Another Happy Newbie

[TorqueVR]

I'm the very new happy owner of a 2004 E46 M3. I've had a TVR Chimeara for the last six years but it was getting to be unreliable I decided it was time for a change. It had to be a a more usable convertible with a big engine and a manual box with a price tag of about £10,000.

Having ruled out Boxters, Z4s, 350Zs and Audis it had to be a 3 series 330 or M3. Having looked at a few, and been out with an M3 owner who gave good advice I settled on this M3. One owner until last May with a full BMW history, 63,000 miles and a recent "no holds barred" respray. I bought it from a panel beater/sprayer who resprayed it Aston Marin "morning frost pearl" with gunmetal wheels to show off his professional abilities and he's done a truly 1st class job. The only problem is that it's meant to be a weekend car on a limited mileage policy for my use, but I keep finding excuses to take it out in the week and the wife wants to drive it as well!.

Don't normally like M3 'verts, but have to admit that looks cool.
That's a lot of car for the money.
Saw a newish convertible VW TDI today, I think I know who is going to have more fun out of him and you

Lovely looking motor, enjoy, I am another ex TVR owner that's gone the M3 route.

Lovely looking thing and nice colour combo. Enjoy it. I concur, they are just superb to own and addictive to drive. I just came back from two weeks hooning around the M heaven roads of Southern Ireland.

Nice choice there Rob!, she looks great

I was toying with having mine resprayed in white, I guess if I do I'll have to make sure I don't turn up at the same South West meets as you
