New Car - M3

[996GT2]

Awesome car...now you gotta use that 333 horsepower to do some burnouts or chase down some unsuspecting ricers

 

[MisterJackson]

Maybe you're right PHiur, but his pretentiousness rubs me the wrong way.

sorry OP, didn't mean to jack your thread. Nice ride.

Beautiful car, beautiful color! I'm partial to Laguna Seca Blue, but that yellow is very nice. Be sure to keep it in shape. What are your plans for the Scooby--gonna sell it or keep it?

edit: dude I forgot you're in the UK. What kind of gas guzzler/luxury/VAT/London commuter taxes are you gonna have to pay on that thing???

No Gas guzzler tax, well, there is insane fuel tax so that counts. However, I have a fuel card from my company, so that is a non-issue. I live 5 minutes from work, walking, so no Congestion charge/commuter tax. No Luxury tax here either, so I'm golden! (so is the car, sorta!)

To all asking the price. It's not worth starting that little firebox! The £>$ conversion will make it appear more expensive than it really is to me. Suffice to say it's the most I have ever paid for a car, ever. Ever.

Very nice man! I've noticed that two people in town (college town) now have an M3 as well.. the prices of the older models appear to be dropping since the newer V8 M3s are just around the corner. If it wasn't just way too impractical for me to get one, I would.

I like the color, too!

 

[Looney]

Nice car! And i actually like the yellow. But then again, most colors would probably look good on a car like that.

 

[Mo0o]

Not a big fan of the color but good car

 

[InlineFour]

I like the white M3, but i wouldn't mind a yellow M3 either.

 

[SokaMoka]

The color is not apropriate, I mean all you need now is a cab sign on the roof and you'r open for business

Congrats BTW!

 

[mitaiwan82]

badass ride man :thumbsup: much love for the E46 M3s

 

[xanis]

Nice car! However, I really don't care for that color too much...

 

[Baked]

They knocked a huge chunk off the price due to the color. What...The...Fvck!

 

[JLGatsby]

You got ripped off, the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

(Yes yes, I know they're supposed to be on the wrong side in Britian and most elsewhere, I'm just being sarcastic.)

 

[imthebadguy]

dude....the steering is on the wrong side

 

[Cristatus]

What part of London you in? I'm in Kingston upon Thames, and I see more M3s than regular 3s, and it just takes the charm away.

Just outside the M25, and you're right, they make way more M3's than regular 3's...

 

[l Xes l]

it's one of those "Hate it or Love it" color...

gets :evil: from me

 

[placebo139]

*Jealous*

The car looks like perfect condition. (Other than the color )

purty....except the wheel is on the wrong side of the car. How much did that run you, if you don't mind me asking? (i heard m3s are a lot cheaper in euroland)

He's in the UK, it's normal to have right-hand-drive over there; infact most Brits prefer it.

Yeah, it would have two sections: Those who drive them and those who wish they drove them.

Sweet car. Not my color but I'd take it anyway. How much to get the steering wheel fixed? Or is that covered under the warranty?

They come like that from the factory.

edit: dude I forgot you're in the UK. What kind of gas guzzler/luxury/VAT/London commuter taxes are you gonna have to pay on that thing???

No Gas guzzler tax, well, there is insane fuel tax so that counts. However, I have a fuel card from my company, so that is a non-issue. I live 5 minutes from work, walking, so no Congestion charge/commuter tax. No Luxury tax here either, so I'm golden! (so is the car, sorta!)

To all asking the price. It's not worth starting that little firebox! The £>$ conversion will make it appear more expensive than it really is to me. Suffice to say it's the most I have ever paid for a car, ever. Ever.

Quit with the foreplay and tell us how much you paid.
