Newbie - Ex Edition 30 Owner

Depends on your budget for a GTi mate but with Ed30 prices dropping so much in last year you might get one for similar money as a GTI, I read on another post that a Guy got a silver ED30 07 plate  for 10200 with FSH low miles, thats not far off GTI money and a remap in an Ed30 will give you roughly the same power as your M3 anyway (bearing mind weight diff of around 250kg), its well known that a re-mapped Ed30 stays with an M3 

Nice cars btw

Stage 1 Eddie can take the E46 M 
Stage 2+ can take the V8 
Love the V8 M3 tho

Word on street is the new ///M3's are going to be twin blowers

Twin blowers on a straight six I believe, The Diesel M5 looks like its going to be a rip snorter and with 45mpg

Thought i should update this out of politeness ...

Ended up buying an R32 in the end lol. Still averaging 29mpg, but meh, the noise makes up for it  Will keep lurking on the forum though, will be wanting some bits & bobs over the coming years and im sure some of the Gti parts are interchangeable with the R32 

Fited some of Mandy's paddles already as it happens!!!



Most of the toys as well:

Yeah, i would have probably preferred manual, but the spec of the car, & the deal available meant that i would have been daft not to buy it really
