item no 250024505828

[billgatese30]

not a bad copy actually, at least it has the correct boot lid and rear window/roofline trim

[Fal_325i]

My thoughts exactly, nice colour aswell.

[Falkster]

Its worth that to break it!!

[bmwe30mtech]

Probably the best coppy i have seen. Even got the s14 and bootleg gearbox. Not fibreglass also.

[m3ben05]

One of the best copies iv seen, has to be worth it at that sort of money!

[Fal_325i]

Ben guess what?, it's local, also from High Wycombe, as my brother has just pointed out.

[m3ben05]

BUGGER!


Just what i need, someone driving around in a fake stealing all my individuality Think there is only 1 other one the area and its a bit of a dog.

Hopefully it will be moving well out of the area - somewhere up north or in scotland would be good

[Falkster]

I dont want it up North!!!

[Steve-E30]

Very nice

Thats bloody good. If nonone told me id think it was real.

[Jhonno]

he has even done the rear window from the look of it..

[Fushion_Julz]

wonder what manifold he used to get it to fit to a RHD car?

looks OK, but the front and rear screens aren't bonded and the roof line/back window profile is still not correct...

[Geeman]

Looks okay... but WTF is going on inside? Nice dash install.

[TW166Y]

i think id buy it... thats why ive bidded

dash install is totally wrong but hey..... lots of nice power there. Its not a bad copy at all i dont think, nice rims, nice colour at a fraction of the price of a real one, hopefully

[m3ben05]

Go for it twig, if you want me to go and have a look im happy to help. Come to think of it, i can even deliver it for you! Im coming up your way very soon

[dimebag_from_hell]

looks lovley, would love to modify a car like that, simply becaus ei could never insure an m3, how much would it cost lads just to make the the car look like that on the outside?

[m3ben05]

why not just bid on this one.......

To do it properly you will almost need a full M3 shell!

[Gouki]

excellent looking car.

[TW166Y]

how could i refuse that

how much is it worth tops? dont wanna over pay for it, some chavvy mods there which i dont like and would have to change but what would you guys say this was REALLY worth???

[m3ben05]

Well its basically an M3, it has everything!

I think it will either go for OTT money (4k+ IMO) because chavs can insure it as a 320i or it will go sensible money because its not an original M3.

Personally i would consider anything under 3.5k to be a good deal if its in decent condition.

Let em know if you want me to check it for you mate

Whoever it is has done a good job - except for that PS2 instal Makes me wonder how other jobs are done which are 'out of sight, out of mind'... though in saying that if I'd probably still buy it if I hadn't ploughed all my money into me own car

[TW166Y]

well to be honest ben, i feel this is going to go way over the 3.5k mark i really do. i can just about afford 3.5k with selling the borbets and selling the golf im currently running about in "its a nail" ... would you chuck £3.5-£4k at it, if it were your money? Honest? i totally agree its an m3 in a sense but in many other ways it isnt it will always be a replica, never the real thing. do you think id be wasting my money?

[jaistanley]

It has the aerodynamics but not the torsional rigidity of an M3 I'd say.

Seam weld it and fit a cage and it'd be 'as good' (kind of)

Jai

[Geeman]

£4k would buy you a 'real' nail of an M3...

This is perfectly useable.

Anymore than £4k is too much though. I'd have thought £3.5k is more realistic. How much would all the parts cost to do it yousrself?

[pacerpete]

Looks like a stolen doggy councilled M3 with a 320 log book, it wouldn't be the first and i am sure it won't be the last.

[TW166Y]

i agrre with pete on this in a way, although he does state on a question answered that it says 2.3er on the log book! possible its been done properly but its still not the real thing, maybe im best saving for a nicer one, when im 50 or something

[m3ben05]

Honestly mate, i would chuck 4k into this if i was in the market. Your getting a car thats 95% an M3 for not much money.

It looks to be in great condition with reasonable miles.

Yes, you can buy a shagged M3 for 4k but then how much will you need to put in to get it right? Iv always been told a good M3 costs 10k, regardless of how much you actually buy it for.

This will never be an M3, nomatter what you do but at that money i wouldnt complain!

Just my 2p

tempting talk that is ben... im gonna get the mrs on the stella tonight and have "the chat"

[m3ben05]

Dont mention the fact that you will get much more female attention with the M3 - may not help your case

Very good point..Looks the part, but does it grive like it really should, fitting a cage would be a sound option.

Looks pretty decent, but i have to say how much would it have cost someone to perform all that body work? A bloody lot i reckon. I mean why bother??

Secondly, will it have all the same suspension geometry? After all that makes up a big part to the legendary handling that is the M3.

If it goes for a price it'd be worth buying and tracking. Id still feel short changed, knowing that i dont actually own an m3.

Horses for courses....I want the real deal!!!!!
