It's a ornament anyway. Thing never gets driven. He is like me, rather just use van to go places even if it doesn't involve work.

Yea, i can imagine popping into town in a van is way better than doing it in a 3 Series

It is.
How is a van better for general use than a car?
It's harder to park, less comfortable and worse to drive?

Can pull out in front of people, drive like an arse and park wherever you want. I think he's on to something...

Hifly tyres? On an M3?
Soldato
Jeez, I can only imagine how skittish that M3 is with lolfly tyres on it. I guess it's lucky it never gets driven.
My 520D F11 is slidy enough at times in the rain with decent tyres on. God forbid an M3 with cheap tyres.
Used to know someone who had an M5 and would.only put in £10 at a time...

The thing that surprised me most when I first got mine was how easy it is to spin the rear wheels on a greasy surface during an overtake. It is scary, even with Michelin PS2's which aren't bad tyres.
The Hifly tyres cost £54 each - they must be phenomenally bad. Goodyears which are a performance bargain cost £140 ish, CSC6's cost about £160 each and MP4S cost around £190 each.

Ignorance.
I have gone through it with him a dozen of times but he aint bothered.
Easy done. Just don't have the time for them atm, especially in the winter.

Even MPS 4S spin the rears if there's a whiff of moisture on ground (although they are considerably better than all previous MPS road tyres!) you go for an early gear overtake, or join a junction when you spot a small gap but plenty safe with the power at hand. Sometimes it's just easier to enable M-Track mode which allows for the extra slip and doesn't anchor away all power when I know it will be of use for those bits of driving, then turn it off again. MDM for the E92 I guess.

I can spin all 4 on Eagle F1's wet or dry. Who cares 
I’m going to see a 2002 E46 M3 individual Silverstone blue manual with 70,000 miles with FSH. From what I’ve gathered on the phone it has a few issues including a knock from the rear drivers side suspension over bumps. Some rust on the front drivers wing. Bubbling of one wing mirror. It’s also due an oil service. My impression is he’s wanting to get rid before spending any more on it. He’s asking £11k, interested to know how much people think it’s worth?
