Just discovered you can buy e90 m3 v8 engines for about £5k

Would be fun in an e30...

Seat Leon Cupra 290 at 24x£285 look good value as a fun smoker.

Yeah, mate just swapped his V8 M3 for a Megane due family costs. It’ll be an interesting swap. 👍

Commiserations on deciding to sell the M3. Congrats on the Golf GTI.

i didn’t have many choices (Black, white & blue), but I went for Atlantic Blue. It’ll basically look like this:

I keep buying blue cars:

F31 Estoril blue,
e92 Silverstone II/blue (ok, barely blue!)
e46 carbon Black (really dark blue)
Fiesta ST Performance blue x2

I’m quite looking forward to it - the interior will be a huge step up from the very 2008 bmw one, even if it will be a step down in performance. I’ve driven a fair few golfs over the years but I’m going to try and properly get behind the wheel of one ASAP (I have a couple of weeks cooling off period to fill) just in case there’s any horrors.

:D Though to answer your question, if I had £30k to spend, I expect I’d be in an M2/F80 M3.

I think you’ll enjoy the Golf, it’ll be interesting to see if the M3 stays under your skin until you get chance to change again.

I think I must be doing worse - I get through a tank a month and it doesn't turn a wheel Mon-Fri :lol:
