That's a nice choice. I can understand exactly why you'd buy one; there is something about them.

I'm a total estate car convert, that is a very nice looking car.

M3 = good.
Estate = good
Colour = fabulous
Current BMW styling = still gash.

I'm sure my opinion is utterly irrelevant to you and I'm sure you'll love it.

Anyhoo, some have correctly surmised it’s a BMW.. however it’s not a black one! Actually, very little is black on it! It’s an IoM green M3 Touring with silverstone interior and silver wheels (admittedly it has black calipers).. picking it up next Friday

Should've got a Giulia QV.

It's funny how their appearance has almost become normalised, I don't even notice the massive grille any more.

Lovely, I too have bought a BMW but the similarities pretty much end there…

This is correct, and also

Excellent choice but needs more black

Sorry, somehow missed this.. that’s a very kind offer that I’d like to take advantage of if still available? Thanks for the info regarding wheels, I need to join m3cutters by the looks of it!

Thanks for the (mostly) positive comments.. just been shocked by the insurance quote £600 excess, 8000 miles, 2 drivers, eu cover, legal, hire car -£520 full covered! Very happy with that. That’s with Admiral

I feel bad now. Not as bad as I'll feel when you overtake me with ease while carrying half a tonne of compost, though.

Is that green an Alpina colour ?

Looks lovely, just anything but black, silver or grey!

Dave!

I fully understand why people buy them, I’m sure they are amazing and I applaud your purchase.

However they still make me want to dig my eyeballs out with a spoon and stamp on them every time I see one

Posted: **Sun Aug 10, 2025 8:17 pm**

Must admit, I've come round to the design of them

Of course, they're not quite the great looking M3's of old

Enjoy it Ian, and put some pics here of it when you've taken delivery
