    How about insuring an M3?

    I tried a few first and when the minute they heard M-Power, they said no way would they insure it.

    A few others would considerate insurance.

    How do you other guys find, trying to insurance an M3?

    So for all the people who thought it was 'OK' to drive the car hard just because it was able, would you be put out if you bought this car and found this out?

    An impreza is well 'able' for this, but I'd be pretty pi**ed off if this was my car.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    i cant afford new 'ones' ?

    There is only one diff on an m3 but you obviously havent the foggiest idea what it is, nor the cost of replacing it.

    Of course i can afford to replace it, as to whether i would like to spend 4k doing it, is a different story.

    oh and at the end of this post is where i would personally insult you so use your imagination

    Jeez, tetchyyy!

    I think the guy was actually referring to your tyres, seeing as you have posted before asking about recommendations, prices, fitting etc.

    Side point: It's now been mentioned here, and on the previous thread about M3Joe and his "thrashed" E36 M3 that he had videos of on Youtube while the car was on Carzone. Is the diff a known soft spot on BMWs or M3s? Everything I know about diffs and limited slip diffs would suggest to me that when the wheels are spinning freely, as in a donut, the diff is under a lot less stress than when trying to keep traction accelerating or cornering.
