Day out hooning with an M3 (pic heavy)

Post by Adamski » Sat Jul 26, 2014 8:22 pm

Not been on here much lately. And probably won't be on much for the next wee while. Too busy with life and various other things. More on that later.....

That said, I'm still kicking about. Had a nice day's hooning today so thought I'd share some pics.

Was out at Crieff, Kenmore and took various back roads and passes on the way, including a stonking run up through the Glens.

I was in my zed. My buddy was in his E46 M3 SMG. It's a fantastic example, and although I'm not a fan of the SMG, would love to own one. So much more practical than the zed, and yet in 90% of situations, it's just as quick. By far the best M3 ever made.

Enjoy......

Looks a great day, it's always a good day when you have a duel hoon.

As for the E46 being the best M3 ever made....CSL maybe, otherwise it's hard to justify that BMW have managed to beat the E30.

For looks, power and RHD availability I'd say the E46 wins. But agree the E30 was special

If they are the criteria surely the new F80 is the best M3?

Great pics adamski, the zed as impractical as it can be wins hands down on the looks department which says something as in that colour the e46 looks perfect.

Lovely pics! A thought just crossed my mind whilst looking at them... Can you imagine an e86 in Estoril Blue?!?

Now that would be a nice looking motor :-)
