Don't be so hard on the PH massive, I have learnt a lot tonight from the trolls.

I plan to sell the CSL, buy a 318i manual for £1000. Will then rip out the rear seats to save weight, put some fake CSL wheels on it, some Halfords carbon fibre effect trim, remap it, and I'll have a CSL for less than £2k. :supz:

You cannot just put cups on a fat bastard M3 and expect it to be any good. Coz its not!

Piss £15k up the wall and your getting somewhere.

But its then not as fun on the road as a CSL.

The end.

Billy your f*t B*****d M3 does go well though and you don't need to worry to much if you stuff it into the wall. :smokin:

Just out of interest, how people have been sent the link to that pistonheads article by their friends in the last two days and how many times?

The fact there's a ratty 90k miler on eBay with the new engine that hasn't sold for £30k does raise some good points though...

Really? It's hardly a good investment proposition (which is what seems to be driving the prices up). Good cars will sell, bad cars will hang around (for good reason). The bad cars will only sell when there are no good cars around for sale.

And spending 5k just to make it look nice. Needs to be run in.
Lots of dosh spent, not sure how you get a whole new airbox

I don't understand boot floor repairs that don't involve welding reinforcement plates on the stressed areas to prevent cracks.

That should solve the problem once and for all.

Why doesn't everyone who has issues do that?

[CSLManual]

I thought that just transferred the problem elsewhere?

Unless this is combined with the resin injection into the cavity between the two floor sections, it will just end up ripping the entire floor out around the strengthened areas.

The issue is caused by the yawing motion of the bolts because of the weakness of the two pieces being too thin and not bonded together. The resin injection effectively seals the two pieces together and prevents the yawing motion which cause the cracks. I also personally think the holes that BMW use are too big and could benefit from a sleeve. I believe the holes are this size for location purposes, but a friend who has repaired eight boot floors so far has yet to see one that doesn't line up exactly afterwards.
