    We are the system.

    Ok so what makes you think we're the "same person"? Just because there are two new users on the same thread doesn't mean it's the same guy does it....

    Please explain your rationale....

    It's many years experience on this board of seeing AEs (Alter Egos) return, sometimes we get it wrong but in this case I think we are probably right.

    Look up the american term MO. There are three users in this thread with the same MO. BMW M cars, and other performance models that are popular in certain computer games...

    So you're relying on a hunch? Are you able to see our IP addresses ,if so please check...

    Personally it's better to give someone the benefit of the doubt, rather than just accusing them.

    Please explain what the MO was for the three users... I joined and asked a valid question on a next logical upgrade. Have since moved over to M3 Cutters so please follow if you're interested if not leave it. Rather than accusing one person being 2-3 users....

    Also said the car is 12 years old (e46) hardly used in games anymore.....

    So just to clarify - you know enough about cars and enjoy them enough to have ended up in an M3, yet are that clueless about cars you need to ask for ideas as to what you might look at, and you chose a money saving forum to ask it?

    You can see how that might strike people as a little.... odd?

    I take it as well as never having heard of M3 Cutters, you've never heard of the biggest motoring forum of them all - Pistonheads? Theres an entire section dedicated to getting advice on purchasing a new car...

    Not clueless, just asking for advice for people that have owned them and live with them day to day. Lot's of issues with cars that an owner would know that's not said in a review for instance 911 997.1 has IMS and bore scoring issues.

    But as you've mentioned better to go to an actual motoring forum, this thread is just full of paranoia and condensation . If you can't give any advise on the topic I'm asking for leave it simple as that. But thanks for the piston head link.

    Okay, i'll take you at face value then, and my advice is - as you've already picked up on - open a discussion on that PH thread as they're a very knowledgeable bunch.

    This forum tends to be more for general car issues (and trolls).

    I look forward to your posts on PH. :)
