member from any of the forum sites?

No I do not have a mortgage. I rent a shared flat with my friend in central London, so I can to commute to work quite easily by foot. However I am in the process of saving up for a deposit as is my gf.

E46 has the useless SMG. The E92 has an optional DCT box which is much better

So why refer to yet another car you don't own?
Used to be on an M3 and M5 forum, but not now I don't own either.
An 8 grand 10 year old car won't impress many people, as you can see here


After 4 years I have 100k equity in a 250k house, and a green 12 year old Passat in the drive I bought for £1600.
I can overtake, do 130mph, and do 54mpg, and insure it for £200. A set of tyres is less than one for the rear of the M5 I had.
I grew up and put my money into something going up in value.

I never said I own the e46 m3. I have the e92 M3.

Ah yeah, the one parked next to the Lexus IS250, I forgot.
I might sell my house and buy a few of each.

OK, so not the bargain basement ditchfinders any more then?


Wish you'd make up your mind whose advice you're going to regurgitate.

Driven one? Great for Top Gear 0-60, what about creeping along in heavy traffic or parking in a tight space? How reliable are they? In other words, you are doing your "best" thing without any understanding of what you are trying to achieve.

Surely not?

Not Darkmatter101.

Not him.

Never.
