Put your 1200 togther with your 1500 and buy a proper leggy dog of a e36 3.0 m3 coupe then strip it and fit some second hand decent coilys with the cash you can sell the vaders for and rape every car anyone else posts!!

[0rang3peel]

Gibbo you need an M3 :)

[gaz4399]

not convinced by a mini matey :homme:

good choice not going french:cool:

[Nik_L]

He does need 1.

He praises them sooo much,has a nice recipe for a sorted 1,yet he dosn't have 1.

Alternativley, I would take Gibbo's advice with his previous post :D

:homme:

[-shuggles-]

put the money together and get a poverty spec s13?

[johnr32]

good condition mk2 N/A mr2s can be had for just a tiny bit above that price and with money left over to add your own things to it too.

[MiniGibbo]

Gibbo you need an M3 :)

I have somthing thats better.

As above dude.

About the rapeage m3 or the Is? either way its all gravy being bmw :cool:

[Tommo87]

Del Sols ain't fun IMO, they weigh too much for the engine in them.

I'd say just a CRX VTEC would be so much more fun.

[TomT]

I want to join to 2 in the bmw crew 2bh.

3 Grand an 1 years no claims?

[Nik_L]

I have somthing thats better.

But its still not an M3.

Your an M3 wannabe fanboi.

[MiniGibbo]

But its still not an M3.

Your an M3 wannabe fanboi.

Seeing as I have the best bits of both the 3.0 and a the 3.2 I think I'm doing quite well tbh :A:

[Nik_L]

Have you got either an S50 or an S52??

Regardless of what yours has fitted,it will never be an M3.

You should just sell up and buy an M3 before you keep suggesting that every1 gets 1.lol.

[MiniGibbo]

Built an s52 but sold all the bits and returned my m52 to basic spec.

S50 is tempting but I plan to run more power than that can take and a engine built to run boost is always better than a boosted engine and all that jazz..

Yer I know it'll never be an m3 not the first time I've had that said to me tbh, but then it's always funny when i get asked at track days if it's a 3.0 or 3.2 and I say "no dude it's a 323" LOL :D

Clio Sport 172, Polo GTi, Punto HGT, Civic Ek4, Mazda 323f, MG ZR 1.8 160, 206 GTI, 306 GTi6, Corsa Sri. There are loads more, some of these are in the 2 and a half total budget others are in the 1200 budget. If i was you i would spend the 2 and a half and then mod it bit by bit as you get the cash.

[Saxo-KidNI]

You could get a Subaru for that price

[Saxo-KidNI]

nope Ninja exhaust system

and i know what ur trying to say but in afew months time (or years) this car will have a supercharger

;)

[Azza-VTR]

As I have said mate - if you wanna diesel get a golf tdi as you can't go far wrong otherwise at the budget you've got you'll be looking at things like corsa's, 106's and saxo's unless you want an older car

Sounds like a good collection there :)

As for a m3 can you get a half decent one for that price? Further more it's got to be used day to day as well. A m3 doesn't cut it there

[skitts]

Polo gti 125 bhp and also very well built or a civic vti

I know countless owners that use m3's daily? theyre ideal, theyre comfortable and return average mpg..

[xxo0pko0xx]

Really? Ant they like 3.0 petrol?
I was considering something such as a golf gt tdi perhaps lowered with wider wheels. Fun and quick? With a large fmic?

[MiniGibbo]

the m3's come in

2.3
2.5
3.0
3.2
4.0

So far..

Theyre not cheap for maintaince most parts carrying the "M" tax, and need more regular servicing and 98ron fuel but do return high 30's mpg on the 6 speeders crusing..

[Samuel]

lushous

[Docbooze]

New polo's are supposed to be mint with a TSI engine. Just a bit pricey !

[0rang3peel]

Sam fuck off with your retarded spamming.

Also non turbo Subaru's are as gibbo pointed out...gay, pointless & slow.
