No offense but that is a super ugly car for the money. It's like they used American luxury styling on a European convertible.

I don't get people who complain about threads like this one.
it's NEWS & GOSSIP ffs.
also: ugly car is ugly, hot gf is hot.

he has bad taste imo

I you're going to get a 6 series you have to go with the M6 and any color but that.

M3 is the easy choice here though.

For that much money I would gladly take an M5 over a 6-series.

hard to spend 100k this poorly, throw another 30-40k down and pick up a blacked out R8, dude. Seems like a cool guy though.

Thread title fail.

no money in cars, girlfriend is solid

Girlfriend confirmed adorable.

hideous

She's a solid seven, imo.

100% This.

And thats coming from someone with a 330cd (for those stateside convertible diesel!!) but who cant afford the best in class M3. Why wouldn't you get top of the range? (if you can afford it.....maybe he actually can't? Lol!)

I will say this to make me feel better, my car does push out more torque than an M3, so *** the Mseries! Well til i can afford one, be it new shape M3c or M5........


But yea, seriously if he can afford the M, then either he really loves that particular colour, or he just doesn't really know about cars......hell its still a 5.0 so its hardly slow (tho probably auto......lolauto!!)

Does your 330cd have an open diff like the US models?
Can/have you chipped it?
What are your torq/hp numbers?

BMW has really lost the plot with new 6 and X6 series imo. They have been trimming them out since the original designs but they are still bloated and awkward.

He had an M3 before, dunno what he did with it. Prob sold it. I prefer the M series as well but then that's what I have so I'm biased

[ ] Would spend $100K on this car.
[X] Would have bought a GT-R

boss and style

+1 so much.

I wouldn't take any other car other than a McLaren F1 over a GT-R these days.

Datsun ftw.

I don't like that particular BM.. I like M5 more.. if it has to be coupe then maybe MB CLK.

Sorry man late reply......Cocaine's a helluva drug!!

Yes it did have an open diff, but I've had the LSD (Limited Slip Diff) off an M3 fitted.

I have also had the engine remapped I'll give you some stats below for mine, then compare the torque in all M3 models, my torque is really stupid now and borderline scary lol, but it had more torque than an M3 even before i had the remap done....Man that BMW 24v Turbo is sik.....Can only imagine what the new 335d is like with a remap......

Mine before remap (late '05 330cd):
BHP - 204
Torque - 409 N-m

Mine after remap (tested on rolling road):
BHP - 252
Torque - 498 N-m

Now I'll put down ALL the M3 models but only their respective torque stats, as it's not worth mentioning BHP as even the lowest M3 (US version) is nearly 100bhp higher than mine with remap and the top GTR version pushes out 500bhp, lol sik...

M3 (US) 355 N-m
M3 (EURO) 365 N-m
M3 CSL 370 N-m
M3 GTR (Street) 444 N-m
M3 GTR (Race) 501 N-m


Trust me the torque is sik, and truly an enjoyable experience, tbh it's turned me into a torque fiend rather than power now, and I've also come round to the power on tap that the new diesel engines produce.
However, I will be having an M at some point though, no doubt about it, as, although I can hold my own with one (M3) for a good while, the extra engineering that is in that car just takes over, as it should of course.


Also the X6 is one ugly mofo...

Buying a BMW in the UK is the equivalent to buying a Crossfire in the U.S - hardly a sweet buy

Buying a BMW in Germany is equivalent to having a very, very small penis.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAh
