coldel Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 The cleaning up bit I can do...I am also finding myself looking at RS5's but almost feel like I am cheating going for a big modern V8. I think if I go German it would be an E46 M3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilogikal1 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Okay, using waterless wash was a major league f**k up... but it ain't a £12k+ 'Teg league f**k up! Don't. Just, please, don't. I don't know if you can tell, but I'm slightly not for that daft idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee370Z Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I've had both a Z4M Roadster and a E92 M3. Both have very nice NA engines I reckon. This was the day I traded the Z4M in for the M3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
