One thing I dislike about the M3, after having seen a picture of the yellow ones.

It's those damn holes on the rear bumper left from the parking sensors. Even if the car doesn't have the parking sensor it still seems to have those damn holes!

Yep it will beep at you if your reversing and get too close to something.

RE. Early postings about the Trevor - you'll be spending a good percentage of your time on the back of a tow truck, so if thats your idea of a good time go for it!

Well...it ruins the whole rear of the car!

Steve · 7 Apr 2006 at 21:56

Spent all day reading up on them and I am truely scared by the horendous problems they have and am amazed that owners put up with it.

On a TVR it seems that if you can hit 20k with no engine rebuild you are lucky over 25k you are a god amonge men

Windows/doors/boot will leak to varying degrees but thats expected apparantly

Speedo pods die regually

as do the engine, clutch, suspension, exhausts, electrics, heaters.

But when it does work it is amazing, which I am sure it is, but I a mnot going to live my life in fear of my car going pop

such a shame

Anyhoo now to find me a poo yellow m3 that will see me to 250k on one engine

I've got the best protection going from reversing into things

Rotty · 7 Apr 2006 at 23:01

found the answer

this will save you a fortune compared to buying an E46 M3

bargain

Nice colour!

Steve · 7 Apr 2006 at 23:05

I would prefer an e36 to F40 kit though

"It fooled a BMW Dealer!"

LOL

Steve · 7 Apr 2006 at 23:19

Thats not hard though, the complex task of bleading my brakes fooled my local one. :rolleyes:

Steve,

If you do not have a copy of BMW Car magazine March edition let me know as there is a 10 page article on buying/running the e46 M3. Some good reading in there.

I'll scan it in and E-mail it if you want, have you broadband ?

Have a look at the prices here in Ireland
