They have repainted the whole car also.

For my hard earned £145,000, I would want factory original paint and lower miles.

That estimate (£110,000-£130,000) is even more ridiculous than the £145,000 SE.

Whats so special about a Tour de Course edition??

I'm guessing it's a bit like the Trackmeister that Munich Legends did back in the day?

Tour de corse model is an evo1 car sold in France only to celebrate the tour de corse rally win in the year group b ended on Corsica. Only 40 made in a mix of white and diamond black.
So really a bit of a bmw France marketing .

I don't think it is special enough to justify that price estimate.

It will be interesting to see what it goes for.

I'd be surprised if anyone would pay more than a £5k premium over the equivalent condition base model M3.
Let's see what the market says.

I need a nearside front inner suspension arm due to excessive play in the balljoint. BMW said they're on back order and could be a matter of months so I wondered if anyone here might be able to help?

.

If you're after an alloy arm then these a used arm on ebay,

if you're after steel then there are plenty of decent aftermarket alternatives available.

Try German eBay and make sure they have one in stock if none of the normal UK vendors have one in stock. If you really , really want one, you may find US vendors have them in stock. I tried to order an M3 part at the dealer the other month and had the same problem of it being on back order and no stock. I saw the part for sale with a US vendor where they said it was in stock. I explained the answer I got from BMW UK and was told BMW North America was showing a stock of 20 or so and duly got it a week later, the problem being the shipping costs and import charges.

Leebmann24 are claiming availability, but if its recently gone NLA their system is a bit slow in updating this, but maybe worth asking.

Personally and for a car like yours seeing track work, I'd say ally arms aren't worth the cost and good brands like Lemforder or Meyle who make the steel items at a fraction of the cost is the way to go.

This looks great.

I am not exactly sure of who RS garage is but I would like to do this detail restoration to my own car one day. The great thing is that it has no rust, a great interior etc and so I cant imagine it to be a huge endevour...just a detail orientated one.

Does look fresh, and compared to cars advertised over the last few months, I don't think it is [i]that[/] expensive.


Don't know whether it has been mentioned before or not, but have a look at this.

Strong money for something that has had a lot of work done.

Take a look at the front wings.... whistle

I didn't realise that a sport evo wing was different.

I am struggling to spot a difference between RHS and LHS, What's the difference?
