well im back after 3 hrs driving in the M3 . Its now sitting on my drive :)
What a car... I test drove a few very briefly but after a longer drive its very apparent that i beats the S3 in pretty much every area.
Dont get me wrong. I loved the S3 and knew i would 'like' the M3 but was a bit...
A N D................ Back on topic.
thanks.. i enjoy a bit of photography here and there and its helpfull knowing vaguely what im doing when i come to capture what i do for work.
The blue S3 was a shame but i personally preferred the colour and spec of my 2nd car.
I collect the M3...
agreed. There will be no power mods under my ownership.
The e46 didnt 'feel' that much faster in a straight line then my s3 'felt' but it was a bit quicker from roundabout - bridge compared to the S3... the difference of NA vs FI. Am looking forward to it. It was actually a much more relaxing...
thanks... although its on a locked drive round the back of my property and keys are normally hidden away anyway in our house.
side point... not sure if it was a bit of BS but a friend who worked in insurance looked up my postcode and said it was one of the best in the country for getting...

Well my S3 ownership has come to an end and thought it was worth summing it all up aswell as thanking those on this forum who gave advice on problems and mods over the years..
The first car. 2001 Y, Nogaro Blue with Black Leather, Symphony2 with Bose, RSTT rep Wheels. AMD remapped. Had it...
lovely looking car.
my near perfect 2001 Y / 53k car with every option bar nav went for £10500 last weekend. Had one person look and bought it for what i was asking.
If you find the right buyer it will be easy.
good luck
I dont drive quite as hard these days... but i was pulling out of a junction today and needed to get up to speed pretty quick.. and i was in 3rd and as it went past 5000rpm it seemed to choke and wouldnt rev any more.
