Yay, i got my M3 back!!

[m3ben05]

Its been a good day people, a very good day - one iv been waiting for since last september

My M3 is finally out of storage and is back at home where it belongs

It arrived on a trailer because it has no MOT or tax any more, but it just feels sooo good to have it back so i can start sorting it out ready for the summer

A couple of quick pics i took before i tucked it away in the garage

[munky30]

I want your wheels.

Looks good... why was it in storage?

[m3ben05]

It was in storage because i was at uni in stafford (200 mile drive every weekend), which would have ment parking it on a dodgy northern street through the winter and only using it to drive home or transport a group of piss heads about at 3am

I have a mate who has a large car lockup in sussex, so he had it down there and also did a bit of work on the engine for me

[munky30]

fair enough, sounds sensible... p*ssheads and m3's are two things I would imagine dont mix very well.

[Conan]

I love your car.

Getting my 18" Rondells tomorrow - best wheel design ever!

[Royalratch]

You have my dream M3 - Macau Blue rocks.

Munky

Looking good Ben.

My dads should be over in the UK soon.

A trip to the ring is in order

[m3ben05]

Cheers guys,

Munky - sensible yes, but its been such a pain in the arse not to be able to drive it for almost a year

Max - A ring trip is definately in order mate, i was thinking some time in June?

[maxfield]

Yeah sounds good

[munky30]

Only on a car forum can 'ring trips' be mentioned with such reckless abandon without fear of reprisals.

[maxfield]

If pacer or Andyboy read that it would be a different story

Only 8.5's all round

10s would look awesome on yours!

[m3ben05]

Yea, when i ordered them the guy offered me the 10" rears for something stupid like £20 more. I said no becuase off the top of my head i thought they wouldnt fit but now im pretty sure they would, like this

[Conan]

Wasnt the whole point behind those boxy arches to get 10s under there.

Wouldnt let it worry you - your car looks awesome

[m3ben05]

The Group A cars run 10" wide rears but they dont have inner arches and they still rub like shit!

I may change the rims at some point anyway so im not too worried

Your car looks great with the new rims BTW, will look even better once its dropped a bit

[Conan]

Cheers

[d6dph]

Awesome news Ben. Looks like you will have to stay sober for more than 3hrs so you get to drive it!

[m3ben05]
