Updated the OP with the main spec. I only hoped to get a car in good condition but I guess I got lucky

 

[sc_evo]

Best of luck with it mate. Lovely car.

 

[AlpineF30]

fantastic not many with individual audio.

 

[Neil_M]

That looks like one clean example. Nice choice and line up on the drive way !

Thanks mate. Look forward to dealing with you again in 3 years. I have the calendar marked

fantastic not many with individual audio.

You're right though I notice on the way home it is a pointless option since the radio is turned off and the windows down lol.

That looks like one clean example. Nice choice and line up on the drive way !

Probably one of the cleanest I have seen. I think I mentioned to you I was after one when we met and the mini was intended as a stop gap but I just can't let it go lol.

A lovely car ,htd .my friend bought a very pale blue/ silver coloured one the other week and it sounds bloody fantastic ,I would have an m3 in a heartbeat only I would be killed in a week lol.

@zafturbo it's probably just me but it doesn't entice me to drive like an absolute bellend at all. It's a car easy to drive at the speed limits etc. My E36 M3 3litre was a beast and just wanted to gooooo!! Hard to drive at 30 in a 30 lol

I love the looks of the f80 m3 .not to everyone’s taste but just would suit my needs perfect bar the fact it’s rwd.i have this worry of rear end and central reservation having a get together .

 

[Brennan]

Lovely motor sir

Not much to worry about tbh with the modern technology

 

[ALN]

I thought it might be cool to see if I could find a magazine with an e92 m3 review just because.... well I’m obviously a bit sad like that lol. Surprised I found this which also features the r53! Of course I had to have it...

 

[ALN]

So an inspection under the car after a little oil was spotted after moving it would suggest there is a leak at the diff. Would appear to be developed over the last 1500 miles from the last inspection was carried out in the service book.

Hopefully nothing major but this is how it looks...

 

[ALN]

Picked these up around Christmas time so thought I’d clean them up and see how they look. Could do with a refurb really but I might throw them on to see how they look first. Just need a set of 220m wheels to complete the
set!

 

[ALN]

So the car was booked in with Colm @ Banbridge Motorworks to get the diff looked at and of course the inevitable happens...

Car put on a light show and a quick check using my Ultragauge confirmed one of the throttle actuators was the culprit.

Plenum off

Actuators out and off to Jason @ rebuild for refurbished sets with a lifetime warranty. Great service!

Car is all back together and running sweet. I would highly recommend Colm and expect to be returning to him if I decide to do the r*d b*******s.

Have really enjoyed this car so far and I am surprised by how well it handles for its size. It can be a cruiser but it loves taking corners too.

 

[mayweather]

Looks great, you sick of throwing petrol in it yet?

Looks great, you sick of throwing petrol in it yet?

Most of the miles I’m doing a for fun so it’s not really an issue for me and I’m exceptional at man maths so this car actually costs less to run than a Nissan Leaf for me

 

[Lyons]

Colm knows his stuff! Has yours had the bearings done?

 

[ALN]

Colm knows his stuff! Has yours had the bearings done?

He’s a genuine guy for sure. Car hasn’t had them done and probably doesn’t need them done either but I figured I’d rather go preventative maintenance over an extended warranty at near an extortionate £2k a year lol.
