As some of you may know I know have an M3 and looking at forums and tuning SOME parts seem pretty reasonable compared to the coop.
I know that sounds mad, but its true.
Ill give a few examples in a mo.
Just want to say, before anyone reminds me that BMW servicing is expensive, insurance is more and there is generally more on the car to go wrong etc etc and tyres too, but I have 18" Conti on the coop, so going up to 19" is probably only £30 a tyres more. Would be more of a shock if I had standard 16" wheels on the coop.

Anyway, you can get fully adjustable coilovers for th M3 for around £620 delivered (That is with a group buy discount)
For the coop your looking at around £750-£800 IIRC

Carbone Lorraine pads for the M3 around £130
Pagid Blue for the coop around £200 delivered.

Eibach springs for the M3 £180ish
For the coop £259!

There are a few more examples, but you get the idea.

No point to this, just thought id share my thoughts,

Thanks.

It is shocking!
But it's still a very popular car and people are still buying stuff for them.

So you modifying the M3 then??

Technics , slightly off topic , are you planning to do a write up of your M3 ownership so far ? I for one would be very interested to read it.

Hi Sean, was meant to clean and take photos of the BM on Sunday and ended up taking a few pics of the coop in the end and was just a little busy.

As soon as the weather is good or at least dry I will take a few pics and do a little write up,

As Marco said - there will be more M3's in London than there are coupes on the road, supply, demand and market.

I would have thought that the BM set up would have been pretty good anyway and I thought the wheels sat in the arches - can you really drop one?

Roger at Poweritalia now works on BMW's, so worth a call if you need any advice in the future.

Happy new car

That's good to know. Saw him a few times before Barbz was back in the area and I like Rog and the team, he is a good bloke. Only went to Barbz as he is 15 mins away from me.

Cheers.
