Bought a V8 M3. Filled with excitement, and then immediate regret.

you were very lucky.

Same thing happened to me a year ago. I was a little luckier.

Gaygle · 15 Mar 2015 at 21:31

Really really lovely.

I don't normally like black wheels at all but they compliment the rest of the car very well. It pains me to say it but I think the E92 M3 is the best looking one of them all.

I too am really surprised that the kerb smashing incident didn't do more damage, I guess it's lucky it was one of the fronts that took the hit rather than one of the rears or I'm convinced it would have don't more damage to the hub/diff/cv joints/driveshafts etc.

I really wanted one of these but the interior is just so off putting, looks the same as a 90s model.

Glad I didn't get one, not very good with RWD prefer Quattro, it's...comforting.

Beast of a car though.

Looks great, best M3 by far

Tom|Nbk · 15 Mar 2015 at 21:42

Lord no E46 M3

Johno please? · 15 Mar 2015 at 21:49

Must be something about young people (not sure how old you are... 28?) and crashing M3s....

Looks fantastic! Not great to hear about finding one with that spec as if I am going to get one that is the same spec I would look for.

How much have you spent in fuel so far

8 grand. :eek:

Insane car for that sort of age group and as shown this is why they are not for the inexperienced

badgeruk · 15 Mar 2015 at 22:57

What age group is not insane out of curiosity?

CaptainRAVE · 15 Mar 2015 at 22:57

Some impressive damage and a lucky escape! Time to take some driving courses

wingman · 15 Mar 2015 at 23:54

That red is stunning, almost as lovely as Estoril.

Always preferred the saloon E90 shape to the E92 but that is a great example, enjoy the noise but don't get distracted by the attention you'll bound to get.

G-MAN2004 · 16 Mar 2015 at 04:42

Wow, that looks absolutely amazing in that colour, especially with the black. Do want.

peige · 16 Mar 2015 at 08:36

Nice nice car :cool:

If my miles weren't so horrific an M series would be on my want list.

Different from person to person but between 21 and 25 I was driving cars with over 300bhp in a country where no one gave a **** about the police.

Safe to say I have now grown up a lot and would not behave like I did anymore. I would not want my own kids to have very fast cars before their mid 20's really.

Haha, I'm mid-thirties, about to get an M135i and my dad is still telling me to make sure I'm careful

I know the feeling, I have two kids of my own. You never stop being a dad!
