No idea jambo but theres about 5 pages of chanels to scroll through....not all available all th time though its a bit pot luck & you get different ones available in Edinburgh(work) than outside my home 35 miles away.
Im loving it, not been giving it the full beans yet as its been a bit wet, sitting in traffic today so didnt have much chance. I want to get used to it anyway so I dont end up putting it backwards through someones wall.
My mate compaired to to an angry old man mixed with machine gun's when floored
Fantastic car through & through
Jade likes it because its got QVC on the TV

Im not really someone to get into track days or driving on the limit. I can appreciate a quick road car without driving like a numptie. And its just as nice a car tootling along with the windows down & the tunes pumping. Not a bad suggestion tho

None of the info about the car made sense to me until Jade said it had a wee t.v and no clutch. It is therefore a cool car.

Indeed it is freeview, the aeriel might be in the rear window like the radio (not totally sure).
You can also make the TV work whilst driving because the TV cut-off is connected to the handbrake switch, so if you take the wire off the handbrake switch and earth it, it will think the handbrake is on all the time.
You can then watch jeremy kyle at 155mph

awesome colin, so much better than the rs imo.
the rs wouldn't be as good to drive to work and back as the m3 i feel, and you won't have any 1.2 corsa's up your arse trying to race you
i wish i could get one of these

Yeah Im thinking that way now aswell. Still no customers have an RS in the UK, it all seems a bit of a fuck up. Wasnt to be.
I only need to drive to work for another 2.5 weeks hopefully
Not had anyone try to race me, just lots & lots of stares from folk

those in car freeviews are quite expensive I thought, £180 upwards.

Screw your M3, I have Freeview in my Fiesta
I'd say going on an advanced driving course is very OTT. It's like when I jumped onto a 600cc bike, you just learn to use the power appropriately, aslong as you're sensible enough.

I love e46 m3's
A local (midlife crisis) man has one. In estroil blue with tinited windows! Looks stunning, untill you look at the back and he has a silver plastic reg plater surround and to clip on DTM style tips. You can see the clamps hanging off the botton where they attatch to the backbox, with the orginal pipes in side them
Why do these sort of people have the money to kill cars like these?
