Quick one, does anyone know the exact length and width of an M3, I'm off to look at a house with a garage and don't want to be like the plonker in the old Rover advert with a garage that doesn't fit my car. I'd measure it myself, but the car is in the paint shop and I can't find my handbook.

Thanks in advance.

Looking forward to seeing images of the car on return from the paint shop. When is it due back?

In about 4 weeks hopefully, all after a bit inexperience! Hopefully I'll have learned my lesson this time!

I assume you mean that you have been enjoying the wonderful roads you have up there.

Yeah, you don't get much better than the roads up here and on the West Coast, bugger all police too and no speed cameras!
