NewNiceMrMe Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Of this....and.....WOW!!!!!!!!! It's a seat of the pants riot of a mad machine!!!! Magnificent!!! M3 engine....and it goes like a bloody go kart on LSD!!!! It's like a mobile ASBO! Astonishing! Interlagos Blue with Black trim, not my interior taste in colour but they do some stunning extended Nappa combinations in Champagne and various other colours. It's like driving something that says 'Kill that b*stard!'. Couldn't stop laughing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorburn Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 They do look fantastic, trying to convince my mum her next car should be either that or the Roadster (and that I should be a named driver ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted August 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 The demo is up at £44,085 with SatNav Pro, sun protection glass, 6 disc CD, and a few more bits and bobs. Worth every penny I tell ya - incredible car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted August 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Wouldn't want the demo though. If I was to get one I'd want a higher spec and the extended nappa leather. Probably about £47k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser647 Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Isn't the M3 engine going to be replaced by a V8 soon? That would make the engine in the Z an 'ex'M3 engine.........

ian_m Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Chris, surely you wouldnt swap your 6 for that as mad as it may be, it looks very "low rent" compared to your 6 series Ian, is it french??? 106 Gti maybe??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuntimeFrankie Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 imho I think it looks like a smaller version of the 6 Very nice Chris, would that push all the buttons for you? Bet it would look nice in black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll not be replaced for a long time yet. The V8 of the M3 wouldn't shoehorn into it. Besides, if it did, they'd have to rename it 'Nuclear Missile' because it's already an absolutely rocket-like car! The low stance adds to that and the driver enjoyment is as close to a Noble M400 as anything I have driven. If you can, drive on. You'll grin all day long.

[/ QUOTE ] It might look different....but then again it is. It's as magnificent as the 6, but in a very different way. I'm mulling over it anyway. Might do, might not.

Bet it would look nice in black [/ QUOTE ] Not sure yet, going to mull over it. I'd get it in the colour shown if I did. Looks stunning in the flesh. Interior would be the extended Nappa leather though and I reckon I've played about with the options and added pretty much everything. No i-Drive either! Just plain old simple buttons and dials! The speedometer design is fantastically cool. Hearing that familiar M3 screech was quite an experience when about 4 inches from the ground with nothing behind you but a boot. The chassis was breathtaking too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizze Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 There are some superb deals to be had on ex-demo coupe and roadsters, on a roadster in that colour combo it was £45k new, they would do it for £40k, with a guarunteed buy back of £32k after 24 months. Very cheap motoring for 2 years, and was seriously tempted to chop the wifes Mini in for one, but wanted to try the coupe first. There are or were a load of coupes going round the country, one week at each dealer, and the week my dealer got theirs I was away, so still not driven one, but the roadster was sublime, and I hear the coupe is even better.
