No comment haha, it's also the having a swish car you find no one lets you out of junctions etc , if I'm in one of my "shonky" vauxhalls people seem to give way to me etc if I'm in a customers car in work or one of the step dads cars people go out there way to not let me go etc .... Maybe it's just me lol

There was a batch of very early ones that suffered from head bolts snapping, were recalled etc and converted to studs I think, the later ones don't suffer from it, was literally just a small batch of early ones

Likewise.
MRC remap and smaller supercharger pulley for almost 500bhp 
I am swaying more and more toward these for that reason. Like the sleeper factor of it too compared to the m3 which is a bit more in your face. Going to go an drive a few different things over the coming weeks to give me a better perspective

E92's are climbing in price currently, not biased but I had a similar decision to make and ended up with the M3.
The other option is sod the 4 seats and look at Noble M12's

Ive always wanted a go a proper go of an E92 M3 with DCT
Don't see many issues with C63s here at Merc but the gearboxes on them are rather out of date compared with BMWs DCT, VAGs DSG and Porsches PPK.
Feel free to take my Evo out for a drive and see what you think of it.

Hardly surprising and i think they will continue to do so. Likely to be the last ever manual V8 BMW will ever make.

£20k! Baller!
S4 Avant - Lovely car, id be happy with one of those!
Something to take on track though, as much as you could take an avant on, not really as good as an M3 for that is it?
Btw people he wants something to which he can fit a bike rack

Nope. Only ever seen one car with its cam covers off, it was an early car and get hammered everywhere hot or cold by its drug dealer owner. Got some new shims in two lifters from memory and that is it.
Other than that not seen anything
