Well, its finally happened.
As a few of you knew, i have decided to put my M3 into storage for a year while i finish uni.
While im a student again i cant really justify the crazy insurance or running costs, or the 200 mile motorway drive home.
Iv known this was going to happen for some time but now iv dropped it off at the garage i feel pretty gutted
Wheile its there its having the engine rebuilt, so its not all bad but i miss it already!

Simon13 - Its not a question of the cost, its the fact that it would sit on a street up north not getting much use apart from long motorway trecks! I think the car deserves better.
BMK - Im looking forward to it already mate!
Maxfield - No, its just being rebuilt with OEM parts, one day i will have the full 2.5 spec in the car but not using the original engine.
