A lad I know has one in Estoril blue on the optional 19's, think its a 51 reg. Looks stunning in the flesh. He use to have an z3 m-tech roadster thing but was too small for him and before that he had a cvic type-r!! Worst thing is he's only 23!!

Red_Sxi 330 don't compare with the m3 imo, yeah alot cheaper but not as quick, alot of nice bits missing that you'd have on an m3, and well, it just aint an m3

0-100mph in 16.5s compared to 11.5s is so nearly as fast PMSL

p.s I refer the look of the punto to a BMW
Are you totally stupid Vib. Yeah we would all go for a punto over a M3, One of the best cars in production. PMSL
I never said I would take the punto over the M3. only a fool would do that. what I am saying is I prefer the look of the punto to a BMW coupe. not a fan of the way the car looks

So you don't like the arches and lines of the beema, compared with what a bread van
Don't get me wrong I don't dislkie punto's by a long stretch but they do not compare with an m3's looks, the wheels r nice and big (and don't look rediculous) just such nice cars

lad I know is driving about in the E36 M3 Evo at 19years old, and the bloke hasnt got a feckin clue how to handle the thing.
He started showing off on in the wet and lost the back end. I could tell he was as scared as me, which i thought to myself cant be good as hes the cnut driving, we ended up sliding broadside towards a load of oncoming traffic
Luckily he managed to put it right but put the shits up me big time!!
i will never get in that car again!

That's one thing i'd do, if I got rich 'quick' I would have some proper instruction driving fast
I'd also spend loads of time on the track teaching myself

Yeah I know mate, that's why I said ^^ I'd be scared of going round any corners fast in a brand new m3 I've driven a 4wd car b4 that was weird just accelerating hard, handling is totally different, especially in a rwd 320+ bhp m3
