February 2008 Car of the Month - M Cars & Tuning Houses

[Mr_Clarksun]

"Hi Mr Clarksun, my name is Wendy from BMW, and I want more than anything else in the world to send over the new E92 M3, tanked up and insured, for you to road test for a week or two [chuckle] Yeah, I thought that would interest you [giggle]. Call me anytime at 0800-BRACKNELL.â€a

How long, O Lord, how long have you waited for just such a phonecall to come through to you? Some people wait all their lives. Not me, though. I get them constantly. This was the first voice message waiting for me on my phone whilst clearing UK customs.

Frankly, the thought of abusing BMWGB's hospitality, although appealing in a superficial-instant-gratification sense, fills me with dread. Wistfully, my mind is filled with performance 3-series' from a nobler age.

So, if you've an M-Car, an Alpina, a Hartge - hell, you may even have a Racing Dynamics. Post up.

I want cars breathed upon by the tuning houses —a factory approved or not.

[jimthejunior]

Whos car is that ^^^^^^. Thats in nottingham which is where i reside.

[maxfield]

Same car, just a 'day' diesel conversion.

And it's my Dad's.

And it certainly is in Nottingham.

Do you live on a warden patrolled pensioner estate mate?

[maxfield]

Nope!

It would be too much aggro for the wardens.

It's more of a council estate.

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Those look like granny cottages in the background of your sig pic.

I may have to get some pics done of my Alpenarse turd to make all you bu&&ers sick!!

[maxfield]

They certainly are.

But I live on the opposite side of the road to where the car's parked. That's probably why the complained, because I parked on 'their' side of the road!

So I parked it even further on the curb to piss them off!

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Did you ever get to the bottom of the "Police Letter" crap?

[Chris-W]

Any chance of being even vaguely on topic?

[Simon13]

Back on topic

[Chris-W]

Who'd have thought the winner would have been posted so early on!

[fuzzy]

does cosworth count as a tuning house?

[DanThe]

Not on this forum it doesnt

[Quaser]

How about a fake schnitzer

[1an]

how about an A-tech tuned car?

[fuzzy]

Not on this forum it doesnt

dam, my plan for global domination is thwarted again.

[mrLEE30]

Simon - how did you change that C2 coupe in to a touring???? now that is impressive

and fuzzy post yer turd i'll vote for ya!!! It dont say BMW tuning house (and i still dont think Ireland is really overseas )

mrlee

[oakey]

Not many entries this month eh?

A 1an said are we allowed A-tech tuned cars?

[Dominitry]

Do sports count?

[paulrosche]

Council wheels. Horrible interior. Scandalous rear lights. How could you do that to a an M3? Sorry but zoners are just being polite if they're telling you that's a hot M3. There's no way it can win.

[Gortour]

Never anything nice to say... that's our Royal Ratshit...

And using the name of one of BMW's best engine designers for your small minded cr*p is unexcusable...

Get lost!!!

[paulrosche]

Good eye dude!

Now back on topic...

[maxfield]

Dude - Just fuck off!

It's not your car! You don't make the decisions on what mods are done to it! So if you haven't got anything good to say don't say anything at all

[madaboutthe30]

Woow, this thread went 180 in no time.

I agree with Max on this one. What "PaulRosche" said was a bit uncalled for.

We all do changes to our cars regardless of what people think. We do them for us and nobody else!!

Looks like quite a few man hours have been spent on that M3, so Im sure you can give credit for that.

[harry_p]

how about a tastefully modified m3?

clean,








dirty


winter spec

[Ziggy]

Daaaaamn that's nice! I think I'm having a mini-rebellion against clear indicators on M3s (don't know why!), but apart from that... Dirty pic's the best!

[harry_p]

it was built to be driven, so would be rude not to use it every day

[d6dph]

Stunning car Harry. I think I may even prefer it on the dustbin lids.

[oze30]

Does a Racing Dynamics body kit and M60b$0 from the House of Spadge.. or "The Firm" count?

[gazm3]

Here's another tastefully modified E30 M3?.




The rest of my German fleet below!.

[Jhonno]

Gazza and Harry..

[goosiegander]

Harry thats one damn fine car!
