It's been sittings like this on a neighbours drive for years.

Shame. These are awesome things, and values are only going up..

Finally found some older photos of some motors for your amusement

The 300c crowd are great craic tbh. None of them take themselves too seriously and they make cars that are really fun for kids to enjoy. They had a massive stand at petrol headonism last year with all sorts.

Sure is. It's non ulez compliant round here so that might be one reason for is demise.

You can get a certificate of conformity from BMW and register it as ULEZ compliant with TFL. Lots of 2000 M roadster owner have done this.

Looking at the page of advisories at its MOT last year, i suspect it needs quite a bit of work to make it safe on the road by now

Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):

• Nearside Front Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))
• Offside Front Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))
• Nearside Rear Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))

Usually they are trying to pass them off as Bentleys

At Swift Performance this afternoon....

That gen of M2 was such a handsome car. Such a shame BMW chose to utterly ruin it with the current gen.

Would never have called it "handsome". it was passable for a BMW. That was about it.

Really? I think they're one of the best looking bimmers ever made. Then again I loved the 1 series coupe too.

 

[Nasher]

I don't think any of the BMWs have been great lookers since the early 00s tbh. They are all a bit gopping. The current ones are just awful.

The proper M cars look better with the body kit (l'm guessing designed by someone else) hiding some of the ugliness but that's about it.

I am with Nasher on this that although they are fantastic cars to drive and great engines, BMWs have never been lookers for almost 20 years now. And I say that as a BMW driver.

 

[Robbo]

I think it's a mixed bag, like most manufacturers really. Plenty of great looking BMW's around. Some of the more recent designs are highly questionable though, admittedly.

 

[matt100]

My personal opinion is if you're saying things like F80/F10 M3s and M5s are gopping you need your eyes replacing.

I will freely admit that the most recent massive grill thing has yet to grow on me but I'd be crazy to say it wouldn't.. I didn't like the E36 until I did, or the E46 or E92 etc etc.. I didn't like the F30 platform and now I have one (F31) then I think they dive off badly as they fall into the hands of the stick on bodykit crew.

Then all of a sudden all the dross is gone and everyone wants it.. see E30/E36 etc etc.

Nawh man. That gen M3 just isn't pretty.

E30, E36, E46 for sure. I will eat my words in 10 years if we think F80 is anywhere near as special tbh.

F10 M5 I think scratches the understated good looking itch quite well. The bangle M5 was "too much" and lovely for other reasons.

But M3 imho, not great. I think that is what Rilot meant about the original M2, it kind of somewhat rejigged the old E46 M3 attitude.

Went to chat to the garage about my Jeep and thought i'd take some pics of the monsters in the carpark. I didn't think my Sportage was small until you see if next to this monster Nissan Patrol! Some serious off road machines

 

[Yaayuh!]

In NYC at the moment. Saw this in the sea of ridiculous SUVs, boring Toyotas and Tesla’s.

Alpine event so a lot of Alpines:





Decent event and got to drive all models on track very glad I got an S as found the regular model too soft on track, the R was very good but would need more seat time.

 

[Akagi]

I like the couple of modified ones you photographed individually, they look quite smart!

 

[mjt]

I love how Alpine give you so many colour options! German manufacturers take note
