I guess this is why the M3 was poo in the snow
 

Had the M3 a few months now and got back into the swing of RWD, Been using it in M track mode and having lots of fun.
Was fooking shocked when i spotted this today.

:sad: Not what you want to start the New Year but they cost ££££££££

The price of having fun!!!

Rich your so right, but i got to say its an amazing car, only just getting to feel just how sorted it is.
It certaily keeps you on your toes, actually shows how my scoobs 4 wheel drive is so good especially in the wet.
If its raining then the M3 might as well be a 318i

As for tyres.
Continentals £250 each
Mich pilot sports £290 each
P Zeros £300 each
Toyos and yoki's £300 plus

The rears on an M3 are only good for 7 to 9k max. Big Ouch

Thats gonna get expensive!

Oops, could have been an interesting conversation with Mr Plod there!

Sure is, Got inspection 2 and will need rear discs and pads also.
Before its service i am getting it mapped and delimited, been reading up loads on various forums, should be good for 360 bhp and 185mph.:doubleup:

Cos that'll be useful on the M25 :rofl:

In readiness for the autobaan and the ring:wink:

I know, good job i spotted them whilst washing the car, could not beleive it as there was a fair amount of tread when i brought the car only a couple of months ago.

Time to get the scoob out of the garage:mrgreen:Have missed it

Ouch, tyres not cheap

Not looking forward to the next lot of snow, now i've gone RWD on both cars :doh:

What width are they??

They are 255.35.19 bloomin wide :yeah:

ASF In Crowborough? I went there last week for mine, very nice chaps in there.

Yes mate, I have used them for years, very competative and nice guys.
They will take extreme care with your wheels too.

They are good, as Martyn says, really careful with your alloys.

255 and still no grip lol.
Running 255 on my classic :) and grips like sh&t to a blanket.
Mind you must be better with tread?
