Don't forget to check the oil level weekly, it drinks a lot compared to any other car that I have owned

Looks very smart, well spec'ed too

Guy round where I live has an Estoril Clubsport and I must say I do like it. He drives it appropriately, too - I quite often see it flying along!

I'd be interested to know how different they are to drive from a normal Sport.

I can say the same about the engine! Drinks oil for fun if driven fast. Suppose that's what the warning light is for

BTW, make sure this device keeps working:

Clubsport is timeless and seems to get more charismatic with age - more photos please

Not too sure about the rear spoiler personally as I prefer the boot lips but that looks hot.

Those Angel Eyes are horrific

I've always prefer the small lip boot spoiler as well. The one thing about this car that put me off before going down to see it in person was the spoiler, but to be honest it doesn't bother me one bit and I quite like it now.

I don't think the phone camera has picked it up that well at all but seriously they aren't that bad

[TW]Fox · 28 May 2008 at 00:14

They are aftermarket angel eyes they are by definition bad

Jez · 28 May 2008 at 00:14

I quite like them

I wish I had some money for a nice set of electric M3 folding mirrors

how much am I looking at guys? No cheap nasty stuff

I think that's probably the only thing I would like to do, 'maybe' also a nice light tint all round.

The interfering piece of junk, I'm sure what PMKeates means is to make sure you turn it off

Nice car btw.

I got some second hand ones for my m3 for £275 a while back, worry not about the colour as you only need the internals and you can put your fixed internals back in and sell them on (I got about £125 back from doing that).

There is a little tab at the bottom behind the glass you push sideways to rotate the locking ring, then gently pop the mirror glass off (held with a bit of double sided) then you need so torx bits and take the guts out and do the same to your mirrors and swap bits around.

Finally pop out the wing mirror switch and slam in the on with the folding mirror button (uses same loom) I thing it was £20 ish from the dealers for the switch.

Takes about 40 mins to about 10 if you find ones the same colour

Oh and lovely car chap, I am not a fan of Estoril on an e46 having also owned an e36 m3 evo in it I agree with others that it should have remained an M// colour and the spoiler makes me cry a little. All in all like a say lovely car

oh and if I was to be truly fussy Estoril cars need a light interior
