Hi folks,
does anyone know where theres a black E30 M3 for sale (other than the ones in the classifieds which are either post-fettle, too expensive for my want-but-cant-afford-budget or a bit molested)? Im *desperatley* looking for one, and so far the usual sources have come up with nothing (other than mobile.de which is as ever 5k over book), so if anyone knows of where theres one for sale, or of anyone who might be thinking of selling, could you let me know? Ta muchly.
Ooo, whilst your awake, anyone driven one of these recently? How do they stack up as a driving experience?
Also, if anyone knows the whereabouts of a buyers guide or just general buying tips for one of these, Id be greatly appreciative to the tune of 8 flood-damaged Twixes. or is that Twix? Twixi? oh, whatever, wet chocolate is yours if you can help me out in any way.
Ta in advance.

Driving experience?! Not done much research have you?! One of the greatest drivers cars of all time.
Ive done a ton of research- however, reading about touring car wins on the internet doesnt tell me what its like to live with or how it compares to a modern vehicle. for example, Im told that the 'grale will run rings around all modern cars ever, and on paper, based on rally wins, id be inclined to agree. however, the three ive owned have all been underpowered and less fun to drive than a well sorted modern car. thats why i wanted experience from owners or drivers, rather than readers.

I've yet to pilot one in anger, but initial impressions suggested that in a world of 900bhp hatchbacks and gazzilion bhp supercars, 200bhp is a tad lame.
Now, many will wax lyrical about how it's not all about acceleration, it's handling that counts - the Loti boys have been doing it for years
, but at the end of the day, if you've just spunked 15k on the car of your dreams and it gets pasted by a cheeky chappy in a Corsa VXR, you're going to be a bit miffed aren't you? No? maybe that's just the boy in me.
Fabulous cars - they look the absolute nuts and the ride and handling is Swan Lake but with wheels, but I just can't get past the basic fact that nowadays, they feel well, slow.
Oh and they rust. A lot.
an excellent summation. Thanks As.Now, many will wax lyrical about how it's not all about acceleration, it's handling that counts - the Loti boys have been doing it for years

I agree with Herr ASBO.
BUT
I still want one even though I have only ever driven one example that in honesty left me feeling disappointed.
I did however put it down to being a bit of a lemon, read: crappy aftermarket suspension/exhaust and generally ropey round the edges.
I however can not beleive that the proper sorted examples, sporting factory fresh OEM components, can not be as scintillating to drive as the press almost unaminously concurs.
It simply has to be good!
