AdaM3's Red M3 F519TOY

[Omi]

Failed to sell recently on eBay and I'm seriously working out whether I can buy it.

The car looks mint and I know Adam spent a lot of time looking for a nice example.

The reason it failed to sell on eBay is because apparently it has had a new rear quarter... - Was wondering if anyone could a) Go give the car a thorough look over, or b) Run me a cheap (free?) HPI check to see if it's had any claims in the past?

Girlfriend has told me not to bother coming home if I buy another E30, so my two will be for sale if this is a go-er!

Good man keep it FOUR pot!

[Simon]

Do it Omi, you won't regret it, where is the car located?

[Jimbob]

Errrrr, wtf! why is he selling it? This is an absolutely mint M3 which he took ages to find iirc..buy it Omi!

The car looks mint. I'd buy it myself if I didnt already have the Sport. An HPI check is only Ԛ£30-40 and will put your mind at ease.

Adam's got a rather nice Audi S3 aswell, the M3 was his toy, literaly!!

I've not seen the M3, but the Audi is very nice.....did i mention 272bhp too??!

I'm sure who ever buys it will be impressed after he explained how long he looked for a good one.

The reg is too, very

Simple answer is speak to him. Find out what the reserve was and go from there. My M's previous owner couldnt sell it on eBay. I contacted him and we came to a deal.

dude...... no offence to u.... but if i was really serious id go see it myself

i went to manchester from london with cash iin hand to see my sport

How in God's name could an Audi ever be NICE?

[adamS]

Ooh well if you do go ahead and buy it I'll swap my std throtle body for yours!? Plus a few quid in your pocket (take the missus out and keep her sweet)

Roger, it was a nice Audi, thats all I'm gonna say . Now my ride is a nice bmw, see where I'm coming from
But as far as my love for BMW's, well I'd have to say that Audi's and porsche 's have always been close behind, I lived in Germany for close on 15years, my old man had Audi's from the old sqaure audi 80, to the new A8, including a very special Audi 200 turbo treser conversion, pearl white paint, for a 15yr old kid that was the best car in the world . My dad was at school, man I only wish I could have driven it .
I know the new ones are heavy and a bit plain, but they are good cars for a different type of driver tho .
But IMO anything engineering wise from Germany is normally pretty good.
Still would have preffered to have seen the M3
I hope it goes to a Zoner, keep it in good hands

the quickest car ive seen shift on the public roads is an rs6 estate!

i think it was modded cos zaust was different, had some wierd badge and fook me it went like nothing else! its sooo fast it should have been ilegal and thats me talking!

Karan,

YHM

[frosted]

yeah audi seem to go nuts out on there silly cars. the silly badging might be the "edition badge?" which is odd which is on the silly esate ones.

[nav786]

i love audi's. i dont like the tt's but the RS4 and RS6 are animals. i have been a passenger in an RS4 and it is superquick. its the ideal estate. i love the s8's too. personally i love all the german cars. i like VW and adore the POrkas.

[motorsport]

Talking about quick cars, i was out on my GSXR the other day and a MR2 turbo came up alongside. Thought what the hell, knocked it down a few gears at 40mph and opened up the throttle. Thought the throttle was broke as i watched this MR2 pull away, flaming exhaust at each gear change. Dosen't happen too much when out on my bike but this thing was just amazingly quick.

Mr2's are very quick, even more lethal when tuned up. i have heard lots of stories about the t-bars being unstable at high speeds, well my mates one was.

[frosted]

the rev 3 will run 400 bhp on standard internals all day long.

now thats scary

[Jhonno]

TT's are shite - a complete waste of space - my dad brought one home and i prefered his 525d

RS4/6 - now your talking.. i'd rather an e34 m5 estate (debadged of course!) now that would be a giggle

e34 m5 is minor compared to the audis for all out power

[Jhonno]

yeah i know

but i think they are cooler in many ways

not that id turn down and RS6 estate

[Jhonno]

saw one (M5 Touring) in Brighton on the way to uni in fact... Looked so cool!

[320Touring]

e34 m5 is minor compared to the audis for all out power

are you sure?going on cars built around the same time 92-94ish

carfolio.com lists the

1992 3.8 m5 as having 340bhp, and 198.71bhp/ton

and the

1994 Audi RS2 as having 315bhp and 197.49/ton

and allowing for the losses due to 4wd on the audi, and the additional weight of the touring-i'd say they were pretty even...

however if it was the 1999 RS4 it'be 40bhp/ton ahead

[Karan]

yeh i meant the rs4/6

id rather have the e34 instead of the rs2 though purely cos its rwd

[320Touring]

yeh i meant the rs4/6

id rather have the e34 instead of the rs2 though purely cos its rwd

thought that0-just thought a comparison would be fun

the RS6 is a touch of a beast!

I know a guy with an RS2 who'se tailpipes were going so he fitted 2x bean cans (i kid you not )

still fooking fast tho...

[E30BeemerLad]

I too have a liking for Audis - love the warble from the old 5 pots. mmmmm

On the way to the northern meet me and Cabrio327i were in our little convoy taking it easy and a bloke went past in an early VW Passatt estate, i'm talking A or B reg here, 5 pot warbling away, sounded awesome. I would have an old Audi Coupe for that alone and don't get me started on the UR Quattro! splumph! ooh sorry luv.

An uncle of mine had a proper quattro on a c reg, fist with the torsen diff. He left our house just outside middlesbrough at midnight, bound for london and was there 2 hours later - 250 miles in 2 hours - 140 all the way!

One of the quickest audis I have seen is at York Dragway - it's a S2 Coupe, massive turbo, nitrous, water / methanol injection plus god knows what other electronic trickery - but it's pushhing out 500bhp and he's running it on the standard transmission/drivetrain!!!! He even drives it there from Hartlepool. I'm sure it does high 11's on the 1/4 mile.

If I recall and I haven't checked this - he had a website for his business that had a page about the audi - www.dmoses.co.uk

I've never seen a road car get up and leave the line better than this thing, better than 750bhp GTR skyline that was there the other week.

apologies for the long post btw!

I am at work but evidently not doing a lot!
