    When I picked up my M3 nearly 20 years ago now (😮) I almost crashed it on a sodden day about 2 km's from the dealer. I'd spent the 10 years before that driving rapid Mitsubishi's with much horsepower and very, very trick 4WD's... RWD's can be fun, but you need to be prepared for the high (ish) power ones!

    Was lucky enough to be fanging a 6.5 Makinen at 17, and like you say, almost got caught out driving a mates Estoril 3.2 in the wet. Only a few years difference between the cars, but the arms race Subaru and Mitsubishi were involved with at the time made for cars that turned mortals into driving gods.

    Yeah, it doesn't look too bad tbh although I can't see it being worth close to 12 but I'm not really across the market these days.

    If it were what I was looking for I might consider somewhere between 8 and 9, depending on inspection. I'd be looking to negotiate down from there not up..

    I just so happened across this car today, photos don't do it justice. It should get close to what the Mora Metallic example went for (based on condition) hopefully the flat-peak facebook e36 gang don't get wind of it.

    I can't see, or even imagine, what is wrong based on the description and pics... but I do know one thing - anything that is described as "race" will never, ever be a "straight replacement" for an OE part.

     

    are you being race-ist?

    Compare an E46 coupe to an E46 M3 - both very handsome cars in their own right, as are the E92 and E92 M3. In fact, I'd go so far as to say the E92 is the best looking 3 series "coupe" ever designed. The F32 is awkward and slab sided in its design language in non F82 M4 guise, the design doesn't become cohesive until the arches are flared and the car is lowered to remove the arch gap - same problem with the G22 to G82 M4, and that's not even delving into the front end.

    Yeah, it's fugly everywhere. And it wouldn't surprise me if BMW referred to it as a sedan.

    It's definitely a coupe in their marketing, how else will they be able to call a 5 door hatchback a "gran coupe" with a straight face.

    Off the dealers website where they have to provide the CIN.

    Great stalk 👏

    I thought they might have a white balance camera issue or some weird bulb temp in their overheads, but looking at the Obsidian Black CLK430, the colour is bang on - shows exactly how blue that colour really is. I'm inclined to think the 130i has had a respray. No chance that is Le Mans.

    Steel or Ali ones? Budget..?

    ?? Ali ones, obviously. Steel ones are for run of the mill E30's. Budget is commensurate with how much they now cost, I'm happy to spend the money, I'm looking to save on shipping. And I want new as I've not been happy with bushing replacement on ali arms in the past.
