Nearest thing to one of those electric seats the old folk use to run people over with.
you'd look a proper bum-fiddler in an i3! My vote goes to M5 :smokin:

Popped into Elms Stansted & really liked the M4 in Silverstone, or whatever the colour is called. Nicest colour I have seen so far.
Closely followed by a Mini GP. The M5s left me cold

The GP looks great. Supposed to be a cracking car too. The M5 in Monte Carlo Blue i think looks good. Any other colour in the M5 and it looks a bit too regular 520d m-sport thingy

The M4 is fast becoming my favourite(New Style) M. Moonstone is a top colour closely followed with Mineral Grey.
Not a single Moonstone for sale at the mo...
Austin Yellow coupes for sale all across the UK.
After seeing Matts Web cam image of the ring, we all know where these came from!!

If its a daily
3gt
more room in back than a 5
Lighter, quicker than a 5
cheaper than a 5
Can get 3.5d x drive so good in all weather, sub 5 secs to 60
Bit of a Q car
PS
if you have kids and need isofix, check your seats fit!! Mine did't in the F80 M3, must have been design by a Muppet.

Have looked at one before and better than 5GT which is fuckugly, but I'm not sure it's for me

Someone needs to buy a new M3 and take it on track as standard as I think the bar has been raised.
15 seconds quicker than the last M3, which is probably 20 seconds round the ring, then stick it on cups and this is one quick car.
And no having to wait for camshafts.

If the price of Cesil keeps rising someone will be able to do a straight swap.

Exactly, as much as I loved and miss my CSL, I do not miss that element or worry about replacement parts anymore.

Lol Pork is a good shout, loved my GT3 but wish I had it as a second car, and also not sold it as it's now worth £20k more than what I sold it for :banghead:
Lol my little Lady is nearly 3, and she started going to nursery in stu's turbo, then my GT3 and now the C63 so not bad way to be transported !
Seriously it's ok fuel, no worse than the CSL which was on a stage 2 map, race cats and SS race box.
It's 16/19 around town short trips, 24/28 long hauls.
Effortless rumbling & subtly aggressive all rounder, and amazing value now 2/3/4 years old.

If they don't start making parts to keep them running the prices will be getting hit, who in there right mind is going £30+k on a car just to sit in a garage waiting for parts ,oh and not forgetting BMW customer service :banghead:

Competition Pack is the one

Home Base calling. Nice car to pick up the wall paper.

Imagine its a chunk more money than the stock M5
M5 = better looker
AMG engine = better sound (by a large margin!)
M5 = better transmission
AMG = rarer
M5 = cheaper to run if buying one with 5yr service pack (quite a few have this as was only £1k from new). Mercedes have your pants down on servicing.
M5 = a few Competition pack cars coming to the market for reasonable money but the Competition pack wheels look a bit naff / aftermarket.
Shimmy you bogger - you've got me very tempted again for a Monte Carlo Blue M5 for low-mid £40's... keep looking and nearly rang Elms mid-week to see if they fancied a 30k CSL in p/x!

No Hats or Gloves needed in the newer AMG's ... they seem more special than the alternatives, more of an event even as a daily.

If I remeber they had rock hard suspension and no feeling.
Most cars now has lost some of the steering feeling, however every aspect of the current RS6 has moved the game on somewhat, give one a go, think you will be surprised, I dare you not to have a ear to ear smile after driving it.
PS Merc's are doing silly deals on E63 AMG S at the moment
