View Full Version : M3 Vs Nova! My Baby is back!!
Well, today was 'blow the winter cobwebs out' day, and luckily my mate has a nice private road outside his unit! He also has an M3! I had my video camera, and a (useless) camera man!
Grudge match!!!

Im loving that video - just can beat the sounds of the Bavarian straight 6 but the XE makes your spine tingle with joy!
lol, well the solid engine mounts make your ass tingle with joy as well.
And have to agree, M3's do sound lovely, but still wouldnt swap it for the bwarp bwarp! (although id swap for the RWD, leather and the drop top)

Nuts - a private road with public road markings ---- ok :P
shame the 'private' road wasnt half a mile longer so you could really see how they compared.

See you there then Burgo, and be gentle with the TD. And dont be mean about my camera man, good retards are hard to find lol
Stu, next time its the time warp! lol
And it IS a private road, it even says it on the road sign at the end of it, coupled to the fact that the land the industrial estate stands on is actually owned by the guy in the M3's dad lol

not 100% sure but i thought private land open to public still falls under the juristriction of the police and its regulations - and unless you have Public liabilty cover, any1 u ran over could sue - id be careful - plenty of loopholes for thats sort of thing
^^^ get off your high horse...

Jesus, this is england! If I left a brick on my living room floor and a burglar tripped over it mid 'burgle', hed probably be able to sue me for that as well, so who cares!
If i was going to run over anyone, it would have been the crap camera man anyway lol
