Got it

[AlpinaAl]

Picked up the M3 today, just got back from the ferry journey home, was up at 5am this morning to catch the flight but all I'll say is that it was well worth it :) , guy met me at the airport (top bloke who supplied the car really helpful so big thank you to him [cool )

Drove straight to roy for bits, had to get rid of the orange bulbs, and then an hour later drove it from Roys to Poole, was so nice, I dont think Im gona end up driving my Alpina anymore (poor thing)

Love the car, drives great, sounds great Im made up. Only down side was that it pissed down all day so the cars filthy, hoping for sun tommorow and its out with the polish and the camera :cool:

:D :D

If you drive properly, around 230 miles to 60 litres. :D

[benny boy]

[noodler]

Thats real good mileage for an M3. I get 220 out of my 330 auto but that is all town driving.

[adood84]

Congrats alex, cant wait to go up against you at brunters or something...;)


How can you boys only get 230miles out of a tank, i get around 300+ and thats driving Hard. Must be the extra 1.5k rev limiter:D

[330-Singh]

230 miles out of an M3 is terrible! I would have thought you would get close to 280 driving sensibly? Damn I won't be getting an M3 then...... [hmm
