The GR looks like fun; 1.6 litre & 257 bhp! Same 0-60 as my old Cayman S!  Might have missed it but what colour have you gone for?

Thanks.  Hoping it is all they say.  Had notification today on app that my car has left factory Aichi in Japan

Colour choice is limited.  I ordered ‘platinum white pearl.

Always liked the Yaris, looks like this development turns it into mini supercar. Quite jealous really but it's probably out of my pay grade.

I get my adrenaline rushes from flying PPG.

@zeta4Apart from the original e30 (for BTTC chops) e46 is my fav Mcar.  I had an early one but always wanted a CSL.  
Likewise hardly done any miles since last March.

BBK and new boots always a plus.  Can always sell on BBK if you do sell car...but i reckon e46 M3 is a collector’s car and a keeper 

 I had a Macau Blue E30 M3 Cecotto and foolishly sold it because the mrs didnt like lhd !.  Not selling the e46. Ive put a few CSL bits on it but Ive kept all the  original parts so it could go back to standard.

That's going to be huge fun and especially on our roads. Enjoy!

I still miss my E92 M3 that spilled it's guts on the autobahn (it threw a conrod at around 140mph and made a hole in the block). It had primary cat delete with an Evolve X-Pipe, Eisenmann race exhaust, full Evolve tune, and Rays Racing wheels - loved it and created some wonderful memories with it.

A wonderful engine (until it wasn't) and did everything well (we got my girlfriend's Audi estate delivered from Czech and emptied everything out of the boot and we could barely fit it all in the back of her car).  Then again, hitting a rock and doing the DCT resulted in a £14K bill - fortunately the insurance covered it after arguments about writing it off).

I still think the E46 looks good - it's aged really well.
