Imola, that's a BMW winey reddy kinda colour.

It's Milano Red I think

It is a UK car yeah, mine's an original Irish :cool:



even if it has 3hp less

I imported 99 milano Red one myself i sold her on a few years back with 40k km's on her and she left my house like it drove off the production line, suspension and all links and everything under the car was still the colour it was when it was made mint mint mint.
I don't see why a car being Irish makes it better if anything 11 years of irish roads and weather would put me off, I mean it wasn't built in Ireland lol. Mine came from the motherland of Japan.

My Baby, first decent pics I've taken of her as she's going up for sale today:mad:

beautiful car I had a 2003 one for a weekend recently in Donegal. she was an smg version with the CSL original boot bonnet and wheels and a carbob lip kit. they are a great car to drive and have superb handling. one thing that bugged me though with the M3 and i've had lots of beemers was why they never put a cup holder for the driver anywhere in the car. i had to drive from donegal with bottle of coke in between my legs lol. anyway small sacrifice for the ultimate driving machine

That is a fantastic machine - best of luck with the sale

What you getting instead?

Thanks, I'm on the look out for an X5, was on the lookout for an XC90 but the advice I got on here has steered me towards a nice big V8 engined X5.

I've had 4 1/2 years of motoring bliss with her though, I'll start saving for an M5.

I fully agree, you can actually get a cup holder for the E46 but it replaces the Euro storage unit beside the handbrake, and you have to drive with the arm rest up to use it, absolutely useless, I bought one years ago and took it out after a few weeks.
It's is a small price to pay for such a good car, almost perfect IMO.

Got some nice Brembo decals off eBay, high quality stuff. Thought the factory Brembos needed a bit of colour so they were just the ticket!

Graham_B18C

Seen as they're real brembos I suppose that's allowed! good job on applying em!

Richie..Galway

I dont get it? Whats the appeal of parking your car in a field?

Maybe if it was a John Deere or Land Rover...
