I know the guy that owns this doesn't post on here much (if at all - though I know he has an account) but he's a good friend of mine and getting the word out to as many people about this is only going to help.

The car isn't exactly going to go unnoticed, so appealing to anyone if they saw it last night or see it in the next few days to contact Police and/or myself ASAP.

Stolen from outside the "Vibe" pub in Epsom, Surrey last night between 11pm and 12am...

Pics:











Like I say - it's hardly going to go unnoticed... Just hoping someone saw it being driven/trailered/whatever last night....

Thanks Steve.. and yes, that's a minor understatement.

There was a lot of work and effort put into the car, and although insured with an agreed value, it's not like you can go out and replace it.

Expect though, that anyone that would steal it a) planned it (it was only outside the pub for an hour), and b) is more than likely stripping it for parts...

Feel sorry for your mate, I was gutted when mine was broken into and that was only for them to have a quick route around...

on another note what the hell is that exhaust system???

It looks like 6 tail pipes..... is that right?

Does he have a picture of the front 3/4 of the car, as in one that shows the whole car as you would see it?

Its just that those pics don't really give you a good idea of the front view of the car, it may be helpful...

Wow. A lot of effort went into that car. Hopefully it was just stolen for the ICE gear and the alloys, and not to order for someone overseas. I'll keep my eyes open over here, as Hamburg is a gateway to the East and I have a good friend in shipping.

Maybe they will respray it, put some decent rims on it and get rid of the stupid ice then park it back in a few days safe in the knowledge that another M3 is no longer butchered??



Seriously though, sorry to hear about it being stolen, like you say its not going to be easy to drive about un-noticed, hope it turns up sooner rather than later.

I can see a lot of time was put into that. The money is gonna be nothing compared to the time investment. Not a car I'd park in Epsom, tbh.

On the plus side, they may return it intact, sprayed a nicer colour.
