I do agree with that, and yes I do like BMW's.

I would not be seen in speedos anywhere other than a pool.... in fact forget speedos altogether.


I do like this orange one for wafting around.

Never mind a GT3 RS.

You can get a new GT3 for £90k. I seriously doubt the M3 will be faster around a track, even if it is it won't be by much. And will you have to pay extra to upgrade the brakes (as per the CSL)?

With the left over £26.5k you can do a lot of trackdays!!!

Away from the track I quite happily drive my GT3 everyday, I would be too embarrassed to drive the BMW.

All just my opinion.
no need to upgrade the brakes. BMW M has finally given in and fitted proper brakes.

As for the rest, it will be very competitive with the GT3 and RS, just as the CSL was with the 996 GT3.

As for the final sentence of your post, having written that is more embarrassing than being seen in any car short of a Chevrolet.
I said it was my opinion. If you want to be a cock then fair play. I just wouldn't want to be seen dead in that BMW any where other than the track.
So, did you wear a balaclava in the four BMWs you've owned in the past?or is it just the colour and the wing that would embarrass you. If it's the wing, I have sympathy. That would be a bit embarrassing.

Bored of you now.
I was trying to be conciliatory. If you won't accept that, then I think people will see that as reflecting poorly upon you.

Whats going on with your vids at the moment????

You've obviously spent and a lot of time and effort with cameras and editing yet your most recent uploads (the Lexus one being the exception - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qh6sC5IUvw) look like they've been converted from VHS!!!???

I think you meant Beemer. rolleyes
Nah, I think he meant Bimmer rolleyes

Here, found this (quick google search)
Bee...Emm...Double u...nope dont see any Iye.
Yep, how many more links do you want me to add before you realise that him saying Bimmer is acceptable, correct even?

You're wrong, don't make yourself look any more ill informed than you already have...
I am aware of a small group of idiots who seem to think that it refers to a BMW, it doesnt, I guess you are just as ignorant as them.
Are right, we are all idiots now. You life must be so empty, back to school soon for you I guess...

just makes me think how much value you're seeing in e46 csl's at the moment, if this car does prove to be as good as a gt3 it can only bolster the csl's values i reckon.
which would be about right seeing as i sold mine about a year ago!

Just out of interest, how do you figure this is poor value against a 911?

Special collector's edition M3 - M3 GTS - 116k
Special collector's edition 911 - 911 Sport Classic - 140k


The GTS is also likely to be much much faster round the track. Sounds like a bargain to me.

No-one claimed that the "Sport Classic" isn't also absurdly expensive.

Have they sold all the 911 Sport Classics? And how many are they making?

I suspect non BMW owners will buy the GTS, will non Porsche owners buy the designer 911 Sport Classic?
