Sunny's Evo 2 M3!

[ShepsEvo3]

m3ben05....I'm selling because I want to buy another well known M3 which is probably the best I could buy right now. But I am going to try to keep my SE.

[ShepsEvo3]

Kos....you tease!

Hmm, I wonder who's that would be!

Don't sell your SE for it though!

[m3ben05]

Hmm i wonder

Certainly a good car to buy but IMO not worth selling the sport evo for.

Yes, I know what you are saying mate.

[Kos]

Kos....you tease!

i'm sorry, but it has to be done

it took me 2 years to persuade the bloke who had it to part with it

[ricey46]

Whats with everyone refurbing their M3's an then selling them!? thats just crazy, Keeping it = you have a MINTED M3!! And you'll know its been done right!!

[m3ben05]

Theres good money avaliable for mint M3's simple because they are few and far between.

I would never even think of selling mine until i could honestly say it was MINT. Same with our DTM car, it will be sold soon but not until its absolutely perfect.

[ricey46]

Ah ok good point, but if it was mee I'd have to keep it for a while before selling up!! Just to get the best out of it!!

[CiLK_WuRM]

Sweet jesus that is beautiful

[indy777]

I can vouch for this car as I went with Sunny when he bought it .The guy Sunny bought the car off was a complete car enthusiast and was only selling due to lack of use.

p.s Sunny still waiting for you to detail my grale

[hammoj28]

I keep coming back to this thread and looking at the car and i cant stop!!! Its become a daily routine. Keep it, then sell it to me in the future when im through uni and actually have money.lol. Starting to prefer macau blue to black now.

[m3ben05]

OI - if he keeps it and sells it in the future it will be mine! HANDS OFF

[hammoj28]

But you have one. .......just kidding. Whoever buys it is a lucky sod.

When i have enough money in future then i will buy a macau blue one and do the same stuff to i ti think cos that colour and those wheels seems the ultimate. Not seen much better tbh. Just needs another bucket seat and a rear cage.

Obsessed with macau blue M3's now.lol.

[m3ben05]

lol, i know what you mean, i think i would prefer BBS RS's but thats just me.

No question this is a sorted car tho - like i said before, all the performance mods that it has done are now on my to do list

As far as a rear cage goes That would be a waste IMO, better to do that to a 4k cheapy M3

[hammoj28]

Hehe, glad you do. nah, i used to think that too but the more i look at that car the more i like those wheels.

Yup, everything done to it is spot on it seems right down to the mirrors.

hehe, just think it looks a bit odd with one bucket and i thought a rear bolt in cage would look quite cool. maybe not. You might be right, save it for a cheaper one to thrash.

[m3ben05]

The problem with a cage is that you have to drill holes in the car to fit it and getting it to fit round the back seats is tricky and will leave dents in them when its removed.

Iv never really been a fan of those schnitzer mirrors tbh, i prefer original DTM's.

Hes got the original seat that will go back into the car when its sold.

Pics dont really do the car justice either - you may be able to judge for yourself at gaydon this weekend (depending on weather)

[maxfield]

I prefer schnitzer ones and i bet you can see more out of them. It will also add alot to your insurance having a cage

[hammoj28]

Yeah...scrap the cage idea.lol. Was off the top of me head.

Oh right, i quite like em. Different. Just love everything about the car!

Im sure they dont. Same with every car though, always better in the flesh id say.

Sadly not going to gaydon. Prob a good thing cos i prob couldn't drag myslef away from staring at the car. Then id spend weeks and weeks constantly boring the missus talking about it!lol

[MadE30mike]

Iv never driven a left hooker but is it not dodgy overtakin n that? the whole car is gona be on the wrong side of the road before you can see if its clear to pull out lol !!!

Also what lyk is insurance on an M3 compaired to a 325iSport ???

[m3ben05]

Insurance on an M3 is a nightmare! Obviously the older you are the better it gets but its still expensive. Both me and Sunny are pretty young so we get scammed for it!

To give you an idea, i was paying £1800 last year!

Absolutely no issues with LHD, its every bit as easy as driving RHD. I reguarly switch between the 2 and i never have any probs.

[MadE30mike]

Do u mind if i ask how old u are? im payn 650quid fully comp on my sport n im 21.

[m3ben05]

Not at all.

Last year i was 20 with 3 years no claims. Obviously this year the price would have dropped a lot because im 21 but the car is not on the road, its getting a rebuild and im finishing uni which is a 200 mile drive each way. An M3 is not the best car for doing that sort of miles!

[MadE30mike]

I dnt mean to be cheeky but u wer 20 wen u got ur M3 n ur a student? 1 lucky guy, can u post a pic of it plz chap.

[m3ben05]

lol, i was 19 actually

Although im a student i work my arse off when im not at uni and have a part time job when im there. I also get sponsored by the company i did my placement year with. Thats how iv been able to keep the car.

There are millions of pics and vids on here of my car - il find you some links in a min mate.

[MadE30mike]

Nice one chap id love an M3 lyk, rare as hens teeth!
Is it needing work done or in good shape?

[m3ben05]

can u post a pic of it plz chap.

There u go mate

[MadE30mike]

Very very nice u must paid a fair penny for that beast eh

[m3ben05]

Is it needing work done or in good shape?

No work needed really - i get free labour from the guy who looks after my dads DTM car. When i got it i had a complete engine rebuild, new suspension, new brakes, new wheels and some body panels resprayed.

None of that was essential apart from spraying the front spoiler and some new pads.

Its going in for another rebuild only because its in storage at the guys workshop and hes offered to do it for me.

Apart from that, i think there are some bushes that need replacing and maybe a small service before taking it to silverstone next month.

When im done with uni il be getting the alpha N & carbon box setup installed, a new exhaust and some BBS RS wheels.

Very very nice u must paid a fair penny for that beast eh

It wasnt cheap but i wanted one in flawless condition that wouldnt need much work doing. You always get what you pay for.

[Geoff]

This is without a shadow of a doubt THE car im striving to get to. I want this car sooo badly its almost worth putting it on my Visa Platinum!!! Seriously it has everything that i would want on my M3...Carbon airbox, 3 piece splitrims, DTM mirrors, alpha eng man, evo 2 bodykit.

I WANT I WANT!!

Put it this way, you have a maccau blue m3 but you want to add these little beauties to it, think of the dollar that will set you back. say you spend £7k for a nice example M3 your going to spend another £4-5k to get it looking this good. Its a NO BRAINER you should just buy this and save yourself a) hassle and b) expense!!

Good luck with the sale.

[m3ben05]

People dont seem to understand do they geoff.

This stuff aint cheap bolt on rubbish! Its not just a case of writing a 5k cheque for the bits either, some of these bits are so rare you would NEVER find them! Same is trur for the alpha N - to get it all fitted and mapped properly is serious cash and a lot of time.

Also, good luck finding a standard evo 2 in this condition for under 10k - i know because i spent a long time looking!

[hammoj28]

I think the cars a bargain. Lot of bang for buck if you ask me.

[maxfield]

Oh no nothings cheap for the M3 especially an engine rebuild

[zakh]

How would an audi S3 compare to this?

[hammoj28]

Haven't a clue but my mates got an S3 thats chipped and its allegedly 270bhp. It is fast, actually didn't feel anywhere near as fast as gary's evo3 tbh. I dont care wether something like the S3 is faster, i would choose an E30 M3 over any of em! Looks better, better put together car, would most likely get it in the twisties, etc. Just ace!
