as much as I love the e30 M3 a VXr would kill it on track on braking alone

20 years of brake developement is massive and the e30 brakes were pretty crap out of the box - IIRC they are M535i components

as a daily again the VXR would be a better proposition - cheaper to run and possibly more reliable too (although I never had any breakdown or start problems with mine)

as a w/e toy M3 every time

have driven both - urQuattro every time, agree on the sound and if you let KimCollins play with it you'll get 4 ft flames coming out of the back of it winkeye

quite frankly i would like to say in future if you feel you dont understand, a PM to that person wont hurt and well it is the more sensible way to go about it.

but in the mean time do take care and RELAX you'r ASs

I'm sorry, could we have that in English please? It's not our fault you feel like you must speak like da homies in da Bronx bruv. The rest of us find plain English quite acceptable. Use of the capital letters also indicates a basic education but you might not have one so I'm sorry if you didn't go to school.

Thanks! winkeye

I feel that your comments were rather pointless and you are just nit picking, this is a casual forum were members can talk to one another about any and every car related topic. Rather sad i think that we have members that have time only to criticise others...are you sure you wouldnt prefer to go to another forum, like reader digest.com

With regards to your first comment. "One thing the IS cannot do, is teach its' owners to use proper English", you are not only offending the writter but me, i'm not on this site to take part in childish and petty behaviour...grow up mate
You then went further when you said, i quote, "just makes you look like a burberry clad half wit." why be offensive? in the future a polite PM will suffice, u know casually asking not to abreviate.
i think you should jus calm down mate, coz for real yor starting to P me off


P.S calm yourself........i hear green tea helps a treat winkeye
When you have been on this forum for longer than 5 minutes, you may understand the joke I made with the IS comment. It has been a running joke for years on here that IS owners sometimes exaggerate the ability of their car. It's very much tongue in cheek.

Text speak is not welcome here, while perfect and grammar is not expected, at least some sort of attempt is expected.

As far as offending you, I apologise for you being so easily upset. Perhaps you should be less sensitive. I fail to see how such a comment can offend you?

The burberry comment was a general comment about text speak, not a personal dig at the poster of said text speak. Any such personal comment would have resulted in me getitng slapped wrists from the mods and perhaps some editing of my post. As neither has happened, I know I have done nothing wrong.

Once again I ask you to be less sensitive. Have a look around here, it's a great place to learn all about these cars. However, casting vast assertions about acceptable comments and getting your knickers in a twist after being here for 5 minutes is somewhat comical. While I brew up the green tea, shall I pour you a cup?
