Umm,
It is an M3 convertible 0-60 5.1 secs
340 bhp
3.2 litre six cylinder with sequential manual gearbox (base price 44,470).
Not
your bog standard 3 series convertible.
By the time you’ve added satnav,
heated seats a CD changer and upgraded the stereo, and installed SatNav
(essential for resale) then it comes to 48,440. I don’t pay VAT on
new
cars, so I actually paid 41,200 and I’ll sell it for more than that
(45ish) in 12 months and replace it with another new one. Not exactly 50
grand,
but only 1,600 quid short.
As I said you need to bone up on your
car recognition
skills. By beat a 911, I mean on a race on a track. I may only get around
20
mpg, but I have great fun doing it…
Your old van might beat the M3 in a
load
carrying capacity, but I’m sure the AMG55 estate parked in the drive
would give it a run for its money.
Anyway this topic was moved over to
UKHA_Cars over the
weekend.
I don’t get it. Do you naturally
try
to antogonise people, or does it come around by accident?
Tim.

50 grand? You must have loaded it to the hilt
with
extras. Even so, the
price is a mere entry level affair for the
more
prestigious makes. As to
beating a 911, I bet my old banger can beat
yours
in load carrying capacity
and fuel economy, if not in the posing
front.
