Wife took the M3 for a drive this arvo

Thanks man. Pretty happy!

Mine hesitates at about 2k also... Usually just below, ~1700. I always thought it was a VANOS issue as mine is getting a little bit noisy, but I'm sure I read that yours has had its VANOS replaced?

Speaking of which, you've done wonderful things with love and polish - That colour really has come up a treat.

She's driving the 530i now. But it's to big for what she's doing. I reckon a 330 or 325 E90 is the way to go...

Get rid of her car & put her in the 530i. Good amount of grunt for a DD, and built unbelievably well. Ours returns 11.5l/100 urban, exceptional given it's bloody close to 2 tonnes worth of stationwagon.

Nice job on the M3 too, one of my bucket list cars!
