The original V3 isn't that expensive from the US (around £400). There is a vendor doing a really good deal on my350z. His shipping to the uk is really cheap too.

One thing I would say about the nismo v3 is that it needs a hr bonnet. It was clearly designed to match the smooth design of the hr bonnet and looks wrong with a de bonnet.
I honestly think carbon wrap is awful...especially on a bonnet.
It looks cheap and nasty.
This is a much better option.

Is it possible to black out pre facelift headlights and not lose function?
Seems to be a lot of conflicting information.
The guy in Wigan is really good value. I'm gonna go for it if it's ok with pre facelift but I wouldn't dream of dropping £800 on a set of 2nd hand headlights.
it was thats why he needed the van lol
this thing i agree is fairly ugly but makes the z feel like a shed which isnt a good thing
Let's be honest....a Z is shed in comparison.
Great cars.
I nearly bought one a few years back but could only find ex lease cars in my price range. It's really important they're run in right so I didn't want a ex lease/company car.
The DCT box is epic and reliable. Changes are instant and savage.
They need to be rev'd to be enjoyed and to average drivers a chipped 335i feels quicker (due to the torque)
A friend has just bought a new f80 M3. He's letting me take it for a spin tomorrow.
I have a feeling I'm going to be very jealous. They definitely don't lack torque.
One thing I would say about E92 m3's is that most private sellers are dreaming with the prices they are advertising them for at the moment.
I wouldn't pay more than 25k for a clean 2010 DCT.
I don't agree that they are a good investment car. They are common and the values will go the same way as the E46.
Only m3 that is a investment car is the e46 CSL.
The 1M is a good investment too, but I think they're ugly.
