HU: Bargain M3?

[drewbarb]

I just saw this and thought I'd post it here. Looks like a good deal. I have no connection with the seller. Be well all.

That is a real M3. It's just been engraved.

That shutter curtain doesn't look right. A problem in the making.

 

[drewbarb]

Yeah, it looks like the second curtain isn't closing all the way. One of my M3's developed that problem after 35 years or so of use. It's a cheap and pretty easy fix. Still looks like a good deal to me, for under $500...anyway...

So how about posting some deals on a real M3! 😉

What makes you think it isn't a real M3??

I should have clarified myself - my mistake. 😱

I was referring to the car! 😱

Waiting for the new M3 ....

 

[drewbarb]

Ah- M3- should have looked more closely at your avatar. Now it's all clear.

... and hoping it looks less like a ******* Pontiac than all the other future-nightmare product BMW's produced lately.

Edit: Why the **** can't I say *******? This Big Brother software is is bull-****ing-****. ****!

No duck-tail on the new M3 🙂. If Pontiac will copy is another question.

This new engine displaces 3,999cc and makes 420hp at 8,300rpm, It is a screamer, revving all the way to a redline of 8,400rpm. Torque peaks at 3,900rpm with 400 newton meters, with 340Nm available from as low as 2,000rpm. The new 4.0 liter V8 is also amazingly lighter than the 3.2 liter inline-6 it replaces, weighing in at a mere 202kg, 15kg lighter than the inline-6, despite an additional 2 cylinders and all the extra valvetrain parts for a 90 degree V-design.
