I really should just buy the right car in the first place, e92 M3 gone, replaced with....

[ui]ICEMAN · 3 Oct 2011 at 03:13

So in my never ending quest to sample the delights of the motoring world I traded my 6 month old M3 in against this GTR! Maintenance fees came down a lot here over the last 12 months and my mileage has gone from 30k a year to 6k which opens up a lot of choices again.

The dealer made a serious error describing the car for me which allowed me to get the car for $7k under the already very good asking price AND a 2 year extended warranty with a year's free servicing thrown in. Top this off with 4 new tyres and new brakes all around, it was a damn good deal!

Some quick pics for now, I'll get some more up this week when I've had it cleaned and tinted. Enjoy!

mmm... GTR! Sounds like a very good deal.

I wonder how long before you tinker?

Stunning car, congrats.

Very nice. I'm guessing it's a massive step up in performance from the M3?

Looks so much better without a front plate too

I've never seen one in red before. Looks amazing!

What error did the dealer make?

Nice car btw

he said the maintenance costs have dropped along with his mileage

lovely car, they have such awesome road presence and the fact you are quicker than 99.999999999999% of cars on the road is just sex wee time for me!

NVP · 3 Oct 2011 at 08:17

Amazing cars! Congrats :-)

I had a race with one through leicester on Friday night, epically fast! Are you preferring the entire car to the M3 or just the performance?

Cosimo · 3 Oct 2011 at 08:29

Very nice.

A lot of want there

Great car though, enjoy it. I presume black pumps are for petrol over there?!

Pav89 · 3 Oct 2011 at 08:59

Absolutely beautiful! Wish we didn't have to have front number plates in the UK, makes the car look so much better!
