    1. Never did I say an M3 can do 30-40k on a set of tyres. That's ludacris.

    2. Like I say, don't waste your time wondering whether I really have an M3. If I do or don't, it shouldn't concern you. For all you know, I may not even have a Yaris ;)

    3. Yes I had taken the M to the Toyota dealer, and I reiterate, I did out of convenience, as I live right next to the Jemca dealership. I made sure they didn't stamp the log book, I left it blank. It gets 2 oil changes a year anyway and I was eager to change the oil to Shell Engine Oil Helix Ultra Racing 10W-60 it's apparently better than the OEM castrol. The brake pads were changed to 'M Performance' brake pads that I sourced from the M3 forum. The OEM ones didn't need changing.

    except in post number 22 of the thread below

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5055896

    where you say " Also the brakes/pads and tyres on this type of car lasts ages, around 30k-40k."

    how ludicrous is that :rotfl:

    I'm not wasting my time "wondering". You're wasting my time droning on about (a) things you clearly dont know anything about, and (b) things you dont have - for example the frankly ridiculous "i've just taken delivery on an IS220" thread where you were caught out.

    Its getting boring, quite frankly.

    Yeah Yeah.

    Is this your M3 is it?

    ignore point one as we know that is not true

    somebody did suggest you take the custard test, you sat in your M3 with a tin of birds custard, as for location photos taken at BMW dealerships don't count

    but unlike Jason Plato you wouldnt man up and do the custard test :rotfl::rotfl:

    That was typo, I meant the brake discs/pads can last around 30-40k. not the tyres

    Was the "i've just taken delivery of an IS250" a type too?

    suggested reading for darkmatter101

    It is a very interesting read especially the section where it says
    The problem with lying is that you always get caught, because it is almost impossible to keep track of your lies when there is a barrage of questions coming your way, Even if your friends aren’t bill boarding your lies or calling you out on them believe me they are on to you, and once you have gone down that path once you will have lost all credibility and it is very hard to get it back and everything you say is then taken with a pinch of salt
