[Del-Bosc]

Hi guys

Anyone know anything about the car below ? Maybe some history on it, is it really as good as the ad portrays?

317kw and 550NM?????
Other than that the car really looks good but there's no pics of the engine bay.

Why does that rear look noting like an M3:skit:

That car has been for sale for quite a while. If I remember correctly, it was at R160 000 the last I went past that same dealership in Alberton. I wonder what warranted the price hike?

 

[Technician]

Mike normally always has good cars.
i would go and have a look...........

He is a huge M fan....

R160000 was for Mikes personal 4 door that was for sale but has been sold now. This car from what I know has been marked at R179k since its been at Mike's place. Was there yesterday, they've put the original 17" rims on as the ones in the pic are 18's, guy just changed them for a change. Belongs to a car collector, also in the pic it has a full TNT exhaust system but the original one is there and comes with the car. Car is very clean and definately worth a look!

I think 179k is abit high. The understand the car looks clean and the mileage is low, but for that price many would look for an e46 M3. Ideal price i'd say should be 140k-150k. Just my opinion.

yep the stats is wrong.
NM way off... by about 200-220nm too much

 

[Ga-3M]

Yip they obviously made a mistake/incorrect ones used with the stats, should be 228kw and about 320/340NM if I remember correctly.

 

[Del-Bosc]

So you guys think this might be a good buy ? anyone willing to check it for me ? cannot make it that side of the world anytime soon

 

[tyu333]

I would say it's a good by, try get the price down

 

[Gordvisr]

And the 8.8/100 fuel is more like 16/100 :rollsmile:

:biglol:

16 is steep, mine is at 13 average stop & go and 6-8 doing 120-140kmph on long road... for my 3,2L :cartel:

Correct, 228kw SA spec, 236kw, German Spec, same as Z3 M Coupe IIRC:coolShake:

no 236 kw version for SA due to fuel issues.........low compression pistons installed 10.5 VS 11.3.

Only imports have 236kw

Correct SA had 225kw I think

550NM at 1850 rpm? That must be amazing in that car.
