Listen son, I shouldn't have to explain anything to you, but as you are a bit slow on the uptake, here we go.

We were discussing enthusiast vs dealer servicing and work, generically and not confined to the M3. You made yourself look a blithering idiot because, instead of reading, you just supposed.

Did the 944 have a chain or a belt?

Take your head out of the sand - arrogance doesn't suit you and trying to disrupt a thread talking about the 944 thread which if you remember was at best a doner car so best or other wise would be ducking irrelevant but let's not let feet get in the way of a good story.

Don't rise to beefcakes comments, it's really not worth it.

Lol honestly for his last sentence he'd fully up to speed no need for you chipping in.


Suggest you turn the thread back into what the OP wanted bit posting gibberish as above appears to be.


As you were

Head in the sand? You disrupted the flow by starting to talk about concours M3s. The guy doesn't want to know about cars that don't really exist; 99% of E46 M3s are used examples, clean, pristine even but not any that will lose much value by not having a book full of dealer stamps. What about the guy that does the VANOS replacements? Will his work in repairing the issues regarding VANOS in whichever model it blights devalue the car because it's not done by the dealer?
Think outside the box man.

Why the fk are you discussing any vehicle outside the E46 M3 on such a thread.

Irony overload.

Shame things got diverted hopefully now back to the OPs question in hand (though I'd wager someone will post here following any post by me and refer to a doner 944 for some bizarre reason).

Agreed. Having owned both the E36 and E46 there's no substance to that. The E46 was a big jump forward from the previous generation and the quality was most definitely not inferior.

So on your experience of two cars there is no substance to what I said. Well I have been a mechanic for 15 years working almost totally on German cars. So yeah there is some substance to my argument. My opinion being that also held by many of my mechanic friends.

OK, there's no substance to it in my opinion. The two E46's I had were faultless so that's what I base my opinion on. You were brutal in your condemnation of the E46 and that's what I passed comment on based on my experience of that and the E36 I owned.
