New BMW M3 ? was created by sniper
Driving down to Brighton last week and saw this.


He saw the mrs take the picture and started to weave through the traffic to get away from us.

Looked very muscular, a bit touring car ish, it only pottered past us and it sounded great.

The only bmw i even got close to liking was the e30 325i Msport. These newer ones are so totally outside what is legal in the UK as to render themselves nothing more than a display of one upmanship in an office car park. Not for me.

I've never owned a BMW and it is unlikely that I ever will, but my dad absolutely loves his BMW
I have a friend that swears by them but has now been drawn away by a very potent Audi.
Everyone I knew from the SAAB fraternity that had owned BMWs in the past thought that the SAAB was a far superior machine, though the press always saw it as inferior to the BMW.

I have a couple of friends who have them one of those is heavily modified and driven accordingly. The other is currently being disposed of after we took it for the run down to a track day and on one of my pilot stints I gave it a kick in the guts and how it reacted made it's owner scream in terror. The car was fine but the owner dare not drive it anymore!

Heheh that reminds me; a colleague of mine has some huge great thing with 'M' badges on - it sounds a bit like an old American car with a long stroke when he revs it.
I've never been with him driving anywhere but he is a bit of a nut-job by all accounts and frequently seen on opposite lock.
More money than sense really, but each to their own!
Then there's me with my little MG Midget bimbling along at 50 or the Jimny bimbling along at about the same rate. Goodness knows what the others at work must think of me with my old and unfeasibly small cars :laugh:

Tesla model S ! Go in one of those and you will realise how the supercars days are seriously numbered in terms of acceleration !
Stupidly expensive to buy, but once bought has to be the cheapest car to own ?

Tesla - now there is a nice looking car! Somebody where I work has one; but apparently it has a lot of problems and is regularly in and out of the dealership :unsure:

Yeah I get that quite a bit. People who don't know me assume that because I have a Jimny, all I can manage is pottering about at 40 or 50 mph. They can't grasp that it's a deliberate attempt to mitigate the risk to my driving licence, not a reflection of my driving ability, I know that I drive everywhere like it's a tarmac special and doing so in a Jimny makes legal speeds seem fast, if I drove a proper car like say an RS or Type R or a WRX or whatever, I would be in prison and that doesn't sound like a good idea.

I know it's not an M3 but this made me laugh.
