Following on from the thread in M-Power...
From a Saxo to an E92 M3
Quite a large step up on the ladder but ill give you some back story,
The Saxo was my run around car for the last month or two while i waited for my Audi A5, i was told a delivery date of March, then it got pushed back to June, i got pretty miffed off at this point and decided to cancel my order but not just because of the delays, The other reason being is that after talking to a couple of people it kind of sunk in just what kind of commitment i was making, spending all that money on what is basically just a FWD Coupe, it wouldnt be very fun and id probably get pretty damn bored of it after a few weeks
It wasnt so bad but i did loose a bit of my deposit which was a bit of a kick in the teeth
Then last month i was driving past BMW in Stevenage and thought i'd go take a look for a laugh incase they had a nice 335i or something i could look into, well after taking a look we found they had an 09 plate M3 in the exact spec id go for if i was looking for one, black paint, black leather and the 7 speed DCT, so for the giggle i got them to quote me
After about an hour of talking and going through some things i went away to do some sums, then last Saturday while driving past again i found myself in BMW glacing over it again, then in a moment of madness i thought "f
k it, you only live once" and i found myself giving them a £5k deposit
I picked her up after a valet on Friday
Dead chuffed

on the impulse. Verry nice!Great looking car, probably the last of the great N/A M-power engines. I'm hoping to get a white one of these in a year or so.
When your bank account has recovered it's worth looking into a Eisemann or Gruppe M exhaust to unleash that incredible V8 sound.
