Very nice, I really like it. I love the subtlety and the Q car effect of the 4 door M3, I would like one some time. What kind of miles is on it and how has it been to live with? |

Hello Andrew. I really cannot fault the car, 100% reliable. I got the car on 96000 3 years ago, its now just over 117000. Only money I have spent on the car is for the service and the odd silly little thing for MOT.
You should get one, Not sure if the evo is as reliable but this 3.0 engine/transmission is just stunning. Get one, you will not be disapointed :) |

Yes I think I would go for the 3 litre if I was to get one for reliability.

Ive got a 3.0 Saloon too, bought it from a fellow member last week. They are a fantastic car, really handle a lot better than the M3 vert and also a little better than the coupe. So much so that im selling my vert now and will part with the individual coupe in time. Love the contours too. If it were mine id either go back to amber front indy's or put clears on side or rear just to keep them all the same but thats only nit picking, its a stunning car! |

Are they not the standard front indicator lights then? I always thought they was? I will be changing them if they aint standard. It is a lovely drive :) |

Im fairly certain if it had the ambers elsewhere that it would have amber front indicators too. I know a lot of people upgrade to clears but i like the ambers, its nice and retro. I have kept my E34 M5 standard with the ambers even though i have a set of clears there for it.

Looks great, 3.0 does seem a better option without the vanos worry. Im also sure that it was Evos that had clear indicators but would also have the half red/half clear rear clusters. |

Cheers mate, I have been hard at work with the car, cleaned all the rear archs out and painted with black waxoil paint, also took the rear mud flaps off and am waiting for the wider rear wheels to come back from there recondition :)
Paintwork will be next :) Also found out there was only 413 RHD 3.0 M3 Saloons made :) so rare :) |
